I keep reading that the DoF might be a problem. It would be for managers who rely on agents. Keane has never had an agent. He very rarely had a good word to say about agents when he was here before. Why certain managers demand control over transfers is another story.

There is not a cat in hell's chance Keane wants to be driving to Shrewsbury and Gillingham on scouting missions every Tuesday.

Back in 2006 I very much doubt he was that hands on. The shear number of players who came in that first deadline day suggests there must have been many hands on deck. Keane would be providing a rubber stamp and little more.

I actually think a DoF model will suit him. As long as he has final say of who comes and goes from the first team.

That's precisely the way it's supposed to work. Right of veto.

Great post tbf
 
No one outside the club knows how our DoF system works!

It’s different from club to club and that can be cataclysmic differences to nuanced.

Any Head Coach will have to be walked through it to decide whether it’s for them.

Keane will be at his most flexible as he hasn’t been inundated with offers, at least ones that he has wanted.

He wants the Sunderland job, the devil must be in the details and I would imagine both sides have question marks over items. That’s normal. If middle ground can be found and maintained we are gonna have an interesting 6 months!

Announced before the game on Saturday is my hope.

I totally agree. The DoF model isn't defined over here. I do think there's this outdated view where 'The Manager' scouts and negotiates every contract.

If you look at it in historical terms. Clough and Taylor were a First Team Coach and a Head of Recruitment. The roles don't change. Just the language.
 
Just watched his BBC interview with Kilbane. He does mentions his regret at not being involved more with coaching (his choice) and that he wants to correct that in the future. Failed at Ipswich with transfers but overall very positive when speaking about SAFC. If he feels the timing is right and the stars are in alignment etc I think he'll take the job for sure. DOF wouldn't be a problem for him imo

This is the only way he come here. Any other way he won’t be here. Many think it’s a simple process, but it’s not. If the rigid process we have in please at the moment is adhered to he won’t come. We must change and give him what he wants.
