Have or Had?

Nick Barnes knows nothing , he never seems to know what’s going on at the club
I did marra.
We splashed out £3m on Grigg. That would have got us one hell of scouting set up!All well and good when you can afford to spend millions on scouts, we can't even spend half a million on a player ....
In January?Wasn't Coton sick for awhile? So we more less had no scouts at all!
You need scouts to function as a club. You need them to look out for new players. But also for young players for your academy and scouts to look at opposition teams. It's bad enough Donald doesn't like stats but no scouts is madness!
If this is true we are an embarrassment. The biggest budget in the league and the most professional club in League One history my arse!

Then we are surprised when we buy absolute shite and coton is going speed dating with agents.
Ross will have leaked this to journos, self preservation. Questions should be asked of the owners though surely
We could have used that money then for the scouting set up.In January?
No. Lad i know was talking to Coton on the day of the game. I explained it all n fair enough people thought i was bullshitting. That happens. 4 scouts on £50k salary Coton got told, rest of the £500 k budget goes on the scouting system/network.It came from you via a discussion with Coton right?
Just doesn't seem to make sense. A) that's more than the transfer budget B) why you would spend a bulk sum.
Possibly 5 full-time scouts on 100k?
Recruiting could have been better.
But that said, the players we have are more than good enough to get us up and out of this shite league imo.
Ross employed poor tactics and did not get the best out of the players.
That was the primary problem.
Said he wasnt the one interviewing him.
I think you're being a bit of a hindsight expert here like, in January not one person would have wanted to do that.We could have used that money then for the scouting set up.
If true that is totally unforgivable. A whole year+ without scouts
Do we buy absolute shite, or have a squad the envy of the league? Can’t be both, surely?
Only one year??? I doubt we've had any scouts for the last decade.
Those scouts tout their recommendations to the club whose prepared to pay the highest commission should the players make itWe've been using freelance scouts who take a commission based on if we sign their recommendations, not exactly "no scouts" and you can see why it's been cut as we were skint.
On the other hand it's easy to see why it was hard if we just used subcontractors instead of having some regular staff.
They are just getting the piss ripped out of them, and they said those days were over!that’s what I don’t understand. It’s either give him a job making money for doing nowt or, more likely, they just don’t know what they’re doing!
