Luton Outlaws - Independent Message Board for Luton Town FC

It's my completely uneducated opinion that we try to be too nice to staff we've formed a close relationship with and either keep them too long(Edwards) or create and offer them roles to keep them about (Dearden). As I said to MG above, what's Sajid doing? We've got a chief scout and a head of analasys, is he managing both of them?

Dearden is Teams Operations Manager. No one has ever actually managed to say what he does or why he's on the bench every game.

Having looked at a few other clubs none of them have one.

Looking at scouting structures of other clubs it's all quite clear... There's a head of recruitment and then it flows down from there, is that what Sajjad is?

Brentford and Brighton, two clubs who have done what we try to do, but better, have very simlld coaching structures, and from what I can see their organisational structure for scouting is simple too - no random job titles and three-pronged management teams etc
