Why is there an obsession with employing a Director of Football?

I agree, I always thought it was a way of running down a contract of a manager that had been at a club for a while and they wanted to get rid of him without creating too much fuss. He would then be given a desk in the far corner until no-one noticed he was still around and quietly binned. Or are people confusing Director of Football with Assistant Manager? |

Let's face it none of us have a clue.
DC and the Board included.
Absolutely. And the Chron and the Trust |

Sounds like he was tapped up. Could we get a fine / transfer ban for this? As there are precedents for handing down either of these as a punishment in such circumstances. A fine would be terrible, a transfer embargo would be catastrophic.

It depends. Does being asked a general question about whether you'd fancy 'the job', by someone you used to work with, and who isn't employed by the club, constitute a tapping up? I'd say not, personally. |

Intriguing!! Who do you think asked him then? The other side of the coin would be if someone high up in the club actually rang him or spoke to him face to face offering him the job with a salary of xx on a x year contract. That certainly would constitute an illegal approach. At the end of the day it's down to the Newport board now. They may decide to report NTFC, they may not, that's even if it was an illegal approach! |

I've just read the piece in the South Wales Argus who believe that the only contact was from a person with links to, but not employed by NTFC, and who used to be a teammate of Justin's.
So in that case....nothing illegal!
Does however beg the question, we have approached someone officially...but whom?!

Embarrassing.
Feel for AK, vote of no confidence.
Shame on the club if true, smacks of being underhand
And would appear we are no further forward.
Whose decision was it to terminate KA's contract and who is the replacement before Saturday.
Lots of questions and no answers DC?

It WAS an ex-spurs teammate  |

If you look at the write up in the South Wales Argus it gets a bit vague on facts, then it appears as you say an ex Playing Colleague "approached him"(JE) - under what circumstances though, chance meeting, phone call or Pub? I have a feeling that big Dave might be rubbing his hands in anticipation of ................. Not sure of JE's part in all this - why didn't he report to his BoD first rather than break it to local media. Best to let BoD deal with the situation first. Is he in it for other reasons? |
