Brian McDermott

[Zazu62]

Not heard a peep from him for a while, is this normal for a director of football? I would like to hear an update about what the plan going forward is, from the guy that’s meant to be in control of the footballing side of things

How many DOFs update on plans going forward ? He is identifying players to improve the team and is helping other players find clubs

What exactly do you want him to say ?

Maybe tell us what he is having for Burns Night? If he even likes haggis? What shoe size he is?

[Viva_Palmeiras]

At this time of year are we better with a DoF that takes actions or talks a good game?

Surely we need him tk be getting his head down and pulling out all the stops.
When the window slams shut will be a point of initial reflection.

he speaks well seems geniune, knowledgeable and seems the club has got under his skin. But time will tell.

[Unseen work]

I always find it odd how when we go through a tricky spell people want to hear from the DOF etc.

I’d much rather they’re in the background and do their work without getting any media attention.

That Cormack at Aberdeen is cringey beyond belief

Have to admit, it’s a dealbreaker for me as well.

DOF's should be unseen and unheard imo. No need .

1. Lasagna
2. Hates it but like most with that opinion has never actually tried it.
3. Size 10 on the left foot and 9 on the right, he’s a well respected member of an odd shoe wearers Facebook group and has a longstanding reciprocal arrangement with a guy called Keith from Idaho who is a 10 on the right and 9 on the left for shoe trades.

Hope this helps

[Jack]

We'll hear nothing but muzak until the big deals done.

[hibsbollah]

Id be quite happy for him to front a fly on the wall documentary about how Hearts stole all the poppy money.

Until then, i’m also fine if he sticks to his 9/5 job.

Cormack is the chairman and investor at the Sheep not their DoF.

Unseen Work did say DOF “Etc” which means in my opinion he is aware of Cormack’s title at Aberdeen

[Baader]

He's the DoF. Not the owner, chairman or CEO. So he shouldn't be saying anything right now.

Monty was McDermott’s appointment.

[Dmas]

Anyone know if his role is affected with the Foley investment? read on the investor thread that there’s a rumour of foley being in control of football operations, I think this may be on the back of what’s going on at Man Utd rather than any facts but it did get me thinking he’s not been seen or heard much

Did McDermott also appoint LJ and Maloney or was that BK? Genuine question as not sure what falls within remit of DOF these days

Obviously not, as he wasn't here.

Monty was McDermott’s appointment.

Wasn't it a panel appointment between McDermott, Kensell and Gordon?

When in role, Nick reports to Brian (as we know) but such a major appointment is never the sole responsibility of one board member.

Traditionally it is the job of the DoF to find the manager. They'll likely go through an interview process with the board but it's ultimately up to DoF.

This is why i think Monty's not gone already. This is McDermott's first appointment and it's on him if it fails so i'd imagine he'll be insisting he gets as long as he can.

Ian Gordon and Ben went to Dubai to meet Monty not DoF. Ian makes the big decisions not DoF. Also, press coverage it’s Ian that is quoted . DoF involved in the process.

Brian came in Post LJ.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Why don’t we just get a big bus and throw everyone under it?

Is this really where some folks have got to with Hibs?

So do we have zero redeeming features?

We’ve just recruited 3 players isn’t it?
Some a matter of hours before a game against the gers we’ve struggled with - along with others.

let’s not turn our club into a post Fergie Aberdeen.
