Let's talk about Head of Youth Development
Let's talk about this guy. I'll start with my example. Playing as Bury in the 3-4th league. I Hired a scout with Model Citizen personality (14|14) and second job as a HoYD and most of my youngsters was balanced and ony good one was fickle. And in the second season I saved the game right before the youth intake to experiment. Most of the time they had only a star and was balanced, nothing even avarage.
I wonder what makes him better. Is personality more important than Judging PA/PP. Does giving a second job for your other staff as a Head of YD makes any difference.

Former Preston North End captain Graham Alexander has been appointed as the club's new head of youth development.
The 40-year-old retired from playing at the end of last season and assisted the coaching staff at Deepdale during the second half of the 2011-12 campaign.
According to chairman Peter Ridsdale, Alexander is a shrewd appointment.
'He's got over 1,000 games under his belt, he's a hero here and what better person to head our youth development,' he told BBC Radio Lancashire.
Ridsdale has also confirmed that as many as 11 jobs at the club are 'under review' as a result of changes to the club's off-field organisation structure, following their failure to win promotion back to the Championship.
Youth team coaches Dean Ramsdale and Jamie Hoyland will both leave Preston later this year.
'A year ago, we got relegated from the Championship and we were all hoping we would be back sooner rather than later,' added Ridsdale.
'When the season finished, we had a look at what cost base we could afford for the playing squad and we looked at the cost base for the office staff and the backroom staff.

'We've had to conclude that both of those were too high for a League One football club and we couldn't continue to sustain the losses we'd been sustaining over the past 12 months.'
