    Seen Leeson a few times for the u23s and he looks very decent going forward. Certainly offered a lot more than Kane Wilson did in that respect.

    In his 2 appearances ?

  2. The concept of bidding and rejections is strange, don’t the respective CEO’s just pick up the phone and say “We want x player for £1M” the reply being “no thanks” surely they then just converse and negotiate until verbally agreed, then an official document is sent confirming what was agreed verbally? 
     

    I don’t get the seemingly lack of communication between the decision makers. A lot of the time these same people have been highly successful in their business life, do they just forget all this when running a football club and employ people not capable of picking up a telephone?!

    Haha.

    As you’ll know from the pinned thread, @Harry and a small group of us pitched to Gould and Gilhespy last year about providing Scouting for the club.  We (mainly Harry and one other guy - not on OTIB) had several meetings but it didn’t come to fruition.  We passed on players to them to put through their process.  I think if Gould was still here there would still be a relationship to grow.

    I’m sure Harry won’t mind me saying that earlier this year he and the other guy started having conversations with another club and they got close to signing an agreement (things like expenses, future commission if a recommended player got sold in future, etc, etc), and the Head of Recruitment lost his job a week later!  So that didn’t work out.

    There is another iron in the fire, email tennis at the mo’.

    The other guys are the drivers though, I’m more data than eyes, supporting how I can.

    I’m not looking for a career.  If I have the skills football might want 1) I’m too old and 2) football doesn’t pay.  Of course if under the new work permit rules someone would like to send me to Oz to scout the A-League that would be very different!

    Seriously though, I just enjoy football.  I like my day-job too…and it pays!!!
