Not getting out of bed for the sort of money we'd be paying?

Please, God, no.

Nothing against the guy, as he's obviously been very successful and is a Newport boy, but I'd like to think we would have a more progressive brand of football in mind.

That being said, for most of the last 4/5 years that's the style we've used. It wouldn't surprise me.

Flynny will be the one deciding on the style we play, the SD will just be making the deals for players that Flynny wants to bring in.

Heard wellens booked into the celtic manor last night.

That’s not how it has been advertised.He will make recommendations on players who might be available and advise on contracts and who should get them.Flynny has the ultimate say but,the SD will not just be carrying out what Flynny says.We may as well advertise for a yesman dogsbody if that were the case.The Board have realised that Flynny has to cut down on the number of duffers he signs.

2. Player Identification The manager will have a plan for the development of the squad and targets that he sees as fulfilling their plans, however those plans are constantly in need of development and it is crucial that the Club identifies players that can fulfil those plans and add to the value of the squad. The individual will ensure that targets are
monitored and if they become unavailable that appropriate options are available for consideration by the manager.

So, yes, whilst the SD will be recommending players to Flynny, it is ultimately down to Flynny if he wants to sign them or not. If the SD starts bringing in players that Flynny, or even a new manager do not want then we could be looking at players not getting a look in anyway if they don't fancy the player(s) that the SD goes over their head to sign.

Anyhoo, glad we are seemingly awash with cash to be able to offer a 3 yr contract for a SD.

8 Ability to effectively manage budgets.

Flynn can recommend who he likes the SD has the budget. This position will curtail Flynns ability to waste money I hope

O'brien?

No, too close to Flynn to have any real influence also it needs the experience of some one who has developed sides in the past. Paul Tisdale has a good background in recognising talent in the main.

I expect one of the many experts on this message board will be a shoo in

Exiles second paragraph is more or less what I said.We will now have advice for Flynny instead of Flynny relying on what his agent tells him,which he admitted to when asked about our scouting policy.No more,Lazar or Marvel but players who can take us forward.Then phase two,get closer links with our own academy instead of unused loan players or,unsuitable loan players eating up wages.

We all would love OB to be involved but,not this job.This will be important to the development of the club and needs someone with a knowledge of players,tactics and a plan of what is needed.

How about Corky
