Jesus, if we replace Broughton with Gestede that is a new low even for these guys.

I have been wrong before and will be wrong again but just what i have heard.  would explain why he has been around the club for so long recently

[chaddyrovers]

What experience has Gestede in the director of football? What scouting knowledge has he got? Or dealing with players, clubs and agents? 

 

[islander200]

Be ridiculous if it is Gestede.

Why would a prospective DOF have to shadow people at the club?

[Forever Blue]

I thought Rudy was following Waggott round as he wanted to get into the admin/director/CEO side of football. 
 

I’d be amazed if he was Our new DoF.

I suppose it's only fitting to have a fake DOF to match the fake CEO we already have.

This is the thing isn't it, things like this don't happen outside of Blackburn Rovers.

Waggott and the Venky's don't care about quality or inexperience, they care that he'll be cheap - we'd essentially be giving him work experience, in the 2nd highest division in the English football pyramid.

I would think he is willing to comply with all Waggott's wishes - another 'yes man'.

As you say, only at Rovers!

[B16Rover]

Have they misheard someone saying Gestede was great at heading upfront at Blackburn Rovers, as Gestede was great at heading up a front at Blackburn Rovers?

🎶🎵Rudy Gestede, Rudy Gestede, we wanted Txiki Begiristain, we got him instead 🎶🎵

It had crossed my mind they might do this, but I didn’t think we'd be that crazy. 
 

Seems I was wrong!

Wikipaedia shows nothing apart from his playing career.

Classic Rovers that this still isn't announced days after it became public knowledge

Maybe it’s the old - “ Run it up the flagpole and see who salutes it “ routine ?

He’s only 35, perhaps we’ll be the first to try the player-director of football model 🧐🤨

Is that you saying you’d be unhappy with this appointment, Chaddy?

I’m generally not bothered about my posts getting likes, but am gutted no-one likes my new chant.

I didn’t know who Txiki Begiristain was either, but googled “Manchester City Director of Football” 🙂
