Technical Director means it’s supposed to be him spotting the talent and looking for gems not Bilic.

You don’t need a Technical Director to crunch numbers that’s what the accountants do like that t w a t Garlick used to do for us.

This is the problem with Albion,we try to do everything on the cheap and end up with people promoted or employed above their ability but on the right wage!

Dan Ashworth was a proper Technical Director.......he went out and found the likes of Odemwingie and Mulumbu.......he didn’t need Mowbray or other managers to give him a list.

Downing is no better than Garlick.

It’s embarrassing when you consider the recruitment at places like Brentford.
