Is it possible that why we are waiting for the name of the new manager because Tan will not only appoint a new manager BUT ALSO a Director of football as well?

No I just think it’s Tan being Tan looking for the cheapest option possible. I’ll be stunned if he gets a DOF in .

Definitely NO.
A cheap option, yes man, manager and Tan will continue in the DOF role

Nothing will change at the top of the club, no direction , no leadership and no success whilst we continue to be rudderless.

Maybe not a dof but dalman hinted that new manager will have a proper backroom team not the likes of purse... this is something only warnock had which hints at proper coach maybe this is why taking time we live in hope.

I don't see a point of a DOF while Tan is here,
he's too stubborn to take any advice from anyone who has any football knowledge
it's just another person for Tan to ignore

Dof is not the panesear some think it is? Far better to have good coach with assistants to match +the backing of owner cheaper and one less person to go through...

Tan is the DoF......
His vision is for a young progressive manager to run the footballing day to day as well as being the head coach.
The only concession may be the manager can pick his team, but that will need to be within budget constraints.
Tan knows of the structure, his Belgian club has it. So in my opinion, Tan is the DoF.

He couldn't direct traffic in a one way street!

It would be interesting to know how his two clubs are being run differently when he has installed a DoF at one, yet refuses to do similar at the other?
Whether one is actually needed is another question, as they don’t always work and I feel that the right manager making the right decisions would suffice; and there in lies the problem

Allan, this is the only solution I end up with.
He has little interest in Belgium but wants to run Cardiff through the manager and CEO
