Hi Ed1, What’s your feeling on Andy O’Boyle as a Dof for United? And does Ed02 think it could happen?

{Ed001's Note - it seems an odd choice, as that role normally involves overseeing the scouting department and I don't know of any experience he has in that area. He was a fitness coach, now performance director, so specialised in improving players. It leaves a very important branch of the club in desperate need of a rebuild put into the hands of a man who has no relatable experiences to call upon. He could turn out to be an untapped genius in that area, but it is a big risk. The appointment is going to need the right back up from new recruitment specialists that could work with little input from above.

However, he is meant to be good at his role, though not sure how he can be judged on the little actual impact his current job allows him to have. He did OK as a fitness coach, but there was a clear improvement after he left Liverpool, so I am dubious it must be said. But this role is more admin than hands on work, so perhaps that is more suited to his skillset.}

I thought Murtough was the DOF. Is he being replaced or this new role a deputy for the DOF?
