"At Fleetwood, he was able to appoint former teammates and close friends Clint Hill, Andy Mangan and Eddy Jennings on his staff"
Looks like he was DOF or would he be in charge of "football operations" like Tisdale's mate Mel Gwinnett was?

Has it even been confirmed that he has joined us?
UTG!

Not so sure he has officially joined. Thought he was helping out on an advisory basis by analysing matches.

Bristol Post article just said he's just helping JB out, I assume a similar type of scenario to Joe Davey with GC, although not sure what a DoF can actually do to help out on a voluntary basis? You sense Jennings is JB's right hand man and, if we stay up, will be our DoF next season. TW's job must be under a real threat from Jennings?

Joey Bartons Minder and expert court witness. At Rangers he was described as Joey's agent, at Fleetwood DOF.  |

Any appointment of a Director of Football type role should be a club decision and someone to act in the longterm best interests of the club and to enable a bit of continuity. There is an obvious candidate that as a club we should be doing everything in our power to entice and that man is Gary Penrice.

Publicly said he would never work for the club. He has become a stranger to us |

If you have people filling unofficial roles it starts to look like a 'mates' club and undermines those appointed and paid to carry-out the role. It will all be fine until one of them is upset by something then it will be the 4 or 5 of the JB boys against the club. It's unhealthy in my view. The owner and CEO have the duty to put the structure in place not JB. I agree with you that we should look to Penrice as DoF or head of recruitment and be firm with JB about who appoints staff at the club. JB should clearly have a say about his coaching staff and player recruitment but the club need to be careful about allowing the creation of an alternative structure within the club as it will 'end in tears' - 'mark my words' as my old gran used to say. |

Very true. Club appoints officers like CEO or DOF, shouldn’t be managers mates. And let’s face it with JB there’s likely to be a difference of opinion at some point with the accompanying blow up. The club need to be very clear that TW is DOF at the moment and then recruit another one when it sees the need to do so. UTG! |

Club officials can all be jobs for the lads for all I care so long as the club is put over a barrel and there is a long term strategy to it, and most importantly, that the club overachieves as a result.

He's been open to doing something in the recent past. |

If they were independently appointing a DoF/HoR why on earth should they be told be a couple of posters on Gaschat to appoint Penrice, particularly given Widdrington already has that role, it seems it's OK for them to appoint somebody independently just as long as it's Penrice? |
