Not enough credit is given (to FSG/recruitment team) for hiring such a high-performance team. It’s not easy to bring a key personnel from the likes of Bayern or Cheaty.

I’m interested to know about our scouting team.

Liverpool’s scouting staff is relatively small compared to a team like Man Uniteds. Players are rated between A-D. Most are between C-D due to high standards. D is not good enough, C is okay but must see more. Anything else is solid interest and an A is a transfer bid basically straight away but is very rare. Each scout covers 1-2 countries compared to other teams who have one scout per major city. Not sure why we don’t go mad but might be a quality over quantity thing. They travel around their respective countries and enter players on a database so Edwards/Ward/Ingeltorpe can view. Communication is not frequent so not to be standing on scouts toes adding pressure to find a quantity of players instead of finding the ideal one. Every detail is noted. Through inquiries made by scouts, family life’s, personalities are documented on these databases which effect decisions.

Dave Fallows - Head of Recruitment

Directs Scouts about, sending them to games to watch players etc. Nickname is Fingers given to him by Sam Allardyce or Daves wife. Reviews player performances also. Involved with Hunter with the City data leak in which we gave City one million pound to let slide.

Barry Hunter - Chief Scout

Watches players tapes sent in, often goes out to give final judgements before recommending to Alex Ingeltorpe (responsible for getting academy players) Edwards now Ward (responsible for signing senior players) Former Northern Irish international and manager of Rushden and Diamonds. Presume he has a good player map of Northern Ireland with his connections. Used to scout Italy during his time with Man City so must do similar here aswell. Was City’s go to man for Italian players even before Mancini, showing his skill level. Involved in Dzeko signing and others.

Dave Moss - Academy Chief Scout

Russ Richardson - Head of UK scouting
