Have i missed our new chief scout announcement

[larkymasher]

7 days ago we were told our brand new chief scout was done and dusted and would be made public in 3/4 days.

What is the delay this time?

Is it 'Bob a Job" week ?

 

[Barney]

We're just waiting on the chief scout's scout to get over the line then he can stamp his approval on the chief scout.

Should be announced in 2/3 days. So it'll be announced in 2 weeks.

Woody has demanded a press conference with live TV coverage and Reuters in attendance. The appointment has been delayed so as to make the necessary arrangements.

 

[wizadry]

No you haven't missed it.

I'm not too sure there has been a delay, I thought CW said we've got a chief scout but aren't announcing it yet? I didn't think any timescale was given, I could be wrong and normally am.

 

[Harry's Game]

No he's on holiday.

I wonder if P**l M******l is contracted with C**********d until June 30th?

Maybe an announcement Friday?

Its the rest of the friendlies (U21/U18) I`m waiting for, we`ll be playing em soon!

 

[dingledog]

We lost him in the referendum, it was a straight leave or remain.

I'm not saying it was Paul Mitchell, however there was someone who looked quite similar to him in The Psalter on Monday night with Chris Wilder, Alan Knill, and Darren Ward as well as a fair few other people

I put his announcement photo up on another thread

 

[St Annington]

Paul Mitchell the ex-Chesterfield scout is the big rumour. Although he has various offers on the table. He wen't to see his daughter in Dubai and wan't sure when he was coming back. Maybe he has accepted the job verbally but isn't back in the country yet?

Stop panicking. Kev has bought Scott and Simon the latest Football Manager which is all we need to find the two players we'll sign before the start of the season. Why waste money on a scout?

Ironically if we had used Football Manager over the last few seasons we couldn't have done any worse, probably better.

No announcement does not mean no appointment

No announcement breeds uncertainty with supporters, at a time when we want to see things moving forward.

Really? toys out of the pram about us not announcing a scout?

 

[Grappler]

Hope it's not Roy Hodgson

We could have used FIFA 16 and still found better players.

Granted it doesn't really worry you, but others i am sure it does.

I really don't get this slagging off of Football Manager and it uses in scouting, especially as quite a few top clubs already use it as part of their scouting network.

As for the chief scout, I'm sure I heard Wilder say it was sorted just not announced in a recent interview.

 

[Kenilworth]

I can imagine that it may not have been announced so that he can get about his business without interference or someone following him around to instigate rumours on who we might be negotiating with.
Not that I am ITK or owt but it would seem a sensible policy to me - we don't need to announce an appointment until after the work has been done and dusted and players are in the hutch.

 

[I should coco]

I can see people are getting a bit upset with this so I'll try to help.

One of our dogs is called 'Scout' (she came from the Nag's Head near Kinder Scout). We have two dogs and she is the oldest, so probably qualifies as in charge, or 'Chief' if you like.

Here is a picture of her as a pup in the Nag's Head


I know people like kittens and puppies, so hope that is a help to anyone who is getting bit incy.

But if a tree falls in the forest with no one there?....

Yeah it makes me laugh too. Football manager employ 10,000 scouts. We employ 0

Isn't our new scout on gardening leave?

Announcements before they can be announced breeds lawsuits and big legal bills!

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

It's still timber!

I think our last one was, we signed quite a few Cabbages.
