As the main sponsor of The Book of Scouting, we are proud to support a project that brings together some of football's most respected minds. One of those voices is Barry Simmonds, whose experience across coaching, scouting, recruitment and sporting leadership offers invaluable insights for the next generation of football decision-makers.
This what he says:
"It is a great resource for anyone starting or wants to be in scouting, or right up to the sporting directors who are looking to renew their scouting and recruitment departments. Quite a good resource also for anyone to read, learn, and acknowledge the scouting world of football. I am looking forward to Volume Two."
Barry Simmonds has spent decades working across coaching, scouting, recruitment and sporting leadership, including senior roles at Crystal Palace F.C., Fulham and other professional football organizations. His experience provides a unique perspective on how successful recruitment departments combine football expertise, leadership, trust and long-term planning.
In his chapter of The Book of Scouting – Volume One, Barry shares practical insights on developing scouts, building high-performing recruitment departments and finding the right balance between human expertise and AI-driven decision-making.
At Comparisonator, we strongly believe that technology should support football expertise, not replace it. The future of recruitment belongs to organizations that combine experienced people with objective data and artificial intelligence to make better decisions.

Every Review Reflects a Different Perspective. At Comparisonator, we have always believed that contributing to football goes beyond building technology. Supporting education, sharing knowledge, and helping develop the next generation of football professionals has always been part of our vision.
That is why we proudly supported The Book of Scouting – Volume One, published by The Football Week. From the very beginning, we believed this project could become a valuable resource for football professionals around the world.
Writing the book took months of research, interviews, and conversations with scouts, sporting directors, coaches, analysts, agents, and executives across the global game. But publishing it was never the finish line. The most rewarding part has been seeing how readers from different backgrounds have connected with its ideas.
Over the past months, football professionals and passionate supporters of the game have shared their thoughts on Amazon. Every review reflects a different perspective, shaped by each person's experience in football.

We send our gratitudes to Isitan Gun (Former Owner & Chairman of Fortuna Sittard) as he provided a fantastic video testimony about Comparisonator CEO-the book author Tarkan Batgun. He says: “I believe The Book of Scouting is a very well written resource for everybody who wants to work in football. Especially in player recruitment and data analysis.”
How do football clubs create sustainable success instead of constantly reacting to short-term pressure?
Because the real strength of a club is not measured by one transfer window, but by the quality of the structure behind every decision.
In The Book of Scouting – Volume One, one of the most valuable ownership perspectives comes from Isitan Gun, former Owner, President, and Chairman of Fortuna Sittard, where he played a central role in transforming the club from financial instability into a sustainable top-tier organization in Dutch football.
Our conversation focused not only on scouting and transfers, but on the deeper architecture of club leadership, how decision-making systems protect clubs from instability, how data and contextual scouting reduce expensive mistakes, and why strong governance is often the real competitive advantage.
