Usually when a club replaces a manager with a head coach they usually also sign a director of football to handle all the signings. Just wondering if anyone knows who picks targets and actually signs the players etc. I don't feel we can really hold Peeters accountable for signings when he is only a "head coach".

In the more recent past I'd concluded that it was Inspector Clousseau.
Or should I have said none as they were all sourced and supplied by RD.
I guess if the signings are successful it won't matter too much who signed them
But elsewhere it has been said that Karel Fayre (sp?) Last seen as a Riga's no.2 is still very much involved and will be more involved again.
But it is an important question that hasn't been officially answered.
It seems to be the case with Peeters aside from the development squad signings (not sure who decides to sign them?), while Henderson at least was clearly recommended by other staff.
Anyway, he's still around and part of the "empire"
We don't know who scouts these players but, as mentioned above, BP seems to have had a good say in identifying a majority of them given their past career records and shared previous.
Does PC scout these players from all over Europe? That would surprise me. The fact he is a scout surprises me anyway, but I'll try to avoid stereotyping a footballer who never had a touch as being unable to spot it in others.
Then I wonder who does the negotiation? As in meeting with agents and players and getting a player to chose the club over others? I don't mean the fine print of the contract itself, I mean the work behind the scenes to get deal going. I would expect that to be someone from the football world rather than the business world.
think Burkinshaw - Ardiles/Villa
Curbs and Claus Jensen
Powell and BWP
Curbs should do the football CEO role for the network. With his urbane and cosmopolitan outlook he would be perfect for the role. Joking aside, if promotion was ever on the cards, we would need someone to sell the club to higher profile players. I just can't fathom the gap. Either coach and tech director or old school all singing and dancing manager.
makes me admire Redknapp all the more for doing it all himself

How else would he get his house in Sandbanks?
