Lee Johnson has been discussing the appointment of Stuart Harvey, who will lead the club's recruitment operation. He’s going to be busy this summer whichever league we’re in next season…
HUGE
"It's such a huge appointment really, having somebody in that role. I was a part of the back end of the process [of bringing in Harvey], which was good and I enjoyed giving my thoughts and my feelings. It's so important that you get your recruitment right, and the way it works nowadays is that it's a lot more of a collective process than it used to be than when, say, my dad was manager at Bristol City in the Championship and he and the chairman made the decision. Now there is a lot more input from data analysts, data scientists, the head of recruitment, the scouts - it's almost like a committee of people who will want a say on any particular signing.”
