Really? because I don't think much changes. They're still sh*t, but now we can say specifically what they are sh*t at. Winstanley is the reason why we end up with players on long and high contracts when they aren't anywhere near good enough. Stewart is the reason why we over spend on them. Shields......my god, must be the worst scout ever. Jewell, same as Shields. Fallows, ah yes, the data guy, what a fine job that data has done for us. Background checks too, shame he didn't spot how unlikeable a lot of our players are before we signed them.

Two directors for "medical" (two guys bossing the physios around, buying sponges and deciding who is fit?), do they even have any relevant medical training? A director for style of play, seriously, in combination with budget planning and medical? That mix makes total sense 🙄, why focus on just one thing. And what the f**k is "planning the first team squad" and "squad identification" on top of scouting done by three directors? My goodness, this is inventing jobs for the boys on an elite level.

As i understand it from posters on this forum Matt Law is a Blue Co. supporter /sympathiser so his comments will be as gentle / kind in their favour which makes the Job activities ( I was gonna say Key Objectives but...) even more grotesque. He will likely be trying to big them up something rotten.

I wonder who is responsible and accountable for taking the identified target ( by Shields ) and actually approving them prior to delivering them ( by Winstanley )

This is surely where at least one axe must fall.

If everything Shields finds gets fast tracked through to completion by Winstanley without any checks and balances, then crikey if that were to happen we would end up with 7 wingers and 6 central defenders who are surplus ....

Who are we to question this superior first team squad planning...?

This does give good clarity. Rather then my scattergun approach of despising these oafs Stewart immediately jumps to top of the Useless C**t list, as he appears to be the root of the things that pisses me off the most. The slow pointless play andthe medically driven team selections

That brief smacks of Shields and Jewell being positioned as the initial scapegoats for our likely lower half PL position and missing out on the Champions League ... W&S both exonerated from identifying transfer targets ...

Good point. Garnacho’s signing was always narrated as a push from Winstanley.

If no one is sacked by now no one ever will.

Truly pathetic in every sense.

That’s what buying ready made players does to you.

Yeah but they can’t resell them and get profit. Thats more important than trophies obviously.

That was our 20th defeat of the season today ... so well done the Directors of Football. How's that 100 point team/squad of yours coming along ?

Suckers this lot .. think of the Semenyo and Guehi both January buys.. the cheats in FA handed the chests the truly along with these fools…

Dementia, Guehi and Cherki all could have been in Chelsea blue.

f**king clowns from top to bottom.

If all 5 of these sporting directors are here match day one I give Alonso 8-15 months.

That much?

These fcks and BLUECO are like cancer - they will ruin this club- we are the next Leeds . I don’t think we will he anywhere near the top anytime soon.. we are toast.

Get them gone and take the sh*tty Kinetic links with you. Absolute scumbag chancers that bluffed their way into the club when it was at it's lowest.

While I know many on here have asked for all the directors, bar Dave Fallows, to be sacked, am left scratching my head as to what they actually offer for BlueCo not only to keep them employeed, but also give them huge raises. Does anyone know what they actually do?

Because the Morgan Rogers deal once more points out they are not trusted to deliver the big deals.

I mean was it not widely reported that Winstanley and Stewart tried, and failed, to deliver Enzo so Eghbali personally stepped in at the 11th hour to make that happen?

Did not the exact same thing happen with Caicedo and Liverpool almost gazumping us?

Now it is reported Eghbali, with Alonsos help, stepped in and, in the space of just 24 hours, turned Rogers from Arsenal, who were in the middle of both discussing a 100mill deal with villa and personal terms/role with Rogers, and in that short spell Eghbali got the deal done with Villa and Alonso/Palmer got Rogers to say yes to us.

So it sounds like our 2 main directors were not involved at all, completely sidelined, not trusted to get the job done.

So what do they offer then if they are not even trusted for the important things? Why do they still have jobs? Have we taken away transfers from their job discriptions?

On the other director, Joe Shields, seems like he is the most trusted doesn't it? All these ex city players and his connect mates in jobs by hanging his hat on the success of Cole Palmer. Has he done anything, other than Palmer, but decimate our coaching staff with none football people and provide failed signings like Delap and Lavia?
