Presume by him you mean Murrell - His job isn't to be taking the ball up, or even necessarily "doing all the running about". It's to control the game and control his players. I agree with the "cover tackling" which eludes to my comment about moving further infield.
I think Murrell will be more of a coach than a Director of Football. Very knowledgable when it comes to the game and how it should be played.
Then again, who's available to take on that position - who knows.
Here's a question for everyone - Would you rather see an oversea's player come to the club or a director of football be instated? I bet it would likely cost the same amount of ££££
