Highton has done a fine job and should remain where he is. FWIW I think that football manager will have nothing to do with Highto's role.

If Highto is doing a fine job that's great. I am sure Paul himself would like to think his role is justified on his ability and contribution rather than some kind of loyalty reward.

I believe this will be like the job Simms used to do.

Thought Simms was Director of Football.

I'm pretty certain it's a made up role that's been dreamt up to accommodate Moz. A posh name for a club ambassador who's going to also keep the players in check and mentor the younger players.
