I would say if David Weir wants the role, then he has just had a big increase in his chances of getting it. Need to seriously up what we offered him if we want Weir.

Jim will work closely with Ann during the transfer window, which has now opened, to help make the changes to the squad that Robbie feels are needed." I'd say thats the DOF role... 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 4 minutes ago, Captain Scarlett said: Advisor to the board of directors.What does that even mean. Confused. Essentially he's our temporary sporting director. Means he can oversee things that Budge might not feel comfortable doing and lend a hand to Robbie without the full responsibilities of a full time sporting director. Probably the perfect role for all parties. Even if an SD is appointed, I'd still like to see JJ kept on the board in a similar capacity.

Should actually strengthen the links between the two clubs. He's actually left Edinburgh City now. http://www.edinburghcityfc.com/2020/07/15/club-statement-7/ Edinburgh City FC Confirms Jim Jefferies’ Departure The Club can today confirm that Sporting Director Jim Jefferies has left his role in order to return to Heart of Midlothian. The board would like to place on record its thanks to Jim for all the hard work, experience and enthusiasm he has brought to the Club since joining in February 2017. Having such a well-known and popular figure in Scottish Football involved in and representing Edinburgh City has helped to elevate the Club’s presence since joining the SPFL and his knowledge of the game has been invaluable over the last four years. Chairman Jim Brown was keen to pay tribute to Jim for his contribution to the Club . “I would like to thank Jim for being a major part of the Club and helping us develop and transition from the Lowland League to becoming an established SPFL side, challenging at the top of League 2. Jim’s experience really has been second to none and he will always be a major part of the Club’s story.” “While there is of course sadness to see Jim depart, even when I persuaded him to get involved with the Club in 2017, I thought that we only ever had him on loan from Hearts, as my feeling was that he would be needed there at some point in the future.” Everyone at the Club wishes Jim the best of luck in his new role at Hearts; he will always be a welcome guest at Ainslie Park in the future. #OurECFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
