First I've heard of this but it doesn't surprise me. I think so long as the club has reliable people scouting talent, there's really no need for a recruitment manager. Especially with a CEO and COO. Makes perfect sense actually.
I dont see the fuss, I thought it was always the case. Anyway, its for the best, the coach should always have the vital say in the players best suited to the direction he chooses to take the team.
shows how much the telegraph really know when you read the article. humphreys leaving does not make mcdonnell the longest serving WT employee he already was there before humphreys so bit of pointless writing that fact and considering mcdonnell had that same role under sheens of only signing NYC players to bring on through so really another pointless piece of writing by the telegraph.
