Luke Griffin (Rovers Head of European Scouting) also off this summer.

 

So that's no UK or international scouting at the moment, may as well close this thread for now

Rovers do have an advert posted in linkedin for Head of International Scouting, which I guess replaces the Head of European Scouting and gives that slight hope (which will likely not come to fruition) that Rovers may sign a load of South Korean or Japanese wonderkids for next to nothing

Not having a go at the individual but given the recruitment delivery, or should I say non-delivery, I’m not sure what they have to be proud about 🙈

Probably something to do with Wharton. 

[TheRevAshton]

It’ll turn out to be something small and largely irrelevant, which will likely have no impact on improving the playing staff… which realistically, is all that we really want.

That podcast think ‘The Venky’s’ are marvellous so presumably it will be another episode in which they blow smoke up their collective arses.

"Good news" and Venkys depends on which side of the table you sit on.

For me good news would be active steps to leave the club, nothing more or less, and that's all there is to it.

I suspect for most others still clinging to hope or even worse are of the view that these repulsive people are good for Rovers then "good news" probably means something trivial like the potential for a few quid to possibly get put into the transfer kitty (until someone conveniently makes a hash of it anyway)

Personally I've no interest in such stuff because I think we are past that stage now and as above even if there is a possibility of money being spent it will no doubt be torpedoed by some bizarre series of nonsensical events at Brockhall.

Good thing that Burnley are looking for a new manager 

[ABRAM ROVER]

Possibly about more rumours of Wharton to Bayern but surely that would be covered under palace news. 🤔

It's worrying to see our scouting department decimated again - it was practically non-existent when Mowbray arrived and, in fairness to him, he worked with his team to reestablish it.

Feels like a cost-cutting exercise...

I'm not 100% but I think the recruitment people who are leaving/left joined the club the summer Mowbray left.When Broughton had come in or just before that 

[ABRAM ROVER]

Isn't it just a case of new head scout is coming in and has his own team? 

Minus Szmodics and Hyam (who we paid millions for) you have to question what they have done.

And when it comes to Rovers they talk total bollocks.

Yes. Wants a new challenge. Plus we know 2 months ago. Makes me wonder how many signings he put forward for us sign but we didn't.

A complete overhaul of the scouting department could be a real positive. Supposedly we’ve been stuck on the same player lists for every window in recent memory, so hopefully this will represent a clean slate. Our permanent signings over the last couple of years have been very hit and miss, and our loan business has been diabolical.

As long as we get replacements in in a timely fashion I don’t think the current exodus is much of a concern.

I agree our loans signings have been very poor. Think Morton, Chrisene and Ayari were the best we done..

The lack of good striker had cost us massively over the last 2 seasons plus JDT not getting the best out of Hirst either who proved himself at this level
