Cloughy when at forest never saw David Currie play and paid 1 million for him he didn't last long after he saw him play
On recruiting players .
I saw an interview last week with the Fulham HC who says he doesn't have any say at all which I find extraordinary to say the least .
How does this thing work at the club ?
I ask this because I'm wondering if Hecky's actually gone over to France and seen Thiam play in real time so to speak .
Surely if you are spending a million quid you'd want to see him perform from the stands wouldn't you .

The scouts go out and watch the players but Hecky said if they sign from Europe a lot would be done just watching videos
I'd think PC will have the final say on if we sign someone
I think Heckys responsibility will be helping highlight targets and if they get that far helping sell the club to the player if he comes to Oakwell
The club wanted to get away from the 'manager' bringing all his own players and staff in .
The players who come in are a joint decision between Head Coach and his team, Head Scout , CEO and owner
Most clubs work this way now. More of a committee than one manager.
That's how we operate now. Makes any change of personnel easier if we get lose a successful Coach to other teams, but also means we could get in a downward spiral of Sh1te if things go wrong....
Sacking the Coach means there's still the other members of the committee who escape the blame and carry on.
HC means Head Can-carrier
