Badlan has gone from Head of Recruitment with us to Sporting Director at Blackpool. Looks like a step up from his role with us.

Yeah not sure why it’s trying to be spun into a positive and signs of an planned shake up.Badlan has gone from Head of Recruitment with us to Sporting Director at Blackpool. Looks like a step up from his role with us.
Surely any database of players is CCFC IP? That’s been standard anywhere I’ve worked. But I seem to recall something about a previous scout taking theirs with them or something?
New scouting network to be set up
Mowbray confirmed today the club is currently without any scouts. The ones employed by Steven Pressley are no longer employed by the club. He told the Diamond Club talk last night that he would look at using the Scout 7 system next season which would see a database utilised.
"There are no scouts and no database of players. Wherever I have been before whenever I have left that database stays with the club."
It wouldn't be hard to set up a system going from the academy leagues to wherever, which would give objective measurements.
Everything else is just subjective.
That’s basically the data scouting services isn’t it?

That would be good for identifying targets, though I guess it would mean everyone would identify the same targets using the same metrics.It wouldn't be hard to set up a system going from the academy leagues to wherever, which would give objective measurements.

Still need good old fashioned scouting to see their style or play and if they'd 'fit in', as well as doing some background on personality, behaviour and discipline etc.
I think most League One clubs would kill for the kind of poor recruitment we had from Badlan over the past five years.Oh dear.
It won't be long until those same people/wannabe mates of his who were apologists for our poor recruitment are along to defend him.
Just sack the bloke we've got in to replace him for the hell of it?Should we get him back for the summer recruitment drive

Rumor has it that he never knew the name of our home stadiumApparently he referred to the Armfield Club as The Arndale. Went down like a cup of cold sick.
Don’t get the hate towards him. Yes we had some shockers but he was searching in the bargain basement, for predominately free or loans, bound to have some stinkers. The only players we have paid a significant fee for were Hamer and Gyokeres which shows what he could produce with a proper budget. Sure I remember reading how he tracked Hamer for a couple of years. Obviously knows his stuff.
Read the post again you thick c**tDid he sign Kastaneer, Da Costa and Hillsner as well Perry? Sounds like his an Andy Thorn type of scout to me

Bear in mind I’m not saying this because I’m a CCFC fan who’s largely enjoyed the last few years; I’m probably only saying it because I want to be Chris Badlan’s best mate.

This is all circular.
A couple of years ago I made reference to us following the “Brentford Model” - where we buy decent prospects in their early 20’s and develop.
I got called out and referred people to a Dave Boddy podcast on the subject.
Anyhoo
Gyok, O’Hare, Sheaf, Hamer fit the model and are wins in that regard. Walker, Hillsner, Baka, Allasani, not so.
The key is, did Badlan have more wins than failures?
