Every club (and not only in our League) is following a lot of players at this time of a season - and indeed all the time. It's part of the job of a Director of Football or equivalent. Petrillo is on record as a saying this at least once. And James Poole is supposed to be doing that as well. With all the rules these days, not only caps but "fair play" rules, it's a very complex job. It's easy for someone like me to throw the criticisms around but these guys aren't being paid for nothing!
