Getting the most from your staff

[avillafan.com]

I was just wondering what people look for when recruiting new staff and what responsibilities they allow them to have.

I am a long-time player of the FM (and CM series) but I don't feel I've ever taken full advantage of my staff.

Some examples I would have where I've given them roles but I don't feel it has paid off:

 

Director of Football

- Recruiting players (mainly u23). Most players are very average and are never likely to play in my first team.

Technical Director

- Recruitment of staff but again they seem to recruit very average staff and when contracts run out, weaken my backroom staff.

Head of Youth Development

- Find loan deals and individual training for those below the first team but again I don't notice anything major improvement-wise.

 

Now, am I not utilising my staff for the proper responsibilities or are some of these positions simply not required and I could save my clubs on my saving money? How do you set up your backroom staff and what responsibilities do you give them?
