We are one of the few clubs without a director of football.

We have a committee.

So who carries the can?

Kinnear as CEO ?
The person who is head of “player trading” ?
The technical director ?
The person who is head of scouting and recruitment. ?
Moyes ?

Who actually speaks to the player and agent and sells him the club and its ambition (ok we will gloss over that), makes them feel wanted and they are going to be part of something.

This was probably something Kenwright was good at even if the player came away thinking “who is this Dave Hickson bloke he keeps going on about”.

The cliche “success has many fathers but failure is a bastard “ seems to apply to the current clowns.
