Sproson and Legge. Can't believe what I'm reading!

Who else? Sam Collins? Abdulai Bell-Baggie? Neil Brisco could be good.

Tin Foyle 😬👍

There’s seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding as to what a DoF actually is.

It isn’t just a chief scout.

We are bound to be confused since the one we have just got rid of wasn't very good at the job...

A lengthy read, obviously varies with the size of the club.

Someone sets the budget - Carol

Someone gives a brief on player profiles and positions to target - Moore

Someone in charge of overseeing that fact-finding / feasibility option compilation and managing scouts -  head of recruitment

Someone has final say if negotiations are within the outlined financial framework - Moore

Only then can you put blame for failure on the pitch at the manager’s door. You said what you wanted, the club found them, you selected them, trained them, gave them tactics and all that, the results are on you.

Moore wouldn’t let us down with that autonomy and responsibility being available to him in L1 or L2.

We’ve eventually disposed of our DoF and due to it being disastrous on the whole, we’re not sure if we’ll recruit another DoF. We have a manager who signed a 5.5 year contract but no one knows if or what clauses there are in his contract. If we’re relegated and DM has a release clause in his contract or a clause where he can leave if a team from a higher league made an approach for him.? With the players that we currently have, where is this going to leave us at the start of next season, especially if we are relegated to L2.? This season has been damaging for our club both in performances and how the club is being run. I base this on what I see as an irretrievable breakdown in the relationship between the club and fans, especially regarding dissemination of information and facilities at VP. The club wanting to charge a fee for a news letter, fans are stakeholders and should be appraised of certain levels of information without having to suffer and further financial cost.
