I used to want one but don't anymore. Seen what's happened at other clubs and often it does more damage than good.

My view is that we should have one .Bbms forte is coaching and bringing players on .Let him just do that and let Dof concentrate on all the other things.

Hard to tell if his role is a football one or an administrative one. They list all the analysis and administration staff on one page.
