FantasticMrFuchs Posted 20 February 2013 Posted 20 February 2013 Jake WatsonKLFM96.7 â€@Watson_Jake Believe #lcfc owners have spoke to a number of people about Director of Football role. Rarely work. Expect will cause rift with management. Reliable source, Opinions?
Happy Fox Posted 20 February 2013 Posted 20 February 2013 Honestly still don't know what they do? According to Wiki The presence of a director of football acts as an intermediary between the manager and the board and may relieve pressure on a manager by handling aspects away from day-to-day coaching, allowing a manager to focus on on-pitch performance. The director may also help to stabilise the club – many examples exist of director stepping in as a caretaker manager on the departure of the manager. The director – often an experienced football figure – may also positively advise a less experienced manager or the board of a less well developed club. In contrast, there are many examples of tensions arising between director and manager, often due to questions over the remit and powers of the two positions; particularly with regard to control over transfer policy. This had led to many well publicised and often, highly damaging disputes within clubs
The People's Hero Posted 20 February 2013 Posted 20 February 2013 Opinion is that NP could fall out with his own shadow. If they are looking at getting a DoF, they must want NP gone, because he won't stick around. Besides, if anyone tries to tell him he can't buy crap like Vardy... well, can you imagine his strop?

Happy Fox Posted 20 February 2013 Posted 20 February 2013 Is Jake Watson just regurgitating what IndyKaila said or does he have info? Freelance journalist â€@indykaila Leicester City owners looking at the option of bringing in Director of football into the club. #LCFC
ThurnbyLodgeFox Posted 20 February 2013 Posted 20 February 2013 Pearson will walk if this happens, can't imagine he'd be overly pleased with it Ridiculous idea anyway and rarely works out Would rather the money spent on wages be invested into the team/stadium or academy for that matter
Guest Bilo Posted 20 February 2013 Posted 20 February 2013 Another of those silly roles aimed at giving managers who can't manage a wage thanks to clever agents. The fact that D*nnis W*se held the role at Newcastle tells you much about the calibre of men who go for them. We neither need nor want one here.

FantasticMrFuchs Posted 20 February 2013 Author Posted 20 February 2013 Didn't Dave "Bertie" Basset hold the role years ago?

Fair enough wasn't sure, if this is the case then it looks like the management may change then, cannot see NP working under a football director personality clash etc.

Mate what is your problem? Litrally all you ever do is moan, Nick pick and Critisice on here. Do you Honestly Think MON would have stood for some one saying he couldnt buy certain players? Maybe he was crap too!

Do you Honestly Think MON would have stood for some one saying he couldnt buy certain players? Maybe he was crap too! I'm not saying he would have done nor that NP should do. I'm commenting (my opinion) on a story/rumour someone has posted. My assertions are that NP wouldn't like it and the board must know this. If they proceed, they must be happy call NP's bluff and for him to go. I don't think there is anything overly negative or controversial there.

Do we really want one of those?
Wilson_6 Posted 20 February 2013 Posted 20 February 2013 http://youtu.be/T25m9TQ03N8 ...That was quick!
Thorpie45 Posted 20 February 2013 Posted 20 February 2013 The club secretary Andrew Neville sort of acts as a DoF for us at the minute, handles a lot of the transfer negotiations etc.

Good call,that's one way of getting Pearson to walk rather than elbowed, and the owners keep their hands clean with (most) fans. As you say, Pearson won't hang around if he can't play his own team. I do wonder if he can work with anyone other than Shakey?
Leicesterpool Posted 20 February 2013 Posted 20 February 2013 I think if they did decide to bring an director of football in then I thing they should warn plus ask him to suggest somebody, Ron Atkinson anyone? or it could be a chance of a Sven return?

I don't think there is anything overly negative or controversial there. Fair enough this wasnt that controversial, It just seems when ever any one posts a new thread you're always there to critizise and be negative in some way Just my Opinion.
Deucalion Posted 20 February 2013 Posted 20 February 2013 I don't think the owners should do anything to 'encourage' Pearson to leave. All the negativity at the moment just shows how fickle football fans are as we looked nailed on for 2nd about 2 weeks ago. This said...Paulo Di Canio is available and would not be boring! Or, as someone has said, maybe it is Neville who the owners want rid of?
