Quote ="Dave K."Do people really think Clarke makes all the recruitment decisions on his own, do you think he choose to sign Evans, Lovodua and Reynolds, he may sort out the contracts, but it will be the head coach's job to sign the players he wants. I'm not saying he isn't blameless, buy the way some fans go on about him, you would think he is the only reason we are so poor.'"
Agree, like id stick my house on it was Hodgson saying 'get me Reynolds' as they were at Wests together, Clark's role is then just to get the deal over the line.
Football teams have tried to have expensive teams of analysts and sporting directors making transfer decisions but it still usually ends up being sign who the head coach wants, and they spit their dummies out and go if they don't.
