Somebody who can scout players for x and sell for double x is part of where Forest are going, I suspect.
For now, previously, Forest have had to sell Academy products to stay afloat. To become more transfer savvy is where they're going next. To do that...they need somebody who can find those players with premium potential and sell those players and 50-100% or more on. Get them coached into better players, help the club and move them on.
The days of buying crepe and moving them on for nothing are over. (Ergo the amassing of quality and proven excellence in the backroom team/hierarchy of running the club. We strike a hard bargain and don't sell cheap. See the deals for McKay and the keeper we sold on. These deals help fund transfer windows and the turnover of the club.)
And I suspect that is where this latest move is coming from. France. A good source of players who know how to pass and are pretty robust and athletic in football terms. I have a lot of time and respect for how the French team play their football. Qualities I see that would be useful in the Championship or Premiership.
To have someone with those kind of links? A positive move.
