I would have thought the manager says to the DoF this is who I want go get them, if you have any problems let me know and I will try to intervene, not the DoF saying this is who I’ve got you, and of course he can make suggestions but no first team player should come to any club on the say so of the DoF, and yes he can bring young prospects in to advance through the ranks, and the manager would have no concerns with that because they wouldn’t effect his first team squad, but as for the DoF deciding who’s brought into the first team squad I’m very very sceptical that that happens any where.
