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... 😀 I would agree. DOF without the ultimate say in spending/recruitment but pointless having an advisory DOF if you don’t take his advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advice can be accepted and acted upon or it can be considered and rejected. If you are saying everything JJ advises has to be done then basically he is in charge. Then maybe JJ will need an advisor to help him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it’s not going to be a Levein type situation where JJ rules the roost and what he says is what happens, but he’s been asked to advise because of his experience and stature in the game and particularly with our club. If he advises that a player isn’t signed, I expect that advice to be followed. If he advises a player is a good fit, in conjunction with Robbie agreeing, I expect us to progress on that advice and try and sign the player.

Carl Fredrickson Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Great to have JJ back and nice statement by EC. More info on Hearts website https://www.heartsfc.co.uk/news/article/jj-an-offer-i-couldnt-refuse?fbclid=IwAR3Bwq2Hga50BWC-D0lSj0lQVVS7lg_su1z63UHsQ6TDvCA6oCSNMfieQ0o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paulo Sergio Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Nice to have a role for him but not entirely optimistic about him being involved with identifying players to sign. Can't be worse than Levein and John Murray so that's a huge positive. Welcome Home JJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think JJ is not the right man long term for the sporting director role, but as an advisor in the short term he is useful and wise descision to get him advising the board on football matters in the meantime Correct.

A Shoreditch Heart Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 that's such great news - even if he's just there for a part time / advisory role, it just really good to have his positive presence back at the club 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
