So, the club are soon to appoint a 'Performance Director', rather than a, "traditional Director of Cricket". From what's said, I don't know what the difference will be?!

Mr Cain says: " We want the person to focus on high performance outputs and to get the best out of our players. We’ve not moved away from our principles but we want someone who understands the changing face of modern cricket, the increasing influence of the franchise game, and the mindset of contemporary players."
And of course none of that would apply to a Director of Cricket - or would it?

Exactly. My reading of the PD job description, is that it could well be the same as that for a DoC. I would think the term Performance Director allows us to recruit a (non-Cricket based) 'Sporting Director' - perhaps from football or rugby - whereas a DoC would come from a cricket background.
