I know the scouting teams dont work to a budget ,as who sets the initial price of a player ? The club who own him . .Any scout can say buy 'Watkins etc' i know but most scouts are looking for the 'Kante' player . Rudkin does not say how much to bid on any player trust me . If you think a DoF should have top skills in business and a business plan, then you're moving on to the position of 'technical director ' https://uk.indeed.com/career-advice/finding-a-job/what-does-a-technical-director-do-in-football
The lady in question has a big say at LCFC , massive . She helps run a company that makes billions .
Watch how hard a dof position is at Villa as discussed to day on Talksport and these guys are good at it .
