Grumpy Git Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 11 minutes ago, GenBr said: Mels son was head of emerging talent for a few years and then head of technical scouting. Think the whole department needs rebuilding from the ground up to be honest. Nothing against either Joe or Harry and i'm sure they must be competent at their jobs, but i'd rather not have the recruitment team packed with family members of the old regime. When you have a head of "Technical Scouting", you know there are a few jobs for the boys. All these bull$hit titles where everyone is either a "head" a "manager" or a "senior" something or other is just pure bullcrap.

Rooney previously said ALL the recruitment team were made redundant by Quantuma. Presumably in the redundevcies that happened before Christmas.

Maybe even youth recruitment with a view to first team such as Plange and Ebiowei? The key questions would be: which first team signings was he responsible for? which players did he recommend but managers overlooked? The follow up question to both of those would be, why didn't the manager take his advice? RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else not noticed this in all walks of life though? All fancy titles, a room full of chiefs and no Indians to do the graft. Do people like a fancy job title in lieu of a decent wage? Thank god I got out of the corporate rat-race 30 years ago. Edited May 16, 2022 by Grumpy Git Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macintosh Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 2 hours ago, sage said: Did he mention any players he recommended that we missed out on? He said that he'd often scout for replacements, should a player get injured or sold on, someone who could fill the void if needed. He mentioned when his dad was boss he knew the type of player to look for, they had that chemistry. But added that he sometimes did not have that same connection or communication with other managers. He did not mention player's names, he was very respectful. I've alway had the impression that he only had an input with the younger players brought here, that a manager like Lampard/Rowett/Clement had their own ideas and bypassed our scouting process. Maybe we can blame Joe for Nugent, for those here that did not rate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
