Sporting director Matt Hobbs

Hodgson seemed fine with letting Dougie handle the transfers. Glasner has always wanted more of an input.

"Doug Freedman" as he referred to him, always made me chuckle. 🙂

He'll probably insist on calling Matt Hobbs, Matthew.

Apropos our signings, Henderson, Munoz, Wharton, Eze and Mateta (Loan) all arrived when Mr Hodgson was at the helm.

Hodgson has been in charge for 5 of the last 8 years

Has Dougie settled in SA? If not we should throw money at him to get him back. No disrespect to Hobbs but some of the Doug's business was top class and worth a fortune to Palace.

how many clubs have paid big and turned out flops ask arsenal paid 70m for pepe ( big club )

big difference is that is not big money for them.

pepe wasnt that bad some of these big clubs destroy players.

look at eze they pay all that cash for him and hes a bench warmer not even been getting any minutes its sad.

Munoz & Wharton both signed in Jan window the time Roy fell ill and OG had to take over so he was the one that got to use those.

I'm not really so sure if he does. I know he specifically asked the club to try and get Kamada. I think all others were already on the recruitment team's list.
I might be wrong but I'm sure someone told me Sosa has played for Glasner before? If thats true I imagine he was also instrumental in bringing him to us too.
