nothing nice about gingerman i'm afraid . the abdication of all responsibility came all too easily to the man. Craven.

Wow, now we're being linked with John Craven ?!?

Proven countryside experience.

Anyone reckon we may get a DoF in now to implement a vision and give some continuity?

Indeed. He may play the dignified ex-employee now but the way in which he's tried to shift the blame in recent months was contemptible. Nothing nice about that at all.

Why appoint a DoF now and risk alienating potential managerial candidates who may not fancy working under such a structure?

To have some continuation at the club. Some DoF work well. eg at WBA, Reading etc

I am not saying it is a good idea, just that it maybe a consideration now.
