Former Bristol City academy manager Tony Fawthrop has joined Everton as a scout.The popular former Ashton Gate manager left City at the end of September and will now be a key part in the Premiership club's operation in the south west, Wales and the south midlands.

Fawthrop revealed: "I have joined Everton as a scout for the south west of the country. I will also be working for Bath University as a consultant."

Fawthrop has linked up with his good friend John Laycock, the former City chairman, who is now chairman of Team Bath, who play in the Premier Division of the Southern League.

could lose a few youngster due to him, very good move by everton

My thoughts exactly.

Also from last nights paper;

'I will be working across the board from 8 years of age and up to get the best players for Everton'.

Fawthrop's association with Everton will put him in competition with City for all the best players in the west. He say's ' I know all the players at Bristol city of course. But we probably did our job a bit too well at City and tied them up a bit too tightly!'

It seems he left City as he didn't want to work full time. It also says he has things to do at Bath and he wanted to stay based in Bristol.

He's just the sort of experienced person we don't need in competition to us.

probably why there was all that fuss about the under-18s on the main site

its the last chance we'll have to see any of them before SL decides they "aren't going anywhere" or GJ reckons its best to loan them all out to Forest and play his sister and cousins in the team
