Turnbull gone..

[UnitedBlade]

The best scout we ever had must be Archie Clark.

Archie died nearly 50 years ago, so we need to start thinking about a new set-up.

 

[Bladeloyal]

Spoke. With a man city scout when Adkins brought in Turnbull, he told me then it was old pals act

 

[Sean Thornton]

It will be interesting to see if we get the same idiotic, melodramatic, foot stamping bullshit should Wilder go back and sign players that have played for him before.

You know, that thing that every single manager within football does.

Look, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Shit managers get sacked. Forum experts never do. Ergo.......

I dunno, wasn't Lenners sacked from this forum...?

Absolutely piss poor but unsurprising. Football's full of old pals acts.

At least Nigel will be able to take him with him to League Two.

Interesting point. Managers who keep surrounding themselves with people they've worked with in the past have a low self esteem and confidence. Any manager worth his salt and faith in his own ability can reach out to any group of employees and get the necessary results.

Can't be certain about this but when Alex Ferguson left Aberdeen to join Man United I'm sure that on the playing front he only signed Gordon Strachan.

Adkins talked a confident game but I don't believe he was totally comfortable with himself.

Without a pay off.

I think it's more to do with the fact that they know the players, know how they perform and how'd they fit into current teams.

Some players also play their best football under certain managers.

That's why virtually every manager does it.

Sometimes it works, like Brayford and Clough and Adkins and Sharp.

Sometime it doesn't, like Adkins and Hammond.


I'm doubtful it has anything to do with self confidence.

 

[Lord Bos of Eckington.]

I think the problem was that they did the strength and conditioning class just before kick off, so they were all knackered, except for Sharp, who wagged it and went for a fag behind the bike sheds instead.

Turnbull - Zumba classes.

 

[PeteBlade]

Without a pay off.

By the board too.

 

[Grappler]

Turnbull - Zumba classes.

Not only that, they made them wear blue and white as well, the ultimate insult

No rush is there? It's a marathon not a sprint.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

So Turnball has been paid for doing literally fuck all this last season?

 

[Railway Blade]

It's all part of the budgetary cutbacks. No need for a scouting network if you're not signing anybody

 

[Ricky]

Part of the 'restructuring' is having no scouts at all.

I think we're still many, many years away from signing any foreign based player.

Higdon?

Him and about 50 other fuckers.

UTB

 

[Kenilworth]

I thought that Turnbull was an adjective for Adkins pre and post match interviews

Wouldn't surprise me if Travis Binnon will be doing some scouting duties as he is part of the "Technical board". The U21s don't play on weekends and Derek Geary is in charge of the u18s

 

[Kenilworth]

. The U21s don't play on weekends and Derek Geary is in charge of the u18s

Good to know they have someone to look up to

 

[The Crab]

His visible, excellent contributions will be missed.

Might take a while to decide who will fetch the Coffes and Sarnies now though.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Under 21's not Under 12's !

 

[BusheyBlade]

Good to know they have someone to look up to

I can just imagine the comments as he gives his first motivational speech before a game: "Speak up gaffer", "Can someone get him a milk crate?"

Your need to post a smug comment means that as usual you miss the point. Yes, managers often sign players that have played for them before, however a good manager also understands that these players will also need to improve the team. A good manager doesn't just sign them because thay are old pals of his, despite them being well past their sell by date. Adkins brought in Hammond and Woolford, need I say more.

Sometimes smug is the only reasonable response to some of the bulllshit I read on here.

Adkins signed Hammon and Woolford purely because "they were old mates of his". I know you're obsessed with Adkins, but even the most obsessed can see that is complete toss.

Unfortunately they were complete toss.

 

[PeteBlade]

Unfortunately they were complete toss.

That I don't disagree with.

Signing them purely because they 'were old mates' is just nonsense.

 

[HermitageBlade]

If only we could deduct the total amount we paid Turnbull from Adkins pay off...that would seem fair.

 

[Russ]

Maybe 'club has decided don't actually need any scouts.

Instead just click on;

It's hard to know if Turnbull was good or bad.

If Sammon was done before they arrived
Hammond, Woolford and Sharp were Adkins' men
So that leaves Edgar (ok) and Baptiste (good)
