    The CEOs job is to run the entire operation and recruit underlings to run different departments. Perhaps he should appoint a director of commercial activity to oversee the commercial manager. A CEOs job is to appoint a football manager or if you like a head of football and a coach and then let them run the football side within the financial guide lines. Of course when the manager fails he is ultimately the one the can falls at but in sport and football there are so many variables

    He’s not the DOF. Leon Hunter is.

    Exactly, Sparks himself has openly admitted he does this and is actively involved in the negotiations.

    That's worked well since Parky left I must say
    If it don't work don't fix, it is that what you are saying
    Imagine a DOF who would have had a word in MH ear to say this boring negative football won't get us promoted or why do we need to give 3 year contracts to 30+ year old journeymen etc etc the list really is a long one
    Maybe someone to release some burden of RS shoulders when selecting new managers and provide some much needed football knowledge
    Exactly the reason why this season and next season promotion is a pipe dream
    I know it doesn't make sense and won't catch on but just a thought

    Of course he is involved in transfer fees and salaries that goes without saying. He doesn’t interfere in player selection nor should he

    You went on about CEO’s at Stockport and Stevenage thinking you are smart but fail to mention that both clubs have DOF. The before I replied who you said it was Steve Evans job which it clearly isn’t.


    Stop defending the club when it’s failing. Sparks is failing, Rupp is failing.

    The only thing not failing or letting down the club is the fans currently!!

    Why get a director in the commercial department when it is successful? The whole point in a director of football is to bring much needed expertise and experience to the club where it is clearly lacking, we obviously aren’t failing commercially.

    Serious question do you think the commercial side is successful? And do you think the football side is successful?

    They should be two totally different answers, then that’ll give you a good reason why a director of football is needed. A bit like when people get brought in to oversee a failing school by ofsted.

    When a school is failing they bring in a good headmaster who sets the ethos. If the club decides to bring a head of football in so be it. But it is no panacea it’s just another employee making decisions
