Dougie is unlikely to come back until March 2027 at the earliest. He’s a canny Scot and under Saudi laws he has to stay two years or his pay is subject to taxation. By then, hopefully, Spurs, ManU etc will have forgotten about him.

Firstly - just an opinion - ( I dont know anything)

If your a senior exec, in a prominent position - Sporting Director / Director of football ( whatever the title is that week) Well liked by the chairman, largely doing a good job, some good hits, a few duds but nothing that dosent happen to any other clubs, overall well respected in the club & the industry - a new manager comes in who openly credits you with good work ethic & good achievements - a manager with a record of not staying more than 2 years in any location - maybe there is a disagreement on individual players / direction / strategy etc who really knows, maybe there wasn't - in any event, if there was going to be a power struggle (which again remains as largely tittle tattle) DF would very likely still be in a position long after OG had gone

Does that really sound like a reason to up sticks & try life in KSA ?

Yes, Glasner will not work with a Director of Football. He thinks he's that himself. Dougie would not sanction players like Kamada. No way. Have a think about that. And you also have offers - well off you go.
