The scouts aren’t DC’s - they report in to SW (via a Head of Scouting no doubt!). He is DoF. SW laid out the age/experience profile of the squad DC (and whoever comes after him) will work with.
Am sure DC recommends named players and likewise, the scouts will recommend players (obvs). As under Rusk, DC will have a veto but doubt he’d last long if he regularly vetoed players recommended to him.
Whereas Jimbo was responsible for the lot, we now have a CoF and massive backroom team, which allows DC to focus on the first team squad, training, tactics and Matchday.
