Wouldn't have too mate if people actually looked at the facts instead of just spouting stuff.

That was one of my shouts too. But I thought he spoke English but ETP says its to the contrary. He could have won the CL with Monaco had it not been for Mourinho.

Surely the new manager will be whoever the new Director of Football picks. Levy only abandoned the DOF set up to get Redknapp in. What's to say he wont bring it back if Redknapp goes?

Now that thought scares me massively. Levy wouldn't complicate things and go back to such a political way of working again surely?!

I really hope not
Levy is the DoF at the moment. He has Sherwood to deal with the youngsters and Broomfield is in charge of scouting. Buying and selling he takes care of himself, which could be why we pay a lot of money to agents. They can work for clubs just as much as they do players.

Im neither pro nor anti DOF.
Like any management structure it just depends on having the right faces in the right jobs, compatible people.
The only think worth considering here though is whether or not Levy WANTS to be as involved as he is, or if perhaps he would rather focus his energies on the business (or stadium?)

That's the issue here. Most clubs around the world have this setup, whether it involves someone with the DoF title or not. It's beginning to spread in England now as well. The manager should focus on the first team and you have other people to deal with other aspects of running the club.

Also Im not sure where you draw the line between roles.
Whats the difference between Levy as he is now, Comolli at Liverpool or Kenyon/Dein in their times at Chelsea/Arsenal?
The way I see it you need someone in charge of the team, someone looking at players, someone negotiating and someone giving overall direction (not necessarily each as a different person)
Basically every management structure has these, its just about how many people you have involved and quite where you draw the lines between roles
The key for me is not whether you define it as DOF or a more traditional structure, but whether or not you get the right people in the right roles

Levy abandoned the DoF because it was working, not to get Redknapp. Not to say if he thinks he's found the right people for the roles that he won't do it again, mind you.

Exactly. Comolli got his man, his man failed, it was last chance saloon - they all went together.
Nothing to suggest it wont be implemented again, just that at that point it had broken down and personell needed to change

The Mirror today suggested that Klinsmann could be one of the potential candidates for the Spurs job - would you be happy with that?
I havent seen much of the US team since he has gone in there - how have they done?
Does he have enough experience of the Premier League?
Obviously he was a 'hero' when he played but im thinking objectively.

Me? No.
Seems a bit crackpot in a lot of his ideas and as I understand it was more a PR man than football manager - with Loew and the likes being the real brains behind his Germany operation.

Yeah thats my feeling. i think he would need to get club management experience see how he does. I am intrigued tho cos I think he would be ok but id have lambert over klinsmann simply because Lambert has done much more in club football.

Didnt Klinsmann make a real hash of the Bayern Job as well?

There is a world of difference between Levy's role and Comolli's, less so with Kenyon and Dein. Levy is our chairman, he has responsibility for the whole club. His involvement in transfers is largely limited to money and negotiating contracts.
When we had a DoF they had their own budget and signed their own players. Despite some people taking Redknapp's quips about the signing of VdV at face value, is not what happens now.
