Speaking to KickOff, Comitis has expressed how relationships that he has built over the years, has since paid off.
"I have got a fantastic network of 25 years," Comitis tells KickOff.
"I always take anyone's calls. I never ignore any agent, even if he is small because you never know who is going to have the right player.
"We always do the homework, we get the footage, we watch the players, we do the homework and then we put them in the shortlist.
"We keep monitoring the players and if it's the right time we have a list of players. If we are looking for a left-back, left-wing... We go back to our notes and then we start investigating again," he said.

"So any moment we know we can supply the club with a list of players. That's why it is not difficult for us to sign players.
"When we decide to sell a player it's because we already know are we replacing him. Bigger clubs tried to poach some of our players from our development, but they only managed one out of six. So the rest of them stayed.
