Jordan Rhodes =Loans Manager

[Ness]

I’ve heard this is a fairly standard role in many clubs, and it makes sense when it comes to the academy and developing our talents. Hopefully, he’s good at what he does. But hiring someone for this kind of position isn’t exactly newsworthy. When have you ever seen headlines about us appointing someone like Michael Cribley as Head of Academy Recruitment? This feels more like the club trying to spin a story out of bringing back an old hero to a backoffice role to cover up losing your captain and our leader in defence. But this it is not us signing the attacker Rhodes, it's the coach.

Again, hopefully, a good appointment, but for it to be in the news is just crazy.
