Thought this may be of interest to some. The QPR stuff starts about 14 minutes in.

They talk about transfers, Les Ferdinand, the recruitment department as a whole...

Thanks for posting this. It's not an area that's openly discussed much so it was an interesting watch. Andy Belk seems a good 'un.

LFW takes a peek behind the curtain at the notoriously secretive business of player trading as we sit down with the club's head of recruitment Andy Belk to discuss how the current squad was brought together, modern scouting, the influence of data on decision making and the impact of Brexit.

Get to the 27:40 ish mark in the interview and the Interviewer asks that eternal question - "what does Les actually do"

Enjoying this, very interesting.

The 2 were quite similar and interesting.
We seem to have developed a professional approach to recruitment, with the manager, Belk, Les and Lee all agreeing on the way forward.
We won't get it always right as players don't always settle or perform as expected, but we seem to be heading the right way. Given our limited budget that is some achievement.
