    Franco Baldini to come in as head of recruitment?

    Article in the normally reliable Goal today about us appointing Capello's England No 2 as our head of recruitment - not quite a director of football, but not far off. I think we did really good business this last window but with Levy's personal considerations quite justifiably not allowing him...
