With no real evidence to back it up, I get the impression that these days it is more of a collaborative effort with the recruitment team rather than being mostly down to the manager as it seemed previously.
Wintle was quite possibly not Mccarthy's signing, given he went out on loan straight away, and Marley Watkins was definitely wanted by him, but the club overruled it.
I don't think the board members will be out there scouting players or anything, just that perhaps we have more strong voices within the process than previously - which would definitely be a good thing.
