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

Maybe any manager coming in have/will buy into the DOF concept. Heard today could be a Comoli/Poyet combo..

Anyway maybe there finalising the "takeover" and the billions we will have to spend :-)

Couldn't agree more Paulie.  Would like to think that they have already sounded out a new manager and he is OK with the idea.

I had him down as a Bensons man

I would hope they've already approached their chosen manager, got his confirmation and discussed the structure with him.

I have been told Villa could have a Director of Football in the next few days

McLeish has been promoted!

How about the great GT?

Perhaps the DoF has been given the mandate to source and employ the new Manager. Faulkner sticks to Commercial and if it is a train wreck Randy is then hands off and blameless.

Don't like DoF framework. Has it worked in UK?

Although wasn't he D of F at Chelsea or something?

How about Sven, and Nancy in place of Grant. She a qualified Lawyer and is fully conversant with dealing with the media.
Sven brought some good players to Man City.

Hang on Im delirious with happiness!!
