BIGGER clubs in England are dealing in transfers worth millions of pounds and there is a very definite job there for a Director of Football.
I don't think it is really needed at Rangers.
I know that Paul Murray pointed out last week that it is something the board are looking at as a potential way forward, but we are not a club, certainly not in the next six or seven years, that is going to be spending £2m or £3m on a player.
That is just not going to happen.
It is also my very definite belief that the manager has to have a say on which players are brought in.
He is the person who is going to get the sack if results aren't working out ... not the Director of Football.
I would certainly like to think that the Rangers manager, whoever that may be after the summer, will be bringing in players.
Yes, a Director of Football could go and watch any potential targets and make his own judgements on their suitability, but I would hate to see someone fill that role at Rangers at the minute.
Rangers have been speaking to a lot of people and have visited other clubs in Europe to look at structures and the way things work.
Perhaps they have been persuaded by those visits abroad.
I just don't see what worth a Director of Football would bring to the club at the moment, to be perfectly honest.
