    I reckon it’s our new member Shaun.

    WTF is a director of football? What does the actual role entail? Or very confusing for an old man like myself.

    As much as I want Giraldi fired, purely because he is a cancer to this club, if this appointment means him sadly staying, but feckin off away from first team affairs, then that’s a plus.

    Oh Jesus . Another Pozo choice so no doubt he’ll be corrupt and out for him selves . Not what the club needs !

    Well let's be honest he is the owner so I'd imagine Pozzo has the last say.

    Now seems he’d be replacing Eric Roy, according to The Athletic.

    He knows someone who can smuggle a few Serie A youngsters in to the back of a van on the sly?

    SFA. And that does not stand for Scottish FA. He and Floppo are two enormous wastes of space at the club along with some of the players. They need to be moved sharpish.

    We need to get someone independent in to run the club . Not the usual toxic shiseters

    No, what counts is being Italian.

    We've got Moog to do that. The rest of us needn't bother.

    68 yellows and 7 straight reds in 301 Serie A games. Also scored 119 goals in that time too. Could also take a set piece. Maybe he can teach our lot of no hopers.

    Anyway, seems like a bit of a nutter. Exactly what this club and team needs. Im all for it.

    Goodness me you’re still here.

    Most trolls have given up by now, but you’re really determined to see it through.

    Wish our backline was as committed as you, we would have stayed up and we wouldn’t be playing your lot in the dumpster you call a ground.

    Christ, Holebas has been gone for just a couple of days and we've already got the next Sh*thouse off the rank.

    Oh, turns out he's replacing Eric Roy and not Giraldi.

    Our problems existed before Eric Roy so my excitement was a false dawn.

    Theoretically, it's the guy involved in transfers and contracts

    Maybe he's being employed to knock-out our managers before they get the chance to knock-out our defenders?

    Or perhaps his role will be to knock-out our defenders on our managers' behalf so our managers can go back to being fired for footballing reasons?

    I wonder if Eric Roy was fired because he might have been in charge of the Pape Gueye debacle?

    Every Google definition of the role states that a Sporting a Director convinces players to sign for the club. So it’s possible.

    Perhaps. We still need Giraldi to back well away from match day affairs though!

    Sky Italia reporting Lucarelli will be the new Ternana coach and NOT be joining Watford.

    Classic.

    Cristiano Lucarelli seems to be a controversial character who sometimes brought his political beliefs onto the pitch. He is reported to be an admirer of Che Guevara and an open supporter of communism. I can think of one poster on this forum who might have been pleased by his appointment, but I think that the club may have dodged a bullet if he has been appointed as the new Ternana coach.

    Cristiano Giaretta makes much more sense as a possible candidate in view of the fact he has already been a Sporting Director at Udinese (2013-16) and he appears to have just finished his contract as Sporting Director at CSKA Sofia.

    It’s not Lucarelli. It’s Giaretta, ex-Udinese.

    Understand after earlier link with Cristiano Lucarelli the club’s new Sporting Director is in fact set to be Cristiano Giaretta, ex-Udinese.

    Could be interesting, the guy who discovered Bruno Fernandes (brought him in at his first Italian club, and then took him to Udinese when he went there)
