Crabbycanary3 994 Posted May 31, 2017 Looks promising Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginja 26 Posted May 31, 2017 Believe this confirms what was rumoured several weeks ago, good to finally have it sorted, guessing this completes our backroom staff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badger 2,405 Posted May 31, 2017 Obviously I have no idea about them or their capabilities but if they are the people that Webber wants it is good news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lappinitup 629 Posted May 31, 2017 No mention of True Grit. How could they overlook him? [:^)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkngood 1,086 Posted May 31, 2017 Or Tom Cavendish ! ( Was he a scout ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodman 92 Posted May 31, 2017 Next stage will be Farke and Reimer''s backroom staff I assume. will be interesting to see what happens to McAvoy, Irvine and Kiely. Is Neil Adams still around as Head of Loans? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is Neil Adams still around as Head of Loans?[/quote]I''m not sure Farke will be bringing anyone else in. Webber''s already said that Farke''s team would have (at least one) British coach, so even if Irvine goes, they''ll be looking for a British coach with similar experience to replace him.Unless they shoe-horn McAvoy into the youth set-up, would expect him to be off.

Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted May 31, 2017 Not the greatest track record for these guys, Wolves, Burnley and Rangers but it isn''t always fair to judge as recruitment guys can make all the recommendations they like, but if the manager ignores them then it doesn''t matter how good they are or not.Hope they have come with notebooks full of prospective players and Webber can start ''pushing the buttons'' he mentioned so much in the recent interviews.

Branston Pickle 3,652 Posted May 31, 2017 Pretty much agree Bethnal, they don''t really appear to have the most stunning of records, but that''s not to say they didn''t unearth some gems that weren''t fancied by their bosses. [Though that being the case, of course our previous encumbents could claim the same!]. Presumably they know Webber and his ways of working, so will hopefully hit the ground running.

Ginja 26 Posted May 31, 2017 Can''t be any worse than the idiots we had before who thought Kyle Lafferty as a good signing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted May 31, 2017 Well, if Scott worked at Rangers when they signed Joey Barton - he might be able to push whoever it was at Norwich who recommended Lafferty close.(Although on paper the Lafferty deal didn''t look awful at the time, he was pretty successful at Palermo, but goes to show the complexities of player recruitment) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 31, 2017 Must cost a fortune getting a sign writer in every time we lose a manager. The office doors must be wafer thin by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FCC 76 Posted May 31, 2017 Are these the best available or just friends of Weber? On the plus side - it should make Ray Wilkins happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Countryside Canary 0 Posted May 31, 2017 But I thought Delia was head of European Scouting? That''s how we got Chris Houghton and Neil Adams. Surely it will be a struggle for Chris Badlan to out do his predecessor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,086 Posted June 1, 2017 i do know the last scouting team had contacts around the world not just Europe but like people have said and it was true here last season if the Manager does not want / fancy the player or the case we sometimes didn''t have the money at the time scouts can only recommended players to the Manager not sign them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
