Oh, I am not in the know, but I have befriended a guy, who gets some info.

Respect for that!

Crowbarring an unqualified ex-player into a DOF role would be absolutely peak Gibson as it'd help him retain ultimate control, yet give the illusion of an autonomous DOF.

If we're aiming for a DOF then we need to go completely external and run a proper recruitment process and allow them to operate without Gibson's meddling: that would attract the highest possible quality candidates. There'll be quite a few DOF's, assistant DOF's, head of recruitment etc at the high performing clubs like Brentford, Norwich that would jump at the chance to lead a rejuvenation of a good sized Championship club like us.

One option that stands out is Norwich's head of recruitment Kieran Scott, who we were linked with just last month, but I'd suspect that he'd want a similar level of full control to what his boss Stuart Webber has at Norwich, which will surely be too much for Gibson. Maybe that's why we're seemingly going down this "old face" route as they'll be far more open to accepting Gibson's continuing influence? The candidates who are willing to tolerate Gibson's meddling aren't going to be of a particularly high standard. The best candidates, like Kieran Scott at Norwich, will know that full control is the most effective way to operate, so won't accept it and will happily wait for the right opportunity.

My sauce told me, that the mystery person is a former player in the 30's 40's bracket ... 

He wouldn't and couldn't answer if it was a foreigner or not ..  (which lead me to think he IS foreign) 

Deep respect to my sauce, that he couldn't be persuaded to telling any useful hints .. I like that .. There are enough blabbermouths 

Foreign to us, our foreign to you? 😉

Very true. It just feels like as we've been here many times before, we know what direction it's heading...

Well it's obviously woodgate, didn't get the recognition he deserved for taking the job as a fall guy as the club restructured. In the right age bracket. And now has more experience after his last job, he will come back as 1st team coach with Warnock moving upstairs to director of football 😂

Where’s RAF when you need him? Gave us all a boost of positivity last night and then since Fulham jumped ahead of us there hasn’t been much else reported. I need some positivity! 😅
