I'm not sure how I feel about the prospect of Warnock as a director of football.

Don't get me wrong, the guy certainly has his strengths, but a directors role and a management role are very different things.

I think Warnock's main strength lies in the clarity of vision he has in how he wants to play, and how well that is communicated to the team.
He keeps it simple and everyone in a Warnock team knows what they are expected to do.

Having a football philosophy is pretty important for a DoF, but a directors role should be transformational not transactional and be thinking about the longer term. I may be doing him a disservice, but I think he may be a little old school to keep up with the latest practices.

The DoF is not there to hand hold an inexperienced manager.
