Dave Fallows
Fallows is our head of recruitment, and according to the Echo, has a worldwide network of scouts directly reporting to him. It’s these players which he then introduces to the rest of the transfer committee for analysis.
Importantly – Fallows works closely with Rodgers in creating a suitable shortlist of players for a necessary position.
So when we signed Nathaniel Clyne this summer, you can be sure he was one of the names on a list of right-backs originally collated by Fallows and his team.
The committee then analyse the list and Ayre and Gordon decide who is financially viable.
Barry Hunter
Hunter, a former assistant at Swindon Town, is our chief scout. He watches individual transfer targets thoroughly and consistently, and draws up in-depth reports of the players outlined by Fallows and the rest of the scouts.
Hunter spends the most time focussing on an individual target, highlighting strengths, weaknesses, personality and analysing how the player would suit Liverpool.
He doesn’t get involved in any financial matters and doesn’t negotiate fees or contract details with clubs or players.
