Dr Gloom 19735 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 so sporting director and technical director - what's the difference? and should we be happy that he's been given the former rather than the latter title? i'm sure fish will be able to fill us in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19735 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Just now, Howay said: “Ashworth will be responsible for the club's overarching sporting strategy, football development and recruitment at all age levels, and will work closely with head coach Eddie Howe, academy manager Steve Harper and head of recruitment Steve Nickson.” So I think Sporting Director is more that side of things, whereas Technical Director is more infrastructure of the club, like facilities etc. Bit of a guess going off that statement mind. so not responsible for rebuilding SJP or moving to a new stadium, working on the academy site etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19735 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 perhaps amanda and crew want to be in charge of that side of things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19735 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 or it's stuff for a new CEO, assuming they appoint one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d be more involved with recruitment, policy, staffing with others in charge of planning and building stadium/training ground improvements. I assume he’d have input into what they need at the training ground though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6287 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 My assumption is he'll have have overall responsibility for the following areas: Men's First Team Women's First Team Academy Scouting Transfers Loan Management Aspects such as Facilities, Commercial Management, etc. I imagine will fall under an MD role.

Especially given that side of things requires a lot of work too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially given that side of things requires a lot of work too yeah, it sounds like quite a lot for one role. though he was technical rather than sporting director at brighton. either way, got to be better than lee charnley stealing a living in whatever his role was supposed to be. i think the nearest we ever got to a sporting director under ashley was joe kinnear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
