The role of being an assistant to phelan overseeing the scouting department? Not being a dribbling £#%&!wit.

Neither he nor phelan would be doing anythinb to do with finance or negotiating. Why do they need those skills?

You’re right pal, maybe Fletch is really good at all of the above and it’s just been kept quiet up until now. I looking forward to you giving him the time he needs to implement his vision.

Right, presumably experience with any number of the issues we have struggled with (transfer fees, wages, identifying players that fit a style of play and have a good character) is desirable, has Fletcher got any of the above?

Who the £#%&! is suggesting fletcher as dof? Jesus Christ.

No-one, I’ve just re-read the article, stand down!

I’ve not got a problem with the likes of Fletcher coming in as part of a clubre structure tbh. It’s something that should happened when Fergie retired imo

Mentioned on here a while back how Barca and many European clubs have ex players as part of the structure above the managers along with El Woodwards and it’s something we should look at.

Fletch seems an intelligent bloke and has come through the ranks at united, could be a good move from the club.

He didn't have the experience when Barsa took him on.

The knowledge of football's indisputable.

when we don't have any leadership material in the dressing room, it would be nice to have a few gods saying "that kind of shit doesn't cut it round here, blossom".

Hearing he’s shit his pants at the prospect and passed it sideways to Ji Sung Park

I’m hearing Allan has got the call. Ed’s interviewing him in his burger van before the Chelsea game. What he lacks in experience he makes up for in attitude and sliced gherkins.

I’ve had enough of Fergie hiring his Chrohnies
