Director of Football

This topic was raised by Greg in his letter from Mexico recently. Of course it is all the trend in real football but how many times has it really worked at the higher levels of the Premiership? Go on then, give me an example.

In the world of N&R FL Alan Waters introduced Paul Kelleher to the league after his team was adrift at the bottom of the table. Muddy moved upstairs (to The Fenchurch Exchange if my memory serves me correctly) and installed a young Paul Kelleher as head coach. Paul performed a minor miracle and saved Muddy's Happy Hammers from disgrace and then got headhunted to run his own N&R FL side.

Then this week, fantasy stalwart Ian France announced that he too was stepping upstairs to become Director of Football of Keep the Faith and named Ben Guarino as footballing team manager. Ben takes over Keep the Faith with them sat 5th from bottom of the 55 teams, with just 158 points and two or the five worse weekly scores to his name.

Ben has already made 9 transfers in a speed with frankly won't see him last very long at AIG. I mean if he can knock a quote out that quick, he'll be down at the Korea Re in no time!

Welcome Ben, if you need Ready or I to talk to Francey about your financial package, just let us know.
