In a way I feel sorry for him. Great intentions but failed by his appointed staff. They are not helping his ticker. He needs a clear out and get back to basics. I think the biggest problem this year was they failed in their pursuit of first picks and were left with 3rd and 4th choices. In other words, the ones who weren't in high demand. The dregs, the sawdust the can't believe their feckin luck kind. Oocha fucker…..it’s worse than I thought. Link to comment

I think when burrows came in Gunn role changed to director of football operations. The impression warnock has given is he spoke to Cormack and burrows. You are right though. In a normal structure it would be Gunn. Link to comment
mainstandmoan Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Ongoing shambles. So there is an external 'specialist' brought in to evaluate all aspects of the footballing side of the club. Its been suggested that the consultants will look over all the daaataaaaaa and perhaps even come up with the right man for the managers job? Software Dave strikes again. Why do you have a board? Why do you have senior management? Once again proven, these puppets do nothing but salute and nod. Gunn, Burrows, Garner,, Milne.......not a voice to be heard. If this external review was done properly, they should all get their jotters for having to get external consultants involved in the first place. Yet again, I expect a complete left field random appointment from Software Dave and his daaaataaaaa. AFC are in big trouble, with no change in fortune in sight with this present structure. 6 Link to comment

The concerning thing is Dave isn't all about the data like he claims to be, happy to ignore it when it suits, also Burrows was against a couple of big decisions but was overruled, wouldn't be surprised if he left on his own accord. 1 2 Link to comment

Isn’t it a distinct possibility that this review suggests just that - that the “FMB” needs a complete clear out? If so, it’s a good thing, although it shouldn’t need an external specialist to point out that the current personnel aren’t working. No self respecting club would have morons like Milne, Garner & Gunn involved in the decision making process 19 minutes ago, minijc said: The concerning thing is Dave isn't all about the data like he claims to be, happy to ignore it when it suits, also Burrows was against a couple of big decisions but was overruled, wouldn't be surprised if he left on his own accord.

Vaguely remember him bumming up Robson after he got the job & saying something along the lines of they couldn’t not give him the job, but suppose that’s just towing the party line. Link to comment

If so, it’s a good thing It all depends on the scope and terms of reference of the review we have commissioned. The club have paid for it so they will be determining what is within and outside scope. Consultants will then focus on that. They won't stray into anything they aren't getting paid for. 1 Link to comment

Johnnyred1 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Sometimes an organisation can have too many managers. NHS primary example. Just get the basics right. A manager who can inspire and fear at the same time. Who shows passion on the sidelines kicking every ball. Let them decide who they require and show faith in their tactics to get results.

sooth_stander Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Michael Grant reckons the planned detailed review of the football operation should be presented to the board in the next 2 or 3 weeks, and that the company hired to provide this report, will have a major role in the new manager recruitment process. Maybe Dave will delay deployment of said report till we find out which league we will be in next season Link to comment
