We seem to be trying to do the same as Wolves did with their association with Mendes, we seem to have also picked the wrong partner if this is to be believed. We are a club crying out for a Director of Football, someone who knows the game inside out, both in the UK and Europe. No idea who that person is but if its just someone who knows the English game then that would be fine, either way this is the move DC should make asap!! KM can run the business side, she can be the liaison with the EFL over budgets, embargo’s etc and DC can sit back and supply the money when he is able to.
I have no problem with clubs using these outside companies, having a scout network is expensive and almost impossible in this global age, but to give them full control rather than just one of a few sources makes no sense. DC is a football novice in every way, but he is a successful business man, he needs proper advisors around him, unfortunately he got the wrong ones and for me it would be interesting to know who advised him to hook up with Doyen this way, my guess would be it might have been Mandy when he left the club.
