My feeling based on a ten minute conversation with KF way back when we lost at home to Birmingham was that he is at least very involved with sourcing players. He without doubt said to me and I paraphrase " I look at some players, make some recommendations. I know a lot of players." He certainly gave me the impression that he was scouting for the network.
Yes he is a football man and knows a great deal. Yes he sees players and makes recommendations but some would say (hope that this does not wake the beast of Bromley) that this means he’s a 'head of recruitment'. There are, or have been 'unknown laptop' faces recruiting players but I think/hope that they or RD/JE will concentrate on a backbone of Championship type players now and ready to play. Realistically this can only happen to January window. Let's hope they/he chooses well and the evil one pays up! COYR
Championship type players? There's no evidence to suggest that they even know what a Championship type player is.
I understand your scepticism WestCountryAddict but KF and JE are working closely together, so between them I think they will choose wisely provided they are allowed the necessary dosh.... If you have no confidence in KF then perhaps you will have more in Jason. All signings are somewhat of a gamble and even Curbs got it wrong sometimes. Of course if they get it wrong it will be Karel's fault and it they get it right it will be Jason that gets the credit no doubt.....
Won't bother getting into an argument with you as I wasn't there but, regardless of how long it was, you learnt a hell of a lot in one conversation with KF.

Thank you because i don't want to get into a long exchange with Henry again, although I think he liked being referred to as 'the Beast from Bromley' tee hee. As I stated in a previous reply it's good to talk and perhaps even better to listen....

Yes thank you I think that I am a good listener!
Amazing how every time that something happens which is less than flattering for the our owners that some, previously unknown poster pops up and writes a load of sycophantic tosh about the CEO / RD / Whoever is manager.
You joined after this shower turned up, have alluded strongly to inside knowledge and familiarity with the current regime and seem very familiar with certain posters output.

Are you desperate Pete or desperate Pierre??
I hope that you are not serious? I expect that I am as unhappy and fearful of the future with RD as owner and have as little respect for KM as many on here. If I gained some insight and have an opinion on KF and what he is trying to do with the players that he has at his disposal and refute some of the inaccurate 'facts' they some may assert, then I feel I should say so. Sorry that you cannot accept that I am a 'real' supporter but I understand your frustrations when others post stuff which you do not agree with..... Incidentally, although I only became a member in March last year, I have followed the forum for several years and have been going to the Valley since the early 1960ies. And it is Desperate Pete by the way not desperate Pierre! PS. I am also sorry it your post was meant to be humorous but it was partly at my expense so I did not find it as funny as others.

Sorry about the shocking attempt at humour at you expense - I guess I thought the man who dubbed Henry the " beast of Bromley " would take this on the chin.
