I personally think he does a decent job without being irreplaceable. If he goes I wont really shed any tears and I believe we can find someone equally as good.
From what I have been told there are some world class recruitment specialists in the lower leagues. They dont get the opportunity to show their talent because they all work for clubs that dont have the money to bring in half their suggestions.
I guess time will tell if that turned out to be the case if this rumour developes into fact

A big loss in my view and one of our own. So many great memories thanks to this guy and he has brought in some great players.

I think he will go and this is why the rumour never went away, he is also a big admirer of Ferguson. Great opportunity for Dougie.

Of course he can be replaced and hopefully a plan is under way as I am sure Glasner would expect no less.

Perhaps INEOS want to do things differently and stop wasting money on so-called stars who turn out to be barely average PL players.

They have no idea what he actually does, some still ramble on about him walking out, when manager, but it was his team that got us promoted with players he unearthed.
I think Parish will try very hard to keep him, he is obviously highly thought of.

Southampton hired an Austrian manager and lost their doF equivalent the following month; that went OK for a bit but it didn't end well ultimately.

It’s messy at United at the moment for sure.

But Radcliffe will be running the football side of the operation, so the Glazers will be less relevant going forward.

It’s a new beginning for them, and Ashworth coming in is a sign of their intent. I think you could view DF’s potential role as a huge opportunity rather than a poison chalice.

In any event, the point I was making is that DF is clearly more highly thought of by Radcliffe and co than he is by some on here.
