Mentioned as director of football not yhat long ago,if Riza goes do you think Tan would give it to him maybe till en£ of season.
Our squad seems to have better attacking players than defending ones.

Personally, I'd say no.
We need a fighter who will kick the players up the arse. IMO DJ isn't that man...in any capacity!

I hope with stick with Riza. But I’d happily welcome him back. Probably not the manager he was but would love him to get the chance to finish off his work and rebuild exciting attacking football that has deteriorated since the the appointment of Malky. (Tans second biggest mistake)

Thinking I’m dreaming of the old days though.

A lot of Jones success was because of Terry Burton the coach but they worked well together and the football was great to watch :old: :bluescarf:

Well, I know it’s not the same, but those who saw him in a recent ‘Evening with’ event, will tell you he still has a grip on the football scene and knows our club, too!

Can’t see it though!

Would have been a good choice to be the experienced head that Riza needed when he was appointed :clap:

How far back in old managers do we want to go for jobs? We need to be looking to the future not backwards, unfortunately how that is going to work out only VT knows :bluebird:

Dof tend to be older ex managers or players .... how many were calling fo NW to be dof? Really depends on what capacity you want a dof to be some encompass whole of playing side contracts ect others just playing side.... Jones playing style was exciting if nothing else bit to late in season for that kind of game? we need a more pragmatic approach
