I was just wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to how we go about scouting, analysing and recruiting currently. We had Rob McKensie, Paul Mitchell and Ian Broomfield all departing (at various times), followed by the appointment of Steve Hitchin I believe as head of recruitment or scouting ? And reports were that he became part of the "committee" which included Pochettino, Levy and John McDermott.
Poch himself has previously stated that he gets the final say over transfers, but we have recently read reports that Poch has effectively blocked the appointment of a new "sporting director" or "head of recruitment" and wants even more control over the comings and goings.
Can anyone confirm what the current set up is? Scouting, Analytics, recruitment etc ? And I include any of our more informed posters, @Trix @Hercules @Grey Fox etc. Not asking for any ITK or anything sensitive, just if you guys have an idea of the general set up and who's doing what (to whom) in terms of those remits etc.
