Lee Turnbull appears to be leaving as well...

[Ricky]

Don't see why this is necessary.

 

[sitwell]

Agree ,a good scout should be able to work with any managers requirements.

Well what a waste of money that was.

Clue for you there.

 

[Ben_1982]

What has he actually done tho, fuck all

 

[Highbury_Blade]

Perhaps Wilder has his own man he wants to bring in.

 

[sitwell]

The Chief scout role does appear to be a job for the boys at every club.

 

[super_pig]

are hammond, sammon. flynn, mceveley, edgar leaving as well..just askin' like

 

[SwissBlade]

Some would say that Turnbull never actually arrived...

 

[Smirth]

Because he's contributed absolutely fuck all since Adkins insisted we push the boat out for him?

 

[Cyprus Blade]

We never learn. So the whole shooting match has to change again on the manager-go-round that is Sheffield United. To be fair I don't think Turnbull had a chance with the bloated squad we had. Baptiste was an ok signing.

 

[Ricky]

As said, a chief scout should be independent of the manager. He should work for the club.

We've not even signed a single player he's recommended. The club point blank refused to sign anyone in January.

We don't know whether he's any good or not.

How does it make sense to get rid of him?

 

[Worksop II]

If we have no intention of signing anyone ..... why have Scout ?

Totally agree, Chief Scout should work for the club.

Swansea, Southampton and Stoke all do it this way.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Does it mention him on the OS statement?

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Perhaps Wilder has his own man he wants to bring in.

Alan Knill will join as well I guess ....

 

[Maidenhead]

Adkins brought him in and McCabe was openly critical of him at the fans forum so no surprises here

Wonder where we stand the the players we've signed pre contracts with? If true you'd expect Turnbulls input there.

Hopefully they're good players who Wilder will be happy to sign. Adkins apparently wanted athletic younger players so you'd think there'd be a good chance Wilder will want them.

We could really do with that being the case because we need a head start in the transfer market.

Then if they are good players who Wilder also wants, then why get rid of Turnbull?

I've said on another thread his name didn't appear on the OS statement but there's always the chance that Biggs has become itk for the first time ever.

Alan Biggs is about as ITK as my dog* when it comes to Blades info.



* I don't even have a dog

 

[S1blade]

Would love to know what happened in the JTW. Did McCabe not open the chequebook, or did Adkins and Turnbull fail to locate and recruit a single affordable player? Either's possible, sadly.

athletic young players? why did he want hammond then? cheerleader?

 

[Harry's Game]

Anyone going to the next fans forum please ask McBullshit how much this debacle has cost?

 

[Esablade]

I think Chris ( as I call him) has always been pretty hands on re: recruitment/scouting, probably through necessity...no bad thing knowing the region/players...

Having said that, he did try to sign me once upon a time, make of that what you will
