Our performances wouldn’t improve that fast. And if Fergie doesn’t get the right players then he will struggle to win leagues in a league where you need 90+ points to win. So the DOF in that sense would be judged if we kept signing dudsOh I agree with all of that. However that's not my point. Let's say that a 50 year old SAF returned to football as our manager. Surely our performances would improve. Does that mean that Murtough and co would suddenly become great in their jobs? Of course not! The DOF is judged on different metrics to those of a manager. Managers are mostly judged on success on the pitch vis a vis the resources handled at his disposal (for example you can't expect Brighton's manager to win the local treble). DOFs on the other hand are judged on various metrices I've mentioned above
Edit: Not only that if we keep overspending on signings he’ll be judged there too
