Not when this arsehole is the manager it doesn't.
What makes Carr this "super" scout ? because we got a bargain in Cabaye, brought in Sissoko on the cheap before his contract ran down and a few promising youngsters in Haidara and Perez ? There's really not much else of note on his resume, remember the team he's helped to build has finished 16th, 10th and 15th in the last 3 season (under awful management but still there has been an acknowledgment that the squad has simply not been good enough). Is this really better than the scouting they have at clubs like Southampton, Swansea, Crystal Palace or any other club that finished way above us last year.
"Jobs for the boys" very rarely if ever works.
Carr isn't going anywhere though, so you might as well bring in someone that will work with him, surely?!
IMO Carr has done a good job getting players in, and it's a damn shame they haven't been used properly for the most part.
A chief scout is far less important than a good manager. If needs be peddle him and get a chief scout in who is willing to work for the good of the club rather than getting his mates a job.
