100% no to this.
I do not want the CEO to be dictating which positions to replaced or add to. He is the man whose job it is to ensure that the manager gets who and want he needs.

How much time does he spend with his horses, Marksay or was it just a cheap jibe based on his Twitter page.

Isn't Sharpe the ceo now and not director of football?

So basically the Radfords tell him what he can spend, he works with the recruitment and management team to land their targets.

Clough mentioned that he looks for value for money. Some players could have priced themselves out of a move if he feels they aren't worth what they are asking.

Oh come on - you said you were going to be positive a week ago.
So are you saying our CEO is, absent without leave?

This is like reading the transcript of two men shouting at pigeons in the park.

So are you two saying he is spending too much time concentrating on his horses, is absent without leave and that it is his job to tell the manager of the club which position to replace?

I would love to hear you argue those points cogently with evidence, because they smell a bit like what comes out of the rear end of a bull

if you want to criticise the recruitment, then just to clarify, the selection of players is down to:
the manager (Nigel Clough)
the head of recruitment (Simon Clough)
assistant and head coach (Gary Crosby and Andy Garner)
analyst (Matt Ash)

David Sharpe doesn't select players to recruit. He organises the contracts for players that the above people want to sign, within the budget, negotiating with the agent as necessary, on behalf of John and Carolyn, as CEO.

Clough said offer him a defender or a striker and he will take the striker.

It's the manager's call on whether signings are made. In the deadline day video Sharpe calls Clough and asks what they should do. If Sharpe was in charge of everything why would he call Clough?

Sharpe is there to make sure we stay in budget, that's all.

The only reason we miss out on targets is that we haven’t thrown enough money at them.

The wider debate is that well run clubs now seem to take recruitment out of the managers hands to some degree. They have recruitment staff and a DOF or sporting director who oversees it, so that the strategy and long term aims are not chopped and change every time a new manager comes in, leading to overhauls on the squad every 18 months.

that we do however without decent players in we go nowhere……..maybe with a good manager & quality signings we might having a winning combination, however basement bargains don’t seem to be working out to well at the moment do they ?

They were for the first three games and then we had four bad games.
I would say that the bargain basement players in the midfield and up front appear to be good signings and will be fine when they settle in. The two keepers seem like great signings.
Johnson, Hawkins and Stirk have already won me over, Oates still needs some time and we know the issues at the back.

It's not sustainable though, the spending levels we had during Evans and Flitcroft and even Dempster could not keep happening with no success.

I believe we've got a good manager now compared to the last two. Just need some time and patience to be challenging.

i think most agree in young Cloughie we have a good potential long term manager, however the defender signings have been poor to date & that’s what he is being judged against at the moment

So we need someone who dictates the long term aims of the club, that i feel is the owner, who chooses a manager to achieve the objectives set out.
If we overall the squad every 18 months, then the system is failing,
We have a C-E-O who controls the budget for the financial year, and a manager who makes it work to improve the squad.
And a owner who makes the final decision.
Unless we have a distinct failure in our development, then as a unit we move forward.
Head Coach is another word for scapegoat, someone who fails for other peoples mistakes, and 18 months is normally his life span.
locally Derby and Forest are good examples spending millions to fail, both had Head Coaches, while others controlled transfers and spending

A superb point yesterday
Now we have KG and STIRK injured for two or three weeks , possibly Maris and now another red card three game suspension

When I started this thread it wasn’t as dire as the squad looks now

Isn't it fantastic that we have such strength in depth that we are kit playing undern18s on the bench like Lincoln had to a few weeks ago? All of our bench are young but they are first team squad members.

One of the first things Sharpe did was get the stadium cleaned up. I do think he has pride in our club. He and NC work well together. Regarding signings Naylor it is said he would have been our highest paid player. So the club did every thing to get his signature. Not anyone's fault at the club that he didn't sign. I think we are lucky to have Sharpe.
