D.O.F.

Don't know if he'd be any good, but has experience, contacts and probably a level head to guide a young Manager.

A DOF isn't supposed to guide a manager, they are usually heading recruitment and ensuring that the academy is functioning. The best DOFs have barely any managerial or playing experience.

To play devil's advocate, I'm not sure we need to be so locked into what a DoF does at other clubs. Where do we need help? Under Warnock that was clearly in transfer market but not so under Harris. We can play with the DoF role to suit what we need while still under basic premise of looking after future of the club.

Yeah I fully agree. If we went down the route of an unexperienced manager in the summer then I'd hope he has an experienced number 2 to help rather than having the former manager overlooking everything he does.

I still think recruitment is an issue, while Harris made some decent signings we still lack options in midfield and consistent wingers (I also can't believe we went half a season with Bacuna as our 2nd choice right back). Ideally a DoF would handle that side of things so we have a consistent approach every transfer window
