hoxton casual Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 The underwhelming recruitment of this window makes me wonder? https://www.bcfc.co.uk/teams/first-team-staff/ No-one listed on here in any capacity. Its a big job and I wonder who is doing it? Pretty poor if we don't have anyone or is it a secret? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hand of RO'D Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 We need to be looking at poaching Brentford’s scouting set up. Same philosophy as ours but executed a million times better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilksi Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 https://uk.linkedin.com/in/mervyn-day-095155125 Head of Scouting Bristol City Football Club July 2017 – Present (1 year 2 months)Bristol, United Kingdom International Scout Bristol City Football Club October 2015 – June 2017 (1 year 9 months)Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom International Scout, mainly concentrating on Spain Interesting that he was the international scout focusing on Spain for 21 months. did we end up signing anyone from Spain in this time frame? How do you go from International scout, your club doesn't buy anyone from the area you are concentrating on, to Head of Scouting?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Looking at Day and then a bit further in. Seemed we had Matthieu Louis Jean as International scout- or an International Scout-from July 2015-June 2016. Wonder if the club just merged/amalgamated the roles and gave Mervyn Day the ultimate responsibility. Not uncommon in business- not terribly advisable in football though IMO. MLJ I think was the one who identified Kodjia btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd make sense- the French English football Connection. Have we replaced MLJ properly yet though? Or does Day have his responsibilities on top of general scouting? Seems an interesting structure... @hoxton casual LinkedIn (unless they aren't really on LinkedIn) suggests our scouting ops in a more senior sense consists of the following: Mervyn Day Lil Fuccillo Could also argue that Sam Stanton, our current Head of Analysis crosses over with this a bit in some duties?

hoxton casual Posted August 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Is the fact that our scouting never gets talked about after the debacle of hiring the guy from Bournemouth, the fact that it is a shambles, or we have some top secret 007 organisation working on our behalf, and they would have to kill us if they told us?

Ivorguy Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 I think we are beginning to realise that the much vaunted backroom infra structure is decidedly below par. Perhaps LJ agrees with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
