You don't need "football people" you just need intelligent people who know the rules.

To be fair, transfer negotiations isn't exactly a footballing matter - it's a business matter. I'm not sure having an ex-player involved helps, or ensures things are handled properly.

But I'm glad to hear the issue is being dealt with internally.

Intelligence is a given in any role so high profile mate, but you most definitely need people who understand football dealings and the etiquette involved in such matters. I've got a good business brain and consider myself fairly intelligent but I know nothing of football and transfer matters at boardroom level so I would not be ideal for that job!
