Personally don’t really understand why we’ve replaced him. Do we really need to use funds on a recruitment department at our level? Why not just let the manager have total say over the recruitment then everyone knows it’s solely their responsibility.
If we are getting a new owner who wants his own team in there he is unlikely to want Harris to pick the players.He may well have his own list of potential players he wants to collect more information on.This appointment could well be the first step by the new owner a temporary appointment with a view to change at the top.Personally don’t really understand why we’ve replaced him.

Oh you devil I hadn’t thought of that well spottedThe statement also said 'first team manager' and didn't mention Harris by name- significant?

If you’re suggesting the new owner could potentially have or want their say on player recruitment then that would be a big red flag to me. So I hope that isn’t the case.
I’ve heard that many of these consultants use a stat based system similar to the moneyball system that Brentford used and still do.
Identify under valued players or players coming to the end of contracts.
Anyone with six months left in the lower divisions should be fair game.
There are probably quite a few league one players with six months left who want a move.
It’s really depends on whether we are spending or not.
Well I'm sure the manager would have total say on who comes in and out of the squad. The recruitment manager could only recommend a player to Harris, who would then go and have a look to make his own mind up. I couldn't imagine a situation where a player turns up to training and announces to the manager that he's the new centre half!My point is a generalisation regardless of the manager. A club at our level doesn’t require a recruitment department in my opinion. Harris made a decent enough signing last January without needing someone else’s input first. I would rather the manager (whoever that is) have total say on who comes in and out of their squad then everybody knows where total responsibility lays.

Mr King seems to be taking a rather prominent role. He countersigned the Galinson charge document, involved (as agent?) in signing Callum and now gets a job as head of recruitment.
