acrossthepond 877 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 No, I'm not done. I cannot think of another person on this earth who is less qualified, save maybe Dennis Wise, to be our "director of football." Anyone off the street would do better. A mackem would do better. We don't need a DOF anyway, they're a load of shit and our last one helped set off a chain of disasters that led to our relegation, and we especially don't need Joe Fucking Kinnear back at this club. Do they never learn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bictor 0 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) All he's talking about is "spotting the right player".....GRAHAM CARR. He's done the job. We don't need this fucking retread as a Football Director. This makes no sense. Edited June 16, 2013 by Bictor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17245 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Transfers haven't been the problem. Pardew and Carr have done well in that field given what they've had to work with. This'll go down well with Pardew and whoever eventually replaces him. Think about who's first in line if we're in the bottom 3 at Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay 10 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Had the apartment complex fire alarm go off 5 times last night and then eventually wake up to this? Fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Think about who's first in line if we're in the bottom 3 at Christmas Kinnear is going to get a second chance at being a caretaker manager isn't he?

The Fish 10856 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 He's saying he's there to identify squad weaknesses and find players to fill those gaps. I'd be fine with that if we had previously struggled with that side of football. But recruitment isn't an issue. Hasn't been since G.Carr joined. It's getting these talented players to perform together consistently. Mental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 If he gets more than a pack of space raiders a week it's far too much. Can we not take the money that is being sunk into this 3 year waste an add it to the transfer fund or player wage budget, seriously we could no doubt pay a good set of youth player wages with what we'll be paying this ball sack. Really can't understand how he can be any help with transfers the man has barely been involved with footy for years, and even when he was he's not exactly known for bring able to spot talent. As for the overseeing playing style I can't wait to see what we come up with for next year with that tactical master mind guiding us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I was saying earlier this week that even though we were awful last season there has been little chaos within the club for months according to usual Ashley standards. Then BAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 He said he'd have a role to play with regards to "playing style", so he'll have a say in the dressing room too I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Kinnear is blatantly in the same boat as Pardew, i.e he owes Ashley a boatload of gambling money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4378 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I see this as similar to my wish to see the jug eared cunt become king as soon as possible for the damage it will do the institution - this will hopefully speed Ashley's exit via relegation.

acrossthepond 877 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 And now he'll be Carr's boss, it sounds like? "Wuzzat Graham? Where'd you say he plays? Hungry? Nah mate, I've just 'ad me tea and one or two of those eels went down a bit queasy. The next Iniesta? Well fack it man, why don't we just buy the first Iniesta? Let me dash off a fax to Barcelona mate, Mike sez there's 2 million quid in the kitty, should cover it. Thanks for your input Graham old dad!"

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 A "Director of football" only serves to undermine a manager, to be fair his tactics can't be any worse than Pardew's last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) This is the sort of stupid move that got Blackburn relegated. I can see us following. We're both clubs run by people who don't have a clue how to run a football club, aren't football people, and don't care about the city or the fans.

Bictor 0 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) It's not that we now have a "Director of Football". Essentially all that role is going to be doing overseeing the football side of things and taking that responsibility away from Llambias. That's probably a good thing, considering Llambias knows nothing about football. The problem is giving the job to Joe Kinnear. He's a fucking idiot and if he has top say over transfer targets, where does that leave Graham Carr? If we were going to make anyone "director of football" it should've been Carr. He's the genius behind all of our transfers over the last few seasons...We should be giving him more responsibility, not stopping him from doing the thing he's best at. Before Graham Carr would've gone to Llambias with his thoughts, now he has to go through a retard that thinks he knows everything...

Not with British managers it doesn't. To be fair with someone as weak willed and compliant as Pardew they have a chance.

TOONLONDON 0 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 The 66-year-old has told Sky Sports News that his main job will be to oversee the style of football (is this not Pardew`s role) that the club will be playing and he will deal mainly with player recruitment (Is that not Carr`s role) and transfers...?
