Turnbull's gone, so his lack of success is as relevant as that of Archie Christie's (RIP).

If those scouts are Derek Adams', he can take them with him when he goes - and at that point, we should install a DoF (one extra cost), a new coach (replacement) and new scouts employed by the club (replacements).

Either way, a DoF isn't going to cost 'millions', and there isn't some massive superstructure required to get the best out of a DoF either.

 

I disagree, if it was as simple as you make out, more clubs would be doing it and doing it well. A director of football would not solve our immediate problems. How many directors of football are out of work at the minute? We would have to find them, and if they are currently in work they would cost a fortune as the current club would still need them. As confident as you are can you name any that would be a good fit into our current style of play? And what would we do if he said the rest of his recruitment team had to come with him?

The clubs that actually do it good are the teams who spend millions to actually find the players they need. Barnsley, Brentford and Norwich pump so much money into it. If you find a bargain DoF all you get are bargain players.

you get what you pay for.
