All purchases are luck. Think Gary Collier, think Keith Drinkell, think Craig Bellamy. No guarantees."As a club, we have identified player recruitment as a weakness, "
Another dig at Venus perhaps?
Then again, when Presley left it was alleged that he 'stole' the scouting system, so it does date back sometime that we've failed in that area, bar the one 'lucky' window we had with getting Murphy, Armstrong and Kent, but I still say that was luck rather than us knowing they'd do as well as they did

Good luck to Widdrington and well done the club for supporting the manager.
Time to get behind Coventry City or go and do what you do on a Saturday afternoon. Not aimed at you SW88
In fairness Drinkell and Bellamy came with good reputations. In particular Bellamy wasn't a terrible signing per se, just not the player we needed.All purchases are luck. Think Gary Collier, think Keith Drinkell, think Craig Bellamy. No guarantees.

If I remember didn't Pressley complain at a fans forum that there was no scouting system in place and then got one going?"As a club, we have identified player recruitment as a weakness, "

Basically flog whatever player we can,for whatever price can get and look at non league crap,cutting cloth according..next season another season of struggle..
Sounds like a good appointment. Does beg the question, why didn't mowbray or Venus* sort this earlier given they mentioned it enough times.
*not included Slade as he was always just a short term appointment until the end of the season.

Rightly so the recruitment has been shockingThe bit about a 'working department' seems a dig at MV

about time too.This would suggest we might be scouring the non league for talent...and good...
Yeah, so signing players from the league below won't be that much of a problemYou know what,you are right..how silly of me not to know this,oh well at least you'll be safe in the knowledge knowing this when we are heading out of the leagues next season altogether,we never had a board hellbent on destroying us back then either,but we were playing top flight football back then,not 4TH DIVISION,i mean league 2..

Kevin (not Keith) Drinkell should have been an excellent player for us, but was crocked when he came here IIRCNot taken personally
Out of those names mentioned, I only know Bellamy, and what a cock he turned out to be
Let's hope we find more Robbie Keanes than we do Bellamy's!!

Overhead kick on his debut I recall....Kevin (not Keith) Drinkell should have been an excellent player for us, but was crocked when he came here IIRC
No offence meant, but the proof certainly isn't in the pudding.Wonder if he has to sell houses at the weekend? I have no real opinion on this one other than the proof is certainly in the pudding!
Waggot was doing it ahead of TM's permanent appointment. Maybe it was another undelivered promise. Was also supposed to happen under SP which seems to have meant that SP went to Currys and splashed out on a new laptop.
