Absolutely.

I’m surprised Steve McClaren hasn’t been linked yet.

DoF: McClaren

Head Coach: Woodgate

Assistant: Steve Round

GK Coach: Leo

I actually feel Round is more suited to role of Assistant than Leo.

 

And if it was not for fact McClaren had such a strong history with the club i think he would be a great acquisition to the coaching team. His management has rightly been questioned over recent years but many people high up in game have always said he a top class coach. Tho i feel any new manager might be uneasy having McClaren around given his links and previous success with the club.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but my mate has recently gone to the Algarve and Schteve was on his flight, so hair island is not coming back to the Riverside ?

None of them are what you’d class as bargain buys/unearthed gems though. They’d have all been on decent wages and taken a decent wedge to buy. Hourihane was £5m. 

Could he identify the players out of league 1,2 and youth teams?

Hey, I think I may have left my netflix logged in, could you check for me?

Round would definately be DoF, no way would he come as assistant manager and can’t see us wanting him as head coach.

If we are appointing a director of football wouldn't it be a good idea if we let him pick the new manager? 

Or are we assuming the new director of football has chosen Woodgate?

Steer, Taylor, Adomah, Tuanzebe, Hourihane, Kodjia, Jedinak, Whelan, Elmohamedy . Not bad recruiting tbh for this seasons team. Not to mention Terry and Johnstone that he brought in. Brought in some really good players that didnt cut it at villa but went on to do really well when they left. Granted its not at Villa but he knows his stuff imo. 

I think Adomah went there before Round arrived same with Steer and Kodjia?  I have a different opinion on some of those players mate.  That's a lot of money on wages for one thing but someone like Jedinak didn't play much.  Terry didn't play this season and I'm not sure you'd need to know your stuff to sign someone of his calibre anyway?   Whelan isn't that good but he's just not a player I like to be fair although again I bet he's on decent money.  I certainly wouldn't criticise all of his signings but the core of that promoted team appear to be players he didn't sign - Abraham, Chester, Mings, Hutton, Grealish, El Ghazi, Nyland, Steer.  It just feels like he spent a lot of money with a questionable return to me.
