    Dan Ashworth at Brighton has done an amazing job.

    I get the impression that they already know who they want to appoint but have to advertise it out legally.

    I'd like us to retain the CEO position, for me the CEO should be looking at revenues, the commercial side of things, sponsorship deals and how to financially drive the club forwards whilst and working alongside the board to ensure the club is profitable, sustainable.

    A director of football should sit in the middle working to a budget closely with the coaching team, doing the deals, looking at data and driving us forwards on the pitch.

    I get there's an additional cost but 1 additional wage for a director of football someone who's football background alongside a CEO with good leadership and financial knowledge will pay is due 10 fold, we have to stop being so short termism and look at the wider landscape at time.

    Yep .. way overdue for me. Don't like anyone to lose there job. But our recruitment as been scattergun at best for years and woeful this last window. I wouldn't tear up the Cryne spreadsheet totally.. it does have its place, but shouldn't be used as some kind of Bible...
    A wise old sick like a Barry Fry Mick Hartford type would be ideal for me..

    Yes, despite an extremely modest "career" in professional football of 17 appearances for Eastbourne Town.

    How about a director of traffic? Might help the car parking situation.

    seriously though, you can’t have the person in charge of the first team as a head coach and not have a director of football really. Whether you agree or not, it’s either a football manager who decides everything or a coach and director of football, so you have continuity when the coach changes.

    You may well be right. I guess I assume that for roles at a certain level, there would be some internal/industry-level pool that they need to advertise this to, not just an open invite on the Club website. Maybe this is what every Club has to do? Genuinely don't know. Just reads weird to me.

    I’d guess that they may do both? I don’t know what the rules are though but in schools there’s certain places jobs must be advertised and for a certain length of time (in theory…).

    I’m guessing the agency they have advertised it with is doing the actual advertising/head hunting for the role, and if it wasn’t for the Horsham debacle I’m not sure it would have been in the public domain before we were ready to make an appointment. I think the club are keen to see this as a reaction to off the pitch football matters. It also gives the owners a buffer if they want to ditch Collins at any point.

    Rather not, too old school both of them.
    They should stay in the golden glow of history for me.
    I wouldn’t object to Dane back in a DoF role though.

    I’d give the role of this to Robert Zuk and have him & DoF working together but reporting separately to Nareev.

    A DoF will still have to work with the spreadsheet.
    Also but unfair to call it woeful as until the ones recruited develop it’s still unknown.
    Yes the players recruited are not as good as one left but they never are.
    The club failed when it allowed so many in the defence to leave at once, if only Mads had left and some of these that came in, we wouldn’t be saying it failed.

    I liked Dane but got the impression he was more of an administrator than a football guy. Might be wrong.

    Opinions eh, I thought he was more a football guy and his CEO side was lacking.
