Mark_w Posted 15 June 2012 Share Posted 15 June 2012 I don't really see many people on here knowing an awful lot about what he is and isn't responsible for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaspa Posted 15 June 2012 Share Posted 15 June 2012 He did a great job in securing Maynard And we didn't have to pay over the odds for any of our signings last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guesty Posted 15 June 2012 Share Posted 15 June 2012 Don't know exactly what he does, but I doubt he has final say. Just gets told to negotiate the best deal. Which isn't easy when you've got owners who say in the media they've got lots of money and want premiership football. Then on top of that - Svens the manager. If it was all his fault we'd still probably be signing players on silly money under Pearson. The fact we're not sort of shows hes not to blame.

davieG Posted 15 June 2012 Share Posted 15 June 2012 He's been at the club since MON took him on to act as ago between him and Pierrepoint. He would have been given a list of names by Sven/Pearson and a budget from Top and told to go and do the legwork, the Board would have given final approval of all contracts. If they and/or Sven didn't like what had been negotiated they wouldn't have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalRobboFOX Posted 16 June 2012 Share Posted 16 June 2012 I've dealt with him personally. Helped the club with accommodation for loanees a couple of seasons ago. Not a great business man IMO (paid massively over the odds, and didn't attempt to negotiate with me)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 16 June 2012 Share Posted 16 June 2012 Cannot really defend him look at the wages and transfer responsible hardly the act of a great negotiator, he must be held accountable for what has gone on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 16 June 2012 Share Posted 16 June 2012 I think he has little influence in negotiations but fails to stop things when they go mad, aka Maynard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon, I read many posts on here and really enjoy them, I very rarely comment, i eave that for the likes of Davie G and Thacian and others who seem better placed and deliver.quality. Do you know me? I dont think i know you,, so why the sweeping and incorrect statement? I skim over your posts as they all seem to dismiss what others have said in a very arragont way, you seem to have a problem, maybe too long alone with your PC? or a poor attempt at creating an image, either way its very sad. There is a group who think they can dictate this site,this fact is often commented to me. Those who don't post into 1,000s are often shot down in the hope of creating an elite group? I will continue to enjoy the quality posts and filter through the insulting dross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will continue to enjoy the quality posts and filter through the insulting dross. Well why not enlighten us to your position within the club then and how you are privy to information that could only be gleaned from people directly involved. If you are going to post in a thread slating someone who's been at the club longer than most people on here have even supported it, how about some detail to back it up? I would be 99.9% certain you don't have first hand evidence of what does and does not happen during negotiations, who gives who orders, and exactly what those orders are. Why am I so confident you're not privy to this information, because if you were you'd have said something before. Or actually posted something constructive in this thread rather than you've now sussed him out. So yes, I am dismissing your post. Post something with detail, with fact, and I'll listen to it. If not you just get filed in the same draw as Happy Fox and the other reactionaries who only see in black and white. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts.... So offer some. As for my post being insulting, if you find being challenged on something insulting you need to grow a pair. And the internet probably isn't for you.

And I usually agree with most of what he is saying. I don't profess to be part of any 'elite group', neither would I wish to be. This is meant to be a football forum not a 'old boys network'. I simply enjoy reading Thracian, Babs, Flowwolf (always good for a laff and a smiley) and most particularly Trent Fox, amongst others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21st Century Fox Posted 20 June 2012 Share Posted 20 June 2012 Only seem to have happened when Sven was here. Which happened to coincide with the period when the Thais were gambling and going hell bent for promotion. If anyone truly believes that owners entrust football managers who usually don't tend to have any qualifications in business or economics with millions of pounds of their money to randomly throw about on contracts and transfer fees, they may be taking Football Manager slightly too literally.

His personal job description is not on the web, only a generic sample of what a Director of Football might do. andrew neville is completely in charge of contracts for players . i even know who types them for him . he isnt good at them , imo . please just accept that as its TRUE . He was a secretary that was given a directors job . hence the mistakes. do you fancy him or something ? he did what he did as in contract deals ,him andrew neville .please look at the dross we've got on £££ and also the contracts he agreed to for players who didnt play or couldnt play due to retirement and injury ,you just cant write it .are you blinded by the light ?
