Can someone explain what these two do?

David Downes Head of Recruitment and Dean Hughes Recruitment Analyst. I dont know how long they have been in place but I cant say recruitment has been anything special over the last 2 years perhaps apart from Iorfa. What's the process for finding players?  Manager goes to these 2 asks for a certain type of player and they bring him a list of availabe candidates or does it all go through Paxo and Chansiri first and a player turns up at training and tells Monk he just been signed?

I keep reading that people dont want Monk rebuilding our squad but would anything change with a new man unless they are given free reign to clear out the backroom and bring in their own people?

You answered your own question in first  couple of lines

Borner, Iorfa, Harris and Murphy have all been decent since they were appointed.  Was it when Bruce came they

got the job?

Absolutely true.

 

Theyve played many many games, tried, been reasonably good and would be on pretty much everyone’s team-sheet. Excellent and cheap recruitment.

 

Compare to Abdi, Van Aken, Butterfield etc

They have done a decent job tbh.

 

No world beaters unearthed but no absolute chancers either.

I think Luongo is an example of what they do. He had the best tackling % in the league at qpr, who had messed his contract situation up and had a year left at a good age so we were able to get him. Was a captain too.

 

I guess they are like a human version of the filter on champ man

They both came in last year didn't they?

The head of recruitment has probably done OK as has been said with the budget we have had to work with in the last two windows though I think the business done last summer when Bruce was involved was far better than the business done in January.

 

The recruitment analyst must have a pretty easy job if his title is anything to go by. 

 

Analysing our recruitment since 2016 shouldn't be too difficult and can probably largely be summed up in one word, i'll let you choose your own......

Pity there's no management recruitment committee
