We have a head of recruitment (Tommy Widdrington) and an Assistant ( Will Dubery) that appears to have recruited the likes of Payne, Upson, Rodman etc still at the club following these terrible signings. How isit possible for a new Manager to trust these two with reccomendations?

Duberry was the analyst,is he still with us? Someone called Enda Barron is the first team analyst according to the official site staff list.

Widdrington's only had one transfer window so far, that's like judging you on your first week at work. It was no secret that DC was an admirer of Upson and Rodman, did TW have much of a say on those transfers?
Dubey is an analyst, which means he scouts opponents and other teams in the division to help the coaches out, I'd be surprised if he has too much of an input in the recruitment process.
The main issue here seems to be having owners that doggedly cling onto FFP targets which means we miss out on a lot of players and have to either get targets lower down the list or panic buy at the end of the window which results in players like Payne etc.

Does make one wonder what all these people do to justify their salary

I believe the analyst films games and produces live info to the bench. Recruitment analysts are slightly different, they would run stats through computers.
Widdrington first signing was his son, currently on loan to Bognor ! Says it all

Everyone has to hold their hands up and take responsibility. I'd clear the lot of them out at the end of the season and start again now that DC has gone. He was the one who wanted Widdrington and I think it's fair to say DC's head has not been in the right place for a few months. So I would file Widdrington away alongside the signings of Mensah, Bennett, Upson and co. as the last throes of a man who was starting to find himself out of his depth.

Nepotism does not do Widdrington's professional credentials any good, especially when you are associated with a dog's dinner like our season has become.

So get rid of a man with 30 years worth of experience in the game who has really only had one shot so far to actually do his job and has to deal with a limited budget anyway? Seems exceedingly harsh for a man, who many Coventry fans credit with completely transforming their recruitment, making them push back on up the leagues. It was only a couple of weeks ago when summer recruits such as THD, Bonham, Rodman and Upson were picking up plaudits for their performances leading people to think the summer recruitment wasn’t that bad after all, a few mediocre performances later and this gets forgotten such is the nature of football fans. Let him get on and do his job I say.

Unless the ALQ's have now cut the wage budget or other clubs have upped theirs, that will still be the case. Fact is players would sooner sign elsewhere for some reason.

Let him get on and do his job I say. I'm not sure who that was but I wasn't one of them- I saw us against Oxford and we weren't great at all. Lots of long ball down the channels for Jakubiak. What got us through that day was a good game from Jakubiak and lots of endeavour in the midfield that meant we won the 50/50s. Champagne football is most certainly wasn't. Our recruitment has been god bloody awful since last January bar Bonham and possibly THD. Bennett, Upson, Matthews, Mensah, Payne etc. all poor quality signings. As for this window, Scunthorpe struck early and got their targets in. How come we couldn't even get a decent conference player sorted up front? What does Widdrington spend his days doing? Scouting his son?

TW was only at Coventry one season, what he did there seems a bit over hyped, plus why did he leave them as the job at Rovers seems no better/we've less potential? What the hell did TW see in Bakayoko or Payne?
