Hog 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Has Roeder not learnt from Grunts mistakes, Gunn was in charge then and look where his extensive contacts got us, Murray, Lappin, Strihavka......etc Although I have the utmost respect for Gunny I must admit to being a little disappointed at this news Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Huddy 0 Posted May 23, 2008 I have to say i''m not particularly convinced, but if you think of his contacts he should be ok, i doubt he had a huge say under grant, and rememeber he''s now the main scout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Ink 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Oh no! More lightweight Jocks coming our way. I''m a bit disappointed at this news as well. Sure Gunny has ambassadorial roles to play and does this well, but Chief Scout?I just hope this summers targets, plus many backups are already identified.

Show Me What You Gooot! 0 Posted May 23, 2008 I do think alot of the Scottish players were Grants finds, not Gunns.I have no probs with players from Scotland, as long as they can do the job. Lets be honest Grant didn''t exactly have a great eye for a player and the ones we picked up probably just happened to be the worst of the worst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunn was responsible for bringing Cureton to the club. If you remember, Curo was in talks with Hull when Gunny rang to offer him a move to Norwich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manbearpig 0 Posted May 24, 2008 Gunny wasn''t responsible for all the signings he was only a liaison officer, 1 deal he worked very hard on was to convince Fergie to loan us Ryan Shawcross only to fall through cos grant wouldn''t guarantee first team football, what a balls up that was cos he had a fantastic season with stoke and scored nearly 10 goals not bad as hes a defender.
