 Just nice to have Dougie back at the Club in my opinion!

I can't really get my head around this one. Irrespective of what the SD's name is it's the role that I am questioning..... We currently have a Manager,Head of Recruitment plus Teflon Phil and a full coaching staff. So what exactly would the Sporting Director actually do?

I bear no grudge and glad to see him back. Got a great eye for a player and could well be a premier league manager come February. NOT for us I hope.

Really,you must know what a Sporting Director does? He's the one who organises the junior penalty kicks at half time at SP.

 For those who don't want him back it is fair to say he made a big mistake when he left and I am sure if he had his time I again he would not have gone.

In football we have roles of 'Director of football', 'Technical Director', 'Sporting Director' etc etc - I suppose their 'Terms of reference' vary from club to club with a DOF at one club performing a similar role to a 'TD' at another club.Really don't know what Freedman's role will be.

 I don't really care about the manner of his departure, and I do think we needed this or a similar role to help with transfers. I do wonder what exactly qualifies Dougie, but let's hope it's a good move. Nothing to lose for us, really.
