I was very surprised at Nolito coming in. Not that he isn't a decent player but he always seemed a bit limited given the way Pep plays the game but no doubt Pep was either the one after him or at least backing the decision.
can't always be 100% right but I just dont have the total doom and gloom opinions of others, please forgive me.
Director of football is in charge of player buys. You can't put shit buys on someone else. And he has been here years and made series of terrible buys on terrible prices.
The buys aren't solely on him though, he has to work hand in hand with the manager and scouts, so they all share responsibility.
I'm guessing NQDP hasn't watched the Kaldoon end of season interview in which he clearly states that transfer decisions on players are an on going process that involves... The current manager, kiddo, marwood, cheeky, soriano, himself and the sheikh himself.
Bravo decision perhaps was rash given the above due to Harts attitude once pep arrived?
Even given the "think tank" listed above that is working year round, we're never going to be the only team wanting to sign X,Y or Z, kind of like if you've ever been in the process of buying or selling a house there are shit load of reasons a transaction falls through.
A lad in the office today was due to exchange/complete in the coming day's, the buyer had done everything including top line survey and pulled out this afternoon because they decided it was too far from their grown up children!!!! Six months down the line!!
This whole hanging it on cheeky is total bollox imo, it's a collective decision and if Kaldoon and the sheikh thought he was doing a shit job, do you think he'd still be here????
