Fits in well with the profile of staff members having first names for surnames... Mark Robins, Dennis Lawrence, Aled Williams, Paul Travis, Paul Godfrey, Adi Viv(eash)

Seems to have very little experience in recruitment and has been poached from St. Albans?

Let's hope he can pull a few stunners out of the bag...

If he builds it, we will come. Probably to the Pirelli stadium.

He’s got a decent CV overall though, I’d imagine MR has been heavily involved in bringing him in.

"As of April 2022, Austin was studying on the FA's technical director course" according to Wiki.
Otherwise an OK CV, Watford the only real 'big' club, as an assistant (twice) but very poor managerial stint at Northampton, clearly that's not a role he wants again or is a fit for.
He was though head of recruitment and Southend, some decent players found there including Michael Kightly and Gary Hooper.

Anyone else worried our new Head of Recruitment's only recruitment experience is at Southend and St Albans?

Good player I seem to remember. He'll know the score...
Blooming heck, some of you guys are even scathing towards our new head of recruitment. Every window you guys become experts of players to bring in and let go and yet you have absolutely no connection to the game from a managerial point of view, yet you criticise this appointment.

He looks a lot like the Coventry born actor Clive Owen.

He might turn out great, but i think it's fair to question his lack of experience in recruitment roles.

Wants Southgate to stay, I’m out
(Not really I assume Robins has hired him and his LinkedIn says all the sorts of things you’d expect from a Robins signing)

Tough act to follow. As long as hes been watching games in all 5 divisions and europe/ has good networks - questions im sure that have been asked at interview. Relevant talent spotting grilling. Im sure MR has made right choice.

He was. If (if!) he still has contacts from the top clubs from his playing days, and knows lower leagues from his time since, then he can cover all bases pretty well in that respect.

I like St Albans. There's some lovely restaurants there.

Recruitment consultant at Blackpool. So we’ve essentially swapped Badlan for him

People focusing too much on his level of ability and not enough on the myriad of puns and wise crack opportunities his name offers.
Its a yes from me.
