I honestly don't understand why you need about 10 people above the manager just to be able to get a few good signings through door and be successful these days. Its madness. Surely there must be days where these people do absolutely feck all and have nothing to do. Whoever does the scouting now must have it so sweet. "i know what ill do, hop on FM and see whose got -9 potential, book a flight and go and see them, i always wanted to go to Chile actually, tick it off the bucket list.... What wonderkids does FM say they have at the minute?"
The fact you reference football manager explains the point in bold.
