I found this on the below forum. Just thought it may be of interest on this forum as well.

I'm not sure if this classifies as ITK but I came across this link today......this was poster by a former member of our staff who now works at Alloa in Scotland

Thought I would issue some clarification on our great club. To try and get everyone on the same page. Should I notice this info on a certain other website that is copying what I put on here, I will personally join that website and embarrass every single supposed "i.t.k's."
Lewis: Played a huge part in Harry Redknapps sacking the only time he has ever been hands on with the club. He was only hands on because of the concern with Levy possible leaving last summer. Plays no part with the club otherwise.
Levy: With the appointment of Baldini it now allows Levy to be more hands off. Contrary to peoples beliefs Levy is not the sole scout or negotiator at the club there are others who fulfil this role. Levy has had some horrific personal issues to deal with and hopefully will now spend the bulk of his time at home in New York.
On a personal note...Levy is the closest we will ever get to a fan running the club and I urge any criticism to look closely at what he does. Dave Whelan is praised to the hilt in the media, I wish Daniel Levy was too.
Collecott: The money man at the club, very quiet man, very astute man reminds me very much of Levy. Fulfills a role similar to Vice Chairman and runs the club in Levys absence.
Cullen: The Karren Brady of the club, has worked her way up through the club. Lovely woman and one of the most powerful at the club. Every press release, information, details all go through her. You cannot break wind without her permission. Also fulfils a role similar to vice chairwoman and runs the club in Levys absence.
Pleat/Commoli: With the addition of Baldini this now brings an end to both former d.o.f. working on an advisor basis to levy. If you wandered why we had the same targets as Liverpool or why we signed Lloris that was down to Commoli. Commoli has around 12 staff of his own personally who scout the globe.
Baldini: He is not a chief scout (we have a scouting system) he is a negotiator and will control the administrative process of the club top to bottom. Baldini was due to join last year as a part of the shake up but Roma would not release him. This set us back really badly and up until January we had just a handful of scouts. To put this in to perspective Torquay United would of had more! Above AVB and a direct line to Daniel Levy.
Sherwood: Confused as to what his title will be now at the club, one of the most powerful people at the club and quite respected in the game. Will also shape the club top to bottom from schoolboys to the first team. More focused in the staff and youth at the club for example his appointment of avbs assistant Steffen Freund. AVB answers to him and a direct line to Donna Cullen. Weird situation where Sherwood could manage the under 21s but still be above the first team manager!
AVB: Head coach, I cannot stress this enough. He has never bought a player at any club, he does not get a big say in any players coming in although he is notified. The only issue was Lloris where avb was notified much later on in the process than usual and he was a little annoyed.Perfectly happy at the club and no release clause on his or anyone elses contract.
Freund: The reason we were late from changing rooms, he loves a chat! Nice man, not sure he is the best for this role but we will see how he gets on this season.
Martins: AVBS real right hand man, very tactically astute man and great to have at the club.
Rocha: Best fitness coach in the game, consistently being poached by other clubs.
Sousa: Whenever you see a rumour (quite a bit in the media with this man) that sousa has scouted a player, it is a lie. Sousa scouts teams we are playing he does not specialise in one player. He specialises in formations, etc.
Ramsey: Sherwoods right hand man, one of the most hard working and respected men at the club. Whilst in charge of the kids he commands respect from anyone and rather strangely was key in the club appointing avb. In fact if it was not for this man avb would not have got the job such is his ability. Many contacts in the game also.
Scouting Team: Now I cannot say much but I would expect another appointment as I feel we are missing a proper head of scouting. Carr from Newcastle may well return to us, fingers crossed! This group are separate to Baldini and Sherwood but answer to them.
I have left people out here but I am running out of time. I also might not be able to reply much throughout the day but will attempt to.
Clear as mud hey?
