Number of Scouts Reduced with new Chief Scout

[celticfan]

I hired a new Chief Scout, after my previous one was signed by another club. 

Previously I had 6 scouts in the scouting team, but after hiring the new guy, I have 5.

 

Is this the expected behavior - i.e. the number of scouts available is determined by the Chief Scout?

Secondly - if the Chief Scout themselves sets the size of the scouting team, then why do unattached scouts not show the potential size of their scouting teams?

It would make more sense that the club themselves set the number.

Previous Chief Scout was Alberto Giraldez.  New one is Joe McClaren.
