ED007 have you any info on this guy Congerton coming in as Head of Recruitment, hope he signs better players than the donkeys at Sunderland.

{Ed007's Note - I don't know anything about him mate but I did notice him and Rodgers have known each other since they worked together at Chelsea which is a positive imo.}

Seems like he's the one Rogers wanted so I agree with ed007 that it is a positive and i think it shows that the gaffer is in charge of all things football.

{Ed007's Note - I think it shows the exact opposite, Kev. The clue's in the job title.

'Lee will have responsibility for the management of the club's player recruitment function and our scouting operation, including our international scouting network.'

Do you think the manager decides where to send scouts etc?}

The way I see it ed007 is that the gaffer is building HIS team
He is getting people HE trusts into the important jobs
Obviously he does choose where to send the scouts but he will be telling them the type of player he wants and it looks like he is getting the final say on who signs for the first team.
Could we say the same happened for Ronny?

{Ed007's Note - This is a very important role and entails a lot more than just scouting for first team players. We'll be scouting players Brendan Rodgers will never even hear of let alone get to decide if they sign for us. Congerton will deal with recruitment of players at every level not just for the first team, Brendan Rodgers will have very little input on what 10 year old we are looking at bringing to the academy.
Congerton will work more closely with Chris McCart & Tommy McIntyre than he will Rodgers.
