Observed live: the staff tab issues GET /club?year=2017&type=manager&count=200.
club_route ignored the parameter entirely and answered every type with the full
player list, so FUT displayed players as coaching staff.
The filter is deliberately narrow. 'player' and 'manager' are the only values the
client has ever been seen to send; 'custom' (the by-league and by-team drill-downs)
and a missing type keep exactly the behaviour that is already proven on screen,
because those drill-down counts were only just fixed and must not be disturbed. An
unrecognised type is filtered rather than answered with everything, since
answering an unknown question with the whole player list is the bug being fixed.
We own no staff cards, so type=manager is [] today -- an empty item list, the same
shape the itemData parser already accepts everywhere else.
