Waggott?? (1 Viewer)

This has been bugging me for a while, but does anyone know what Steve Waggott's qualifications are that got him to be our 'Head of Recruitment'? I know he had a similarly unsuccessful role at Charlton when they plummeted down the leagues, but as far as I know he never played the game so where does his 'expertise' come from and what is his background? I just noticed that Les Ferdinand has a similar role at QPR and I think other clubs use 'football people' in such roles. It seems Waggott is getting to play a real life game of Football Manager at our expense.

Did his stint at charlton coincide with their slip down the league and struggle to get out of league one?

I think he has some sort of finance in football qualification. But the question I'd ask is not about qualifications or experience but does he do an effective job?
