    Chapple is a really engaging bloke to talk to actually. His knowledge is encyclopaedic but if Big Bob had his preferences he would overrule Chapple.

    Well that's how it should be, right? Aren't we complaining that the head coach in this system isn't allowed to choose his players?

    Doubt it, in that video I posted he said last year we only had one scout based abroad, and that was on a part time basis.

    I can't believe Roly would keep paying him to do nothing.

    Why not. He pays the first team squad to do the very same!

    Eagles and Johnson brought into the squad over the last 2/3 weeks. Were they on Chapple's short list? If yes, has the penny dropped with Meire that Championship experience players are needed and to make more use of your chief scout.

    I hope it is credit for him otherwise what's he doing?

    Mind you he can hardly have watched roger Johnson as he hasn't been playing for well over a year. With Eagles that may have been one of his recommendations but he's hasn't really unearthed a gem. Or has he and I'm just unaware of him.

    Yes, Johnson and Eagles are hardly punts as both are experienced and well known players, and being free agents, the club had plenty of time to see them at close quarters first

    I scout for a league 1 team. Unpaid. Just expenses and a ticket. It's not difficult.

    Give it a rest.

    You haven't got a clue how many players he has recommended who haven't been bought for whatever reason but now you want to pretend that our UK scout was responsible for Belgium based Lepoint because it suits your bizarre campaign against him.

    I was joking with Lepoint. I was being sarcastic as he has hardly featured since he was purchased. I have no agenda with Phil chapple.

    Yep, it's true. If we haven't signed anyone for the first team then it means that our scouts are doing absolutely fuck all.

    Nobody is looking at the opposition. Nobody is recruiting for the academy.
    Nobody is looking at potential signings, should the cash or opportunity become available.

    Let's sack them all.

    Honestly, in this day and age where so much information is available at your fingertips the moronic stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me.

    Acworth recommended both Eagles and Johnson. He's our real chief scout now he's no longer spending his time (and money) interviewing mad frankie
