If AR is to be our manager, do you think that we will be getting a DoF?

I would love us to get Tony Mowbray as DoF, if AR has negotiated it as part of his deal.

Only in Cardiff City world would a rookie head coach pick his DoF. Head coaches have a lifespan akin to that of WW1 fighter pilots, while the DoF's are supposed to be the generals.

Probably Rambos' agent or the guy who organised his stag night.

I’d have Bellamy as DOF if it was workable with the FAW.
I don’t think it has to be a full time role.

A few years ago when this was discussed someone suggested Laura MacAllister.
A couple of days later she was in St Canna's having a pre-match drink. I told her about the suggestion and asked her what she thought. She said she'd love to do it.

I'd be very surprised if it isn't Gavin Chesterfield.

Would rather a full time CEO, never been a huge DoF fan.

Is Tony Mowbray TM or AM?

Re: If AR is to be our manager, do you think that we will be getting a DoF?

Have been thinking about this for a while. The only way that I can see an AR appointment working is with a DoF, but it would have to be someone that Tan either has an existing relationship with, or someone that he would trust (possibly by reputation, or by knowing that they care for the club, and would have it's best interests at heart). Nothing to these names but pure speculation, but some people who might fit that category are:

Steve McPhail,
Dave Jones (pretty sure I heard him touting himself for the role in some interview recently),
Tony Mowbray,
Warnock (disaster waiting to happen for me),
Mark Allen,
Osian Roberts (unfortunately would probably be out of our league),
An internal appointment - Chesterfield/Purse/etc.
Russel Slade.

Interestingly, I saw that former City Academy product Joe Jacobson has been appointed to a similar role for Reading!

Jacobson, or JJ, is doing Ken Choo's job, not a DOF.

It's vital we appoint a director of football or similar. He's also going to need to appoint a decent backroom team

Doesn’t he need to appoint the manager, isn’t that the point.

Yeah, when I read the article and he was describing what he would be doing in his co-CEO role, he mentioned that it wouldn't be a typical CEO role, and him having had a professional playing career meant he could get involved in more from the footballing side of things.

You suggest you still want a DoF after Ramsey? Unless I’m reading it wrong you want one appointed still?

There is 0 chance our ownership have any idea who she is

(I actually think she'd be good, though caveat with having next to no idea what a dof does!)

I'd put money on it being Chesterfield

There's been conversations, but I don't think the Fabregas situation helps.

He's linked with Inter isn't he?

We don't need a dinosaur.. Previously we have had really old heads or dross . Ramseys reign can be the antithesis of this.

He's more likely to want a Steven Mcphail type.

I'm looking forward to Ramsey.

Would that be SM or SMc?

A DoF would cushion the blow of appointing an inexperienced manager.

If we continue to operate player recruitment in the same way we have for the last 2.5 seasons, it's not going to make much difference whether we have a director of football, or not, nor even who the manager is.

The point is with a DoF and a good manager recruitment, amongst other things, will improve.

We need to get out of this division ASAP. I'd rather have had Warnock on a one year deal than an experiment.

The club has made it a point to go public on their recruitment process, headed up by Deboys. Personally I think it's been disastrous and if it's going to change then that's good news. If it is going to remain the same, then I cannot see any other manager getting this squad to play any differently.
