Ed002, I remember when Mourinho was sacked you said that in your opinion Blanc would be the best fit for the club to get them back to the top.
I'm just wondering if you are of the same opinion now, or if your views have shifted in light of what Old has achieved so far?
Do you still think the club needs someone of experience such as Blanc?
Cheers.
{Ed002's Note - Yes I think someone with more experience would be better.}

I feel we must build a foundation with Ole and a new DoF.
Buying smartly in the market is the next important step.

weve gone down the experience route and its failed. ole deserves the job but phelan carrick and mckenna all needs to stay aswell.
a question for ed.
is the DOF position looking to be sorted by the summer?
thanks.
{Ed002's Note - it will be sorted out when the find the right person if Woodward will let it.}

I agree that long term the club could do with and experienced hand as there will be a lot of off field turbulence when/ if the club ever appoint a DoF.
However, I feel atm if the club appoint anyone other than Ole then it could undo all the good work he has done up until now.
Maybe now the best course of action is to give Ole a three year deal at the end of the season and let him bring back more of the club's identity while a suitable candidate can be found for the DoF role which long term is the far more important position to get right.

I agree Shappy. Give him a 3 year deal. By now he's identified who needs to depart and the sort of player we need to be bringing in. A DoF could slow things down at the moment as he'd need to get up to speed.
Regards a DoF I think we need someone who understands the clubs ethos especially regards style of play and commitment to young players.
