I'm a bit confused about this DOF thing I'm not having a moan at board just hoping someone can clear it up a lil bit
This is the 1st time we are doing this DOF thing so would it be wise to have a older experienced manager to spend a few years with the club to help us ease into it work out any bugs and such
And since we are getting a DOF do we need a manager or is it a experienced coach just as an example ferguson said he isn't experienced enough for the job which I agree with but if he's only going to be doing coaching and that wouldn't the DOF cover most the other sides of the club

Yes their primary role would be taking training sessions and picking teams setting tactics etc but there is a little more to it than that, they still need man mangement skills the DOF is going to be more involved in transfer negotiations setting up pre season camps managing the scouting network

no its not the first time we have used a DoF

Ah sorry didn't know we had used one before

Gordon Smith was our DoF for just over 6 months when McCoist was manager. Left soon after we went into administration.

I think When we got MacLeish in 2002 i'm sure advacatt moved up to be are dof then

That's good then so at least it's not a completely alien thing for the club to be going into that's all I was worried about really, looking. Forward to see what happens with it not expecting any miracles just hope we can stabilise abit keep us out of the news headlines for a couple of weeks

Rangers have had a director of football before. Advocaat done it for a few months.
