    So when they brought in Duff, Kitching, Connell, Cadden, Thomas (Bobby), Phillips they didn't know what they were doing?

    There’s no doubt a good DOF would add value to the club but 2 things immediately to mind
    1) we don’t actually know if Khalid does a good job or not and if he is actually doing a good job it would be wasted money.
    2)It seems a DOF would cost around £100k so circa £2k a week would we rather spend the money on an unknown benefit or a player?

    Maybe this guy (Below) has a major input. And others (coaches) contribute their thoughts. That's where I think conman failed and made his own decisions for whatever reason. Maybe the charges put against him will shed some light.

    Would have thought he would be more on the medical side TBH as opposed to recruiting/negotiating, that said you’re probably right in that there is probably a collective that input into identifying.

    I do know there is a guy doing what James Cryne did in the past. And this guy was the only one I thought might fit the bill in Who's who on the club website. I did wonder if I was barking up the wrong tree.

    I am not sure we fail to get signings over the line, there can be many reasons why a deal is not finally struck but we have made many signings over the years & we will make many more in the future , the trouble is that the rumour mill is always rife during transfer windows & some take every snippet of info as fact where probably the best rule of thumb is to wait for official announcements & take no notice of people who are allegedly in the know or just spouting rumours, there are plenty of wind up merchants put there .
