Ferdinand sacked....

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

What kinda salary was Les on? Can we afford to/ Do we need to replace him?

£400k region...

Whoever / If we ever get one in they won't be on half of that amount.

[Acton Stations]

Now that he's no longer DOF, do you think he might be interested in playing up front for us next season?

Halelujah

please dont be another DOF but if there has to be one lets hope that they bring in MW who was born for the role in my opinion

Warbs would probably see himself as above our level and knowing our budget may not find it interesting.

I do think he would benefit us in this role, though I don't see him and GA working out.

Though we need one, i can see no DOF being appointed for a while.

we do need to make a swift appointment imo, gives us clarity in terms of what we need this summer.

Warbs wasnt a fan of those coming through the youth set up and pressure to play them cost him his job.

If MB is appointed its premiership loans and GA is toast.

If Gallen then GA may survive with pickings from the lower leagues.

This needs sorting ASAP before decent talent moves to other clubs. We do not need 4-6 weeks of p1$$1ng about or we'll be relegated. Sort out what we want and sort it pronto!

I thank Les for trying, he did.

The club need a DOF because the board don't have what it takes to build this club into what it could be, the money yes, the direction no, proven.

It will be interesting to see where this takes Hoos.

Not a fan of any of the names being touted, other than Warbs. I would give hil another shake of the stick, i think GA will need him, or someone like him.

We could find out that Les was either the one holding us back, or the one keeping us together.

Let's see!

We get up to the premiership via the play offs ,the same season we employ Ferdinand,who brings in Ramsey and all his mates over the years.One notable asset in Eze ,the rest we all know,Him and his team have taken us backwards,and ok I understand the FFP bit but not anyone really come through in 8 years.The rest need to be sacked too.

I think the DOF role will be retained as there’s speculation around Steve Gallen, Kenny Jackett, Luke Dowling and Warbs in the press.

[Kingaustin]

This is a fair point. I think it makes sense nowadays to take responsibility for negotiating transfers and devising players' contracts and remuneration away from managers but I'm sure Hoos could take all that on and let GA concentrate solely on training and playing matters.

Remember phil beard doing this for us in the premiership someone with no experience of doing this and handing out massive contracts.
rather the chairmen do this .. like levy etc

what was les role ? I know the title was DOF
but what does that involve
