blueroyals Can't say I'm surprised to see Steve Shorey depart after the quality of signings over the last 5 years

genome Agreed, we've been limited to UK recruitment for far too long. Apart from Anton Ferdinand, Danny Williams, Jure Travner, Yakubu, Daniel Carrico, Royston Drenthe, Pavel Pogrebnyak of course.

A scout only recommends players. A manager decides whether to sign them or not, for all we know Shorey might have spotted some great players.WoodleyRoyalblueroyals Can't say I'm surprised to see Steve Shorey depart after the quality of signings over the last 5 years
he is chief scout and is still at the club, this guy will be head of recruitment and will focus on European scouting where as Shorey is focused on domestic players.
But why not jump to conclusions

SCIAG Sad to see Steve Head go (I presume?), he was Reading through and through.
Our gambles under him most didn't come off, but then we didn't make many. We've largely switched from relying on cheap signings who overperform to filling gaps with Academy players.

72 bus It's a fukking great job to be fair.
You get to travel around europe watching football and having a great time confident in the knowlege that anyone you recommend won't be signed because the club do not have a pot to piss in.
As long as you suggest a couple of player a week scouted from your games of football manager you could probably dispense with going to the games at all and just go on the piss instead.

Royal Ginger With our cash issues as they are, would we not have been better off hiring the bloke who does the player ratings for Football Manager?
