Quote: Wirefan "When trying to prove he has some kind of inside track, RD spouted some crap about SJM and RD taking recruitment matters away from TS because they'd had enough or something similar, which is also why I posted the quote from Sandow saying it was TS who pretty much made him join.
Don't think for even a minute that TS didn't work with SJM and RD to complete this deal.'"
Why would Draper be involved in player recruitment? He has taken over from Gatcliffe and is running the business side of the club.
I'd imagine that approaches are made via agents/managers to Moran, or the other way around, about availability of players and Smith then gets the say on which players we pursue. I cannot envisage any environment where Smith doesn't have the final say on players or where Draper is involved in player recruitment.
Sandow will have been the one that landed due to whatever circumstances but I'm sure that we have made approaches to sign at least two British half-backs and three or four from down-under in addition to Sandow.
