Bump. Here's the reason we haven't got one yet: http://www.arsenal.com/article.asp?...e=Wenger+-+My+delay+over+Director+of+Football
Maybe Real Madrid's Ramon Calderon is on that short list. Seems like another upstanding guy. I just read this direct quote from Calderon today... The man is a genius. Promise the world to get elected, then claim to not create any false expectations. Sounds like our man.
"I will only appoint a Director of Football if a truly super director comes along. Certainly it is always good to have the proper directors who can bring success to the club, but we have many fine directors here, and if I bring in a new one, then someone's responsibilities must be diminished. I have great faith in the spirit and character of our directors, and I would be reluctant to add someone that might inhibit the development of the young directors we have."
"I will only appoint a Director of Football if a truly super director comes along" Is very Wengerish, along the lines offf. "I will only sign a new player if a truly super world class player comes along"
