Is this a role that is commonly found at football clubs? I've never come across this before.

I wonder how the people who have lost their job recently feel about this ?

Created a new role for Rhodes probably because he knows the odious Gestede.

TBF I think its fairly common. I believe at some point Johnson had the remit of Loans Manager under his technical stuff

I think it started when premier league teams like Chelsea and City would have full teams of people out on loan, for us it seems more of a made up jobs for the boys / appease the fans role

Was it Udinese who famously had something close to 100 players out on loan one year

Most clubs have this role.  Last season Stuart Jones did it.  Rhodes is the ideal choice for the role.  As a young lad at Ipswich, he had a number of loans to other clubs as he was developing as a professional footballer.  He knows the problems youngsters would have going to other clubs on loan because he's been there and done it himself.  He's also had loans at the end of his career so knows the problems it can cause late in your career.  Thus he has the experience for the role and he has a knowledge of Blackburn Rovers.  For me this is an excellent appointment in so many ways.

Like Rudy was, Parson?
