Steve Nickson is said to be frustrated by a reduction in his responsibility since the arrival of sporting director Paul Mitchell, but the head of recruitment has no desire to leave the club.
Rather, sources say Nickson will get his head down and work within a new structure and strategy being devised by Mitchell.
We understand Nickson has been taking the necessary courses to become a sporting director himself, and he was being considered for a more prominent position at the club earlier this year. He was very well thought of by former co-owners Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi.
