I’ve had quite a few threads on him over the years, taken a lot of stick about it so I won’t go over old ground.
He wasn’t up to the job, he has an incredibly high opinion of himself and rubbed people up the wrong way. Let’s leave it at that and take this as a positive move for the club.
Utterly bizarre timely - the eve of a big game? What the F is going on??
It's not just transfers he was in charge of. He made Frank McParland look like a complete fraud and that's just from the perspective of the scouting set up at the clubDo we really need to replace him?
Wasted wage IMHO.
Mark Allen had a very mixed record with us. Some truly bizarre signings along the way, he played a big part in getting Gerrard but it was the club that appealed to the Gaffer, not Mark Allen.
Van Der Sar is CEO of Ajax, he said he not interested in being Man Utd DOFI thought they were appointing Van Der Sar.
Looks like we still have a leak then.
ANNOUNCE *INSERT MATE OF STEVIE G HERE* AS REPLACEMENT
What does she know about scouting football players?#AnnounceDempster
There were rumours of Leanne Dempster being on the way to us a few weeks back. I wonder if this is actually another one we dismissed as nonsense being true.
Looks amicable enough if we're believing it all.
Do we get a replacement then or will we see a return to the more standard UK arrangement?
I wouldn't be happy if we just bjn the DoF having championed it so much.

That didn't ring true to me either, all a bit PR.Family reasons & to explore other options?
Nah its one or the other for me, he's wanted to leave and is trying the old family reasons excuse.
The ‘more standard’ method at bigger UK clubs these days is to have a DoF or Technical Director as they are sometimes called.
We have to replace. Be stupid not to IMHO. Too much for Gerrard to take on.
A director of football is far from a waste of a wage. People who say this don’t understand football clubs.Do we really need to replace him?
Wasted wage IMHO.
Mark Allen had a very mixed record with us. Some truly bizarre signings along the way, he played a big part in getting Gerrard but it was the club that appealed to the Gaffer, not Mark Allen.
Amen to that.All the vague nudge nudge wink wink posts are embarrassing. Either say what you think or say nothing.

Kiss ma hairy fat butLevein would be a good shout
What you been hearing mate?Now the message I got makes sense. Ha ha twisted rhats
You can only say he done a good job if the players he scouted won medals tbh

Just a rabid messaging me saying the rats are starting to jump from a sinking ship, gerrard will be next and we won’t see the end of the seasonWhat you been hearing mate?
Maybe. Or he might be joining a club in an area that suits his family situation better.
