It was a pleasure to be invited to contribute to a recent Hawksbee and Jacobs show on talkSPORT regarding our research and applied support for Sporting Directors. Here are some reflections on the challenges we face to successfully implement the role and support the sustainability of football clubs in relation to investor and owner engagement: - Investors and owners should avoid taking advice from those with conflicting interests and agendas  - We should provide investors and owners with insights on the nuances of the role as every club is unique and in a continuous state of change - This should include the importance of specific hierarchical/organisational structure considerations, including how this impacts decision-making, resource allocation and power - Information on the intricacies of the talent pool of Sporting Directors is important to understand when making recruitment decisions - Including how to rigorously understand who is a successful Sporting Director based on what they need at any one point - Recruitment should utilise genuine insights to understand who and how people have been successful, alongside who has the potential to take the role There is a significant talent pool of sporting directors with the skills, experiences, capabilities and potential to deliver at an executive level as a Sporting Director in elite professional football. Many of these are members of the Association of Sporting Directors.
