Swanny just said that McCan't isn't the one signing players.He says that somebody else is. Is he referring to Ehaw or somebody else?
Head Coaches don’t sign players Hull City does not employ team managers and hasn’t done for some time.
Saying that, most of the players we've signed since McCann joined us have worked with him before. He definitely has a say in who we sign, or at least he did last season.
Nothing much in Swann's comments really. If you employ a head of recruitment which is Darnborough's role, of course he is v involved in recruitment but as per comment above it cant be coincidence we've signed players McCann has worked with before. For what it's worth, thought all 3 new signings today showed promise.
If McCann isn't picking the transfers, then it's a huge coincidence that nearly all of his signings last season had played for him at some point.
Isn’t the one “signing”... Doesn’t meant he isn’t picking. Most managers identify a few players and leave it to others to try and sign one. It’s normal to work on a position and have a few possibles. Who gets bought then comes down to what the signing team can afford or tempt.
I said in the recruitment last year it shows a manager who lacks a little confidence to only sign players he knows. There’s always a bit of that. Clough with McGovern springs to mind but it was all of them. Suppose we have to pray to god he’s learning he just doesn’t inspire confidence.
