Two major changes behind the scenes. Our Head of Recruitment, Jordan Miles who only arrived in February is moving on and is being replaed by his Deputy, Alex Davies. Seems odd, as Miles would have been instrumental in the sucessful recruitment of last summer's players.
But the bigger change is the departure of Technical Director, Gretar Steinsson, who has been reassigned by the 49ers to the role of err Technical Director for some ill defined nebulous post. The expectation is that he will oversee a number of clubs who the 49ers are expected to acquire. He is not being replaced which will result in NIck Hammond's position being strengthened, much akin to the role Victor Orta enjoyed.
Ok, Robbie Evans is promoted to Managing Director but doesn’t seem to have the CEO moniker. Maybe some of former role is being divided up between McCormick and Evans.
Adam Underwood has been promoted to Orta’s former role of Sporting Director which will oversee recruitment as well as the academy, football activities and medical staff. So guess that means Hammond has gone to Everton with Kinnear. No word of Penrice in the shake up.
Edit - having done a bit more checking, Kinnear was originally brought in as Managing Director so I guess that both the Sporting Director and this represents a return to the former blueprint.
