If it is true we are after Lee Smith maybe we are looking at Mullaney at SH.
As far as Having a go at Robbie someone may put me right but I am fairly certain he is there purely as marketting director and has no say in team matters. The club does actually do very well with sponsorship and I would think he is easily paying for himself in a very important job.
I don't think Ferres and Robbies job could easily be integrated into one. For me it is Ferres who could feel unsafe as I think a good head coach and assistant should be in charge of all recruitment with the help of the chap (forgotten name) who runs the junior set up.
Ferres is probably there though more as a right hand man / adviser to Mr Green as Green is inexperienced.
If Ferres and Robbie wasn't there Green would have to depend on Jimmy and his calm and emotionless reasoning. How many people think that is the best solution.
Whatever happens in the background it all comes down to the basics of choosing the right group of players and coaching them properly. If that happens we could have Coco the clown working in the office.
