Jeff Vetere - what's he doing now?

cafcfan

I ask this question because he was at The Valley for the Fulham game and also parked up in the West Stand car park today.

His last public job was Chief Scout at Villa in 2010 with Martin O'Neill. Not sure if he is still there.

Not surprising, he gets a lot of respect from Curbs.

Looking at one of our players no doubt

I spotted Jeff in the main reception on Saturday - couldn't tell if he was scouting or if working for us again. Last I heard he was at Fulham but that was over a year ago

He was in the Millenium lounge chatting to a few people at the Peterborough game too.

With all of 'arry's signings this week, I imagine he's been busy recently!

We don't need him, we've got Driesen.

Jeff is actually immensely well respected within football. Encyclopaedic knowledge of players and very well connected

In the words of the Oak furniture land tv ad, there's no Vetere, in 'ere.

Last season was in the Millennium Lounge on a regular basis. Seemed friendly with quite a few people in there.

I thought he was still doing his Prince tribute act

He was in the directors box same row as Sandgaards son today 🤷‍♂️

Interesting.  He was around at the time of the Spivs wasn't he?  No idea of his input but our recruitment then was excellent.

He played no role in that recruitment, which is also the reason he left.

Didn't he have something to do with the Alonso deal?

That seems harsh!

Swisdom

Damn.  He was meant to be entertaining me at the new Spurs stadium so I guess that’s out the window now!

he was scouting Miles for them recently so I’m kind of glad he’s off the scene for now
