Bit of advice and scouting isn't it?

it would however take some pressure off the manager and coaches as we'd have another whipping boy to target for perceived failure.
The board would still be vilified for the appointment of "Joe Bloggs" when "Fred Fox" was available.
I'd be interested to see how many D o F's there are in the football league and National league.
As for Flynn. - Seems to be more involved this season but don't know how much time he spends here. Maybe someone in the know could enlighten us.

Most successful clubs would beg to differ. Would you run an electrical company with no one who had any expertise in electrics?

If we had any spare money should we spend it on:
Ground improvements?
Establishing a C of E?
An experienced Manager?
A full time Assistant Manager?
Decent training facilties?
Appropriate facilites for our disabled supporters?
The first team?
Set up a reserve team?
Etc etc

But I am sure you get my drift

You have just listed 6 things a DoF could advise on!!!! Hells teeth.

I would hope that BH and BF would be making suggestions and requests to the board and discussing strategy. Otherwise they would be failing in their job.
On a daily basis both have a direct line to SH as their line manager for football matters should anything arise.

Managers do not give the club continuity

I have been privately messaged to inform me of this. As mentioned I stand by the board and Spencer who works tirelessly for the club but this role needs an expert.

We cannot afford and don't need a director of football we could just put the advert for a new manager on here and RP would tell the board who to get.. Let's face it we couldn't do worse than them.

The last person who brought this to the board got booed by half the room. If you're going to bring this matter to the board you're going to need thick skin.

Absolute nob heads. Probably the same brown nose nodding dogs that defend everything and preach to others who have the audacity to criticise.
