It is quite simply, a waste of a salary that could potentially have went on the playing staff. I said at the time I felt it was a "job for the boy" scenario and what has not happened this window simply emphasises this. It's time to end the fiasco and get rid of Gus ASAP. Though I suspect he'll have been given a 25 year contract from his buddy. Imagine the compensation for a contract that length! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus's main role is to keep Gordon Scott aware of all matters relating to playing staff and the management team. He is effectively there to spy on the manager and keep Gordon in the loop. Any other roles are superfluous to this. Wee trips to Spain and wearing the tracksuit are part of his remit. Gordon would need accurate reports on how the training was going. The DOF/signing players is just a cover story for Gordon's Hatchet man. #conspiracytheoriesfrommytravels Jiings next you will be telling us he is GS' golf caddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has looked at the squad and will now know what he needs. Let’s see what the next couple of weeks brings before the knives are sharpened I think you have entirely missed the point. Nobody has any knives out for Jim Goodwin. The DoF position is supposed to be in place to help the manager, especially in the situation where he is only in the job 3 weeks and has competitive games. That clearly hasn't happened. If as many are saying we need the manager to make the decisions on the team and new players, then the DoF position is pretty much redundant.

buddies1877 Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 This has been repeated a couple of times here, but in modern football at most clubs "a say" is all they get. We absolutely should not be waiting for a new manager or head coach to be appointed before bringing players in. The squad should have been built regardless of whether it was going to be Oran or Jim in charge. Modern coaches are expected to be flexible enough to deal with the squad they have.The manager should always have a say I and don’t think a manager like jim would touch us if we didn’t let them decide what type of players they want in to build their squad.

Stu Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 There was a quote doing the rounds on Friday from Goodwin's BuddieVision interview that suggested he wasn't a huge fan of how this technical director stuff is working. When I asked on P&B someone kindly reproduced it for me, so here it is. On 20/07/2019 at 17:15, RossC93 said: "Gus has a list of players and they can be good ones but I have to want the players as well" is the exact quote. Followed it with "we're working from a list that I've given to them and we're doing what we can to get those in." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proudtobeabuddy Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 I listened to that and i don't blame him for saying it... all that confirms is he's not going to be a yes man who does what he's told, which is good. I think it's healthy for any relationship between Gus and Jim to work that he's up front and honest from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TPAFKATS Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Work has been an continues to be ongoing to bring players to the club. The thread was started on the assertion that Gus has failed in this transfer window.My point remains that we should judge the window once it shuts.Its worth noting that we have tried to sign players. For various reasons we haven't been successful. We have offered transfer fees. Who are we going to attract to this shambles of a club at this moment in time, we can’t hold on to any managers and sign duds that’s why we’re in the position we’re in.
