I thought Welsh was excellent last season, but if we can't afford him, there are other football playing central defenders out there. Just not a market we have explored during the Craigan/Hartley years.

I got the impression that Welsh enjoyed playing for Askou. Although he was clearly fully committed to Motherwell I'm not so sure he would want to return now that Askou is away. Would not surprise me if Welsh ended up in Toulouse

Interesting one this. From StM announcement by Keith L

Gavin joins the club with a proven track record of identifying high potential players that have generated significant revenue and has an extensive network across Europe and the UK.”

Given the increased focus on data analytics and use of various databases/algorithms I wonder how much each club would already have same targets and how much Motherwell specific details on targets Gavin Miller takes with him. 
 

in other commercial environments there would be non-disclosure, non-compete and/or gardening leave situations when someone moves to competition.  
 

I know nothing about the realities of football situation.  Interested if others do - in general if not this specific case.

I'd guess he works for a data analytics company (or partners with one), and that data belongs to them rather than Motherwell. 

Given their track record, however, all he really needs is a database containing the entry "Copy what Motherwell do"

Like other industries, i suppose it depends on the level the person is operating at. If they are graduates or junior to mid staff they move on seamlessly. If they are senior management/director type level you get into those clauses.

Thats my view anyway from non football industry. No idea what and how it happens in football
