Murtough is an internal promotion, he used to chief scout IIRCWho’s Murtough? Is he now in charge of overseeing all recruitment? A proper DOF?
Well Matt Judge is now Director of Football Negotiations and he will be reporting to Murtough, so presumably yes?Who’s Murtough? Is he now in charge of overseeing all recruitment? A proper DOF?

Murtough is very experienced and has been dealing with club transfers for a long time now......United have appointed football directors? Looking outside now to see if hell froze over!
Don’t know what to think of the appointments, they are obviously not the experienced names we wanted but will give them the chance and hope they know what they’re doing.
I blame the Athletic.John Murtaugh, not Richard Murtaugh.
Not recruitment that's Murtough's roleWhat is fletchers role?
*Frantically googles John Murtough*
*Underwhelming disappointment floods the body*
Seems like he's done the job in truth since 2014. And he's clearly done a decent job - our recruitment record is much better. So hopefully it will continue in that vein.Too early to say if its a good or a bad thing. It certainly is anti-climatic given the clamour for a world class director of football![]()
So we shouldn't expect any improvementsMurtough is very experienced and has been dealing with club transfers for a long time now......
That’s good to hear and am excited to see what Darren can do too. Strange that he has jumped from coach to this so shortly, don’t know if he will do both.Murtough is very experienced and has been dealing with club transfers for a long time now......
Saw this line in an article I read. That’s good enough for me. Apparently Murtough scouted Mejbri.The new roles mean Woodward's involvement in transfers will be reduced
This forum man. Even when we get what we want we aren't happy.First we have the position created and the next step is to bin this guy off for someone better. This is great progress people.
Am i in a bad dream or something? The guy was doing podcasts at the start of the season and he's now being given a role that we've been asking to transform the club. Do woodward and the glazers even take this club seriously?Fletcher as technical director?
Looks the same to meThe cynic in me can't helpt but think there's something in Woodward appointing a football director, as opposed to a director of football.
For me personally I wouldn't even give him a wage as its obvious to everyone he's just a placeholder.This forum man. Even when we get what we want we aren't happy.
The guys been around since 2014 and we want "someone better" aka, someone we've heard of.
Lord give me strength
Don't think so but seen the 'Old Boys Club' line.Has anyone said “yes men” yet?
