    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

    Ah yes, but think of the money we saved in that period ...

    Nope no idea. I'm going to be cautious about this.

    His contract could be ripped up at any moment.

    Made me think of this appointment

    Just played 'Son of a Preacher Man' on magic, I thought he needs all the help he can get

    Just played Communication Breakdown on Absolute Rock. Made me think of .... well all of it really ...

    Never heard of him, but i'd never heard of Karel Fraeye either so......(gulp)

    If he is allowed to do his job properly, surely this will be a decent enough appointment.

    cart before the horse .. why employ a 'scout/recruiter' when the club hasn't a manager to decide who and what type of player he's keen to recruit ?

    Or he could resign at any moment.

    To be fair, a decent head of recruitment should be able to work with most head coaches/managers especially if we're going down the domestic route...

    Phil Chapple, for example came in during the Pardew years I think, but worked well with Powell

    Probably why Adkins has suddenly gone from 4/1 to 100/1:-)

    agreed .. BUT as you state, when Chapple was appointed there was a manager already in place, albeit one not to everyone's taste. You're not comparing similar situations.

    he did .. and it looks as though he's worked with lots of dfferent football organisations including the England international team .. he will certainly know his stuff .. my worry is that Head'll recommend players to Duchatelet who may well decide to take his advice and sign one or two or a few and then the new manager will be stuck with players who he might not fancy .. Head's appointment strikes me as a consultancy role rather than a scout/recruiter for the long term

    therein lies the rub

    I knew his brother, who was landlord of the Lamb and Flag pub in Hammersmith (and once had a trial at QPR)

    Dick?
    He was a horrible landlord, so yes ;-)

    So Katrien is giving us Head?

    DAMNIT!!!... You beat me by a minute

    EDIT: Hang on I've got one similar myself now... Maybe Katrien has miss-understood us again when during the protests she could hear fans shouting: We want head, we want head?
