Someone named Lee Merricks is also their data person, so I am curious what kinda of connections he has and how heavily he's part of the scouting process...he does seem to have a large body of experience and has a UEFA A license, so he likely has connects in Europe. I don't have the ability to see his full LinkedIn profile, though.

The impression I got was that there IS a small internal staff, but that their real reach is in connections with agents and admin staff, in Europe, especially. Their personal legwork is limited, but their rolodex is large.

Edit: According to his twitter hashtags in his bio, he is likely involved in scouting/recruiting: https://x.com/leemerricksguru?s=20
