Welcome Lee!.
I am still not happy about our failure to bring in a true striker during this summer transfer window. However!, it is what it is and perhaps the January window (and next summer) will be more interesting / fruitful.

Who’d have thought it takes more than 3 months of ownership to build a recruitment team……

Hopefully got the job on merit, rather than a job for the boys.

No point being the best person for the job if the relationship with your boss, who you have to work with daily, doesn't work. Also, no point having a great relationship with your boss if you're f*cking useless at your job 😉. Both him, and Cartwright, will be judged on future recruitment.

Bringing in people you already know doesn’t suggest open recruitment process that hires the best available person.
But he seems to have a decent background.

Always makes me laugh stuff like this..... 70 million people in the UK and the best person for the job is an old pal I used to work with... if that's how you recruit the recruiters... imagine how we will recruit the players. Should use moneyball, algorithms and AI to recruit. Certainly not rely on contacts and opinion of a few mates.

Also notice they have just signed Humphreys. Remember that we had some excellent prospects from Chelsea for a number of years. It's not just about those who we signed.

On the other hand, knowing the characters you're going to work with, if you get on with them, their strengths etc is quite important, and trickier to gauge if they're strangers. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, as it's all a bit of a rush to get the new regime in place, but if we're too reliant on jobs for the boys it limits our potential a bit I feel.

Yeah, I wasn't suggesting that was definitely the case, rather just not writing off the possibility. A girl started at our place recently, who someone knew from a prior job.....and so far she seems brilliant! Saying that, it tends to be more senior jobs where the bullshit happens. Golf club Tories 😄

What makes a good head of recuitment, given every club has different positional requirements, different available budgets and play different style of football ? Is it the breadth of contacts across the globe, secret scouts in locations where nobody else knows about... because measuring success seems to be dependent on so many variables.

Remind me how that worked out…
