A DoF (a) sets philosophy & identifies players & (b) negotiates deals in/out. At #MUFC, OGS is admirably doing (a), while Matt Judge is diligently doing (b), & has a much better record at getting deals done than many believe. Any DoF would encounter the same problem of Utd tax...
& sell-on restraints in the current climate. While a DoF cud also tamper with the philosophy/culture that Ole is building, that I firmly believe is the right one. If #MUFC find the PERFECT fit, then restructure, otherwise the responsibilities are filled, & it‘s a matter of time..
Majority of deals since 2016 are not overpriced for a club like #MUFC, & are only getting better, while they’ve also secured key targets, so the purchase negotiating has been a relative success. Problem has been identifying the right kind of recruits, something OGS is now fixing.
