That is his role.

 

Well--not scouting directly - he's got scouts for that - but he is in charge of recruitment. 

He doesn't go out and watch players and say aye he'll do. He's a negotiator. But yes he is overall responsible for recruitment, and moving players on.

He has scouts, as I said, but the DoF is very much involved with scouting.

 

He is also a negotiator, but that is a simplistic description of his role.

What does he do with scouting?

He sets the player profile, identifies the players types, the targets, he's in charge of the scouts... etc. 

 

Look up Begiristain and Monchi - two of the best DoFs around. They are very much responsible for the players that come into the club. The manager should have very little to do with it - he'll have an input, certainly, but it's the DoF that is ultimately responsible for player recruitment.

Yes he is in charge of the scouts. But he doesn't scout. My original point was he doesn't go out at watch players. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

 

Yes the DoF should be responsible for players coming in but that doesn't mean he has a big say in the specific individuals we turnover. Wilsons biggest job this summer in recruitment is to find a replacement for Andy Scoulding imo.

You can speculate forever but it looks like we will be starting with the same squad that failed last season,  looks like a gross shortage of money at the club

Yes, he doesn't scout players himself, but he absolutely does have a huge say in the specific individuals we sign. 

 

I agree that a replacement for Scoulding is key a piece of recruitment this season.

We were able to move really fast when we sold Patterson with a player coming in bang in the correct mould. 

 

Let's hope the same is true with any departures here.

He's not even correct.

 

We've added Souttar.
