No, word is Beale wont work under a DoF who has involvement in transfers etc. DoF we are looking for will only look after youth operations (don't we have people in doing that already - Zeb Jacobs?) and the woman's team (a nice venture but ultimately very few supporters actually care about that). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not heard much, from what I recall. I think it would be an act of extreme negligence and incompetence if they didn't - even if it's not the type of appointment I'd want. Every elite side in world football has one. I'm getting worried... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenny3k 660 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Unless its written into his contract that no DoF would oversee transfers etc, then unfortunately for Beale, its tough, nobody is more important, or bigger, than the club and its future. Get somebody in who specialises in recruitment and transfers and let Beale focus on his speciality, coaching 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's enough reason on its own to sack him. A good DoF is essential to prevent the sort of colossal recruitment failure we've just witnessed. It sounds like Beale is running on pure ego. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
