Being linked with our director of football role in overnight papers.
Good or bad?

Far too opinionated for me and would happily stick the knife in the back of SD. Also wasnt he one of the trio from Rangers who reported Joey Barton to the FA regards betting. Wouldnt want someone like that in the camp

Not what we knead.

Doughn't think he's a fit for us.

Is he in-bread?

However you slice it, the club need to use their loaf on this one

he won't mess with dyche, he'd be toast.

I think he'll be the best thing since.... Frank McPartland probably

anyone else think Sean Dyche would make a great Director of Football, which allows him to bring through his....... replacement, and the ship sails on?

Damning with faint praise has a new definition, jeez

what is Warburton's track record in recruitment? I do hope this is a bad joke

Worked at Brentford who are regarded as one of the best clubs at recruitment with a limited budget in the championship. A yes from me

Harrods don't recruit the buyer from Aldi

It’s Not like we’re the harrods of the Premier League. As we don’t spend it’s the best way to go

Yes but is the chairman and a friend of his who has some type of moneyball software on footballers that do the recruitment. Not the managers

We can do better but do need to sort this weekly along with U18 and U23 coaches

Perhaps we might be be looking for a more "continental " Director of Football.

Seem to remember one of the reasons he got the bullet from Brentford was because they wanted someone just to coach leaving recruitment to others

They seem to have done more than ok since he left and he hasn't

What's BelgianClaret doing these days?

Well I did mention him last week

Not quite - they wanted a totally different approach. He'd been the director of football there but was then given the manager's job when Rosler left. From then on he was just doing the coaching at Brentford, McParland was the recruitment guy.

Busy, very busy my friend

However, they may call me if they wish

Mark Warburton is his Mother's Pride and joy.

This would feel a half-baked appointment for sure....

oh crumbs!

He's got to earn a crust somehow

Seriously though, this would be like being invited round for bangers and mash, and being served smash and richmond sausages

Actually, that is how it usually works. The buyer from Aldi has shown to be excellent at their job at that particular level and look to further their career....do you think they recruit them from the Harrods College for Buyers?

On a shortlist of 8 according to Nixon.

It's our one chance to get someone in with knowledge of the European markets and we look like bringing in the managers mate.

You clearly don’t know too much about the work he’s done then or of the advertised job spec

It's in the baguette.

what about the ''silver Dyche'' when he gets sacked from MU ?

You personally recommended him?

Sureley there would be a "stepping stone" move to Waitrose?

Why would a fan know the advertised job spec?

I only know of Warburtons failings at Forest and Rangers, especially the Joey Barton affair.

but here's a bit from his wiki page.
Following an unsuccessful application to become Brentford manager,[5][21] Warburton moved into the role of Sporting director in the summer of 2011, a new position created by an internal restructuring of the club.[21][22] His role included dealing with agents, club finances and contracts, in addition to scouting young players and recommending them to the management.[23] Warburton's links with the academy at Watford saw Brentford sign a number of players with Hornets connections, including loanees Dale Bennett,[24] Adam Thompson,[25] Rob Kiernan,[26] Piero Mingoia,[27] Lee Hodson and permanent transfers Harry Forrester and Jack Bonham.[28][29][30] Warburton stated that the much-maligned Sporting Director/director of football position can work in English football, saying though he "would row every other day" with manager Uwe Rösler, the pair never fell out and Rösler had the final say on team selection and signings.[31]

In December 2012, Warburton held talks with Premier League side West Bromwich Albion about filling the Sporting Director position,[32] but Baggies chairman Jeremy Peace decided to look elsewhere.[33] Warburton oversaw Brentford being awarded Category Two academy status in July 2013 and the opening of a new purpose-built facility on the grounds of Uxbridge High School four months later.[22] In December 2013, Warburton was succeeded in his Sporting Director position by former Liverpool academy chief Frank McParland,[34] whom he had heard of through former Liverpool and current Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers.[31]

Probably because the buyer from Aldi doesn't want a pay cut (if the data on Glassdoor is to be believed)

Maybe he'd fit in the next panini album

ClaretTony wrote:You clearly don’t know too much about the work he’s done then or of the advertised job spec

I don’t know much about him apart from his managerial positions. Tony can you enlighten us about what makes Mark suitable for the job?

As long as it's someone who can broaden Dyche's mind when it comes to transfer targets I don't care if it's his best mate or not.

can someone explain what this job would entail ?

It's a good job he won't be coming in as manager.

Not Ivan Hornik please!

Why employ a head hunting recruitment company to then just go and employ a mate. Not really transparent of the club

Presume they’ll legally have to advertise any position?

Arsene Wenger is available.

Arsene Wenger is a great shout

A great shout if you live in cloud cuckoo land!
