"a reputation for possession-based attacking football".

Yay

Every time a read one of these sentences when we appointment someone, makes me cry on the inside and out.

So Williams is basically unsackable at this point. Both the current chairman and our new DOF have hired Luke Williams as manager and seem to think the sun shines out of his jacksie.

I wouldn't be so sure.

The write up for this fella on the main site makes it sound like Notts County's success is purely down to him.

I noticed that too. Just the one cursory mention about them working together. Almost reads that the plan is without Luke rather than with.

it's understood he won't have the level of responsibility entrusted to his predecessor when it comes to transfers, he's expected to be at the heart of efforts to improve the club's approach to player recruitment.

So why do we appoint him to the DoF role and not a head scout or analytics? Are we stuck with Coleman handling everything still?

Felt like they shoehorned Williams in for the sake of it

The same angle was done with Paul Watson and the Luton success.

I believe he'll oversee the football side of things and Coleman will take a step back from what he currently doing today and concentrate on being the chairman.

This isn't going to end well

The WalesOnline article says he'll be at the heart of improving recruitment. Remains to be seen, but that seemed like a limited scope to me

Heart of improving recruitment seems like someone who is going to pretty involved in shaping our transfers strategy.

The write up on the main site is very complementary about his work at Notts County.

Notts County's success?

Notts County's success?

Going from non league after 4 years in that division to sitting second in league two is pretty successful.
