Are we still looking for one?
Warnock won't be here forever though, and then we are back to a non football person appointing the next manager
Who have you got in mind?
Let's get a few new players before a Director of Football.
I think Warnock is a brilliant man manager, able to get a team playing to more than the sum of their parts.
That isn't what the dof is there for though, you almost need the complete opposite of Warnock. Someone who is up to date with the latest developments in scouting and analytics, modern tactical approaches etc but can't manage a team themselves.
I've always thought Andre villas boas would be an excellent DOF, but clearly not for us.
Looks like Arsenal are losing Sven Mislintat, he'd probably make a good DofF but again somewhat higher up the food chain than us
I don't think he ultimately failed due to signings or tactical knowledge though, I just don't think he made a very inspiring leader. Similar story at Chelsea.
When he was a scout he was known as one of the best around, you can still find the occasional scout report from him online and they are pretty detailed.
If he does go, Leeds will go into meltdown. His sides play amazing football but not sure he's a long term option for anyone! He'd be great at a club like us though, we'd play class football, good players would want to come here and even if we burnt out, we'd just be midtable. Ah the dream.
