Which pretty much sums up the abilities of our scouting/recruitment department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something along the lines of a review into the club etc etc? That seems to have just disappeared into thin air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggling to find it but it's alluded to at the bottom of this article - http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/mel-morris-candid-interview-derby-county-owner-tells-fans-give-me-a-break/story-29797295-detail/story.html He mentioned, just before McClaren was appointed, that the club would be undertaking a review into the club, to see what had gone wrong and to 'restate the plan' - if anyone can find the video/article where this is mentioned that would be ace, but it was certainly reported in the Telegraph/Twtter/I thought on here too.

I appreciate that this messageboard have some of the greatest judges of a player's ability and potential around, but surely Conor Hourihane must have popped up on the radar of at least one other club apart from Aston Villa, either championship or premier league, if he is so utterly mind-blowingly good? So somebody who has out tackled, out scored, made more assists and out performed our midfield isn't better than Bryson and Butterfield? I come on really, they've both been well below average this season, if you can't see that you're blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote I know something you don't know. No you don't - I know it. You don't know it. How could you know it? Nobody knows it. Only me. I just know it. Prove it then. Tell me what I know. etcetera. Now there have been plenty of people on here in the past who have pretended to be #ITK - and you have your own disciples who hang on your every word. I'm not particularly interested in what you may or may not know, but coming on here and coming out with something along the lines of "I know what's wrong, but I can't tell you because I will get either myself or somebody else into trouble" just smacks of cockwombling - or would you prefer 'Ahlberging'?

Then every other scout and manager in the Championship and the Premier League is too, because I did ask, quite clearly in plain English, why are Villa the only club seemingly chasing such an incredible player at such a bargain price. You chose the ad hominem response - which says far more about you than it does about my myopia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
