  • Worked with Nigel Adkins before.
  • Worked with pretty much everyone before

    Must like odd regimes, was to be appointed the Leeds Head Scout last summer by their nutjob owner changed his mind as Round had a holiday booked he wanted to keep
  • Seems to have decent experience, good luck to him - difficult job in his hands.

  • was told this a couple of days ago but that he would be announced after a new manager was appointed. Have I missed that bit of news?
  • Doesn't seem a bad appointment on the face of it, has experience of opposition scouting which we have been woeful at for sometime.

    Head has the best CV out of that lot. Can't even find anything on Keith Burke?
  • Question, as always, is why would anyone with options come to us at the moment, especially when the CEO and owner constantly interfere with signings? Assume he must have been given assurances but presume he did not need them in writing?

    Didn't he go around robbing graveyards with some bloke called Hare? Or was that a different network club?
  • At the moment it's just a name in a role, proof will be in the outcome. We had an experienced Uk Head Scout with a strong network of contacts, and he left because he wasn't being listened to and the Club's lead on these things was decided in Belgium.

    We've now replaced him five months later, with someone of a similar background and experience to the one who left.

    Let's see what influence he gets allowed, and what impact that has

    More like 9 months

    Taking a holiday during the season wouldn't have been a problem for Katrien
    He'd find her at the Airport waiting for him!!

  • Good appointment if he is allowed to get on with his job.
  • I knew his brother, who was landlord of the Lamb and Flag pub in Hammersmith (and once had a trial at QPR)

    The Head of Recruitment doesn't sign players - their role is to scout and to make the initial contact with any targets identified by the Head Coach/Manager.

    Perhaps he means David Burke (ex Brighton and Derby) who was linked with us ?
  • Experience gained whilst working for England might be useful, especially as RD likes cheap foreign players. His work history doesn't suggest he'll stay long.

    We know. That's Roly's job.

    Roly also does this job as well.
