Unbelievable!
TM says... “We’re trying but it’s not easy and the buck stops here on that one because there’s no scouting department or database of footballers we can say ‘right, why don’t we ask about him, we’ve got reports on him and everyone likes him; he’s not in their team so let’s go and ask.’

Everytime this gets mentioned I bring up the fact that Pressley said this season has said we DO have scouts, not sure what has happened to them though if they are not still there.

I thought this was one of the pointers to show that the footballing side was moving forward - a bigger and better scouting network under SP.
Look at the quotes I posted from this season, apparently we had a head of recruitment and around 7 scouts. So no idea whats happened there and why they are no longer here.He did say that side needed developing, mind you.
And if the answer's zero, it certainly does!
Also does go some way to:
a) explaining why Pressley seemingly never slept going to games and the like and
b) why we get utter dross!
and slowly but surely we’re creating a database.
Either Pressley/Mowbray are lying which doesn't seem likely or its completely disappeared in the last few months.

I know of a ex player asked by SW to scout for the club down south,,,,, wages were, pence per mile covered and the rest for the love of the club.. Now if i was a scout and were told this, my first thought would be if you couldn't afford me how can you afford players i recommend,, waste of time and effort..I know most will doubt this or ask who the player was, i won't say who and don't expect all to believe but this us the truth..
We are poorly ran and through some luck with cup draws and certain players stepping up we have managed to get by,, for how long this can continue is anyone's guess.. Also look at TM comments about Haynes, being not ready he and Maddison will be burnt out or damaged if the club doesn't sort this situation out...

If he's anything like me, he'll have taken his databse with him
Bring back Andy Thorn. He was a class act as a Scout! Spotted some great talent in Dann, Fox, Gunnarson and Westwood.

Yep, I'm sure we were told by SP that this was sorted.
That's a relief. I'd be pissed off if we'd paid somebody to scout some of this dross
Dann and Fox signed for the club when Thorn was employed at Fulham. Still never let an urban myth get in the way.
Gunnarson had nothing to do with thorn and Westwood was league one goalkeeper of the year and cost £750,000.
Thorn has publically admitted to only signing one player - David Bell
Reading TM's interview today SP took all the data with him when he left and scouts worked for him personally. TM said whenever he left a club this data was always left for the next manager!!!!
The bottom bit reads like an open invite for scoutsMore words from TM.. yep he confirms that the current 'system' is a pigs ear.

It seems like a dig at the club, one scout for the Midlands, then SP expanded it...now they are gone? That says SP expanded a dire system off his own bat? The club didn't, that is why there is now no system....what are TF and SW doing...no scouting system in the infra structure of the club.....no wonder we have signed any dross that any agent can off load onto us.Seems a bit of a dig towards Pressley as well here 'I didn’t have it on a USB and take it with me and say, you’re not having that.'
