What are your thoughts on these in game? I never hire one and usually they just sit there taking a wage until their contracts run out.
Does anyone, or has anyone, used these as the sole caretaker of transfers? So they bring in and sell players and you make do with what they get!

I usually hire one, but it depends on a type of save / challenge I am playing. If I want to be in charge of a club where the budget is tight then I don't hire one because they sometimes give massive contracts out. They are also a bonus because sometimes they can negotiate contracts with players who might not sign when you go to the contract screen.
I sometimes use them as a glorified scout, sometimes they come up with good deals and sometimes not. Mixed bag really. I do find they don't tend to bid for youth players even when set, so I wonder if that is something SI are looking at.
Feel the role could develop further within Football Manager series, like they could make signings without your consent etc.

I assume it's only really effective when you assign him to make offers for young players and negotiate staff contracts and stuff but I never do that anyway so I'm probably just wasting money away.

Personally I'm hoping this will see a massive update in FM19 as more and more nowadays managers are simply coaches and player recruitment, contract negotiations etc are no longer part of the managers role at many of the bigger clubs so should certainly be mirrored in the next instalment.
