Guest michaelfoster Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Swansea recruit Newcastle scout Lil Fuccillo has moved from his role as chief scout at Newcastle United to take up the equivalent position at Championship rivals Swansea City. The ex-Luton and Peterborough player and manager takes the post immediately. The Swans have been keen to replace their highly rated former scout Kevin Reeves, who followed ex-manager Roberto Martinez to Wigan in the summer. "[Fuccillo's] appointment is the missing link we've been trying to fill," said Swans chairman Huw Jenkins. "To secure the services of someone with Lil's knowledge, experience, contacts and network of scouts is a massive plus for the club," he told the Swansea City website. "He will work closely with [manager] Paulo [sousa] on player recruitment and match scouting. "We realise the importance of the role and it was crucial we brought in the right person for the job."

Guest Heneage Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Did he find anyone? With a name like his I'd imagine he may have suggested Zamblera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzle Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Makes sense. We don't buy players, why bother with scouts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stephen927 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Did he find anyone? With a name like his I'd imagine he may have suggested Zamblera. Blatant racism. Can't really say what kind of work he did behind the scenes, so I'm not too fussed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Did he find anyone? With a name like his I'd imagine he may have suggested Zamblera. If he suggested Zamblera then it's probably for the best that he's fucked off to Swansea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Sbragia Scottish? Not sure cos last time I heard him speak he was almost crying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beezeri Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I wouldn't mind us changing our whole scouting team as the recent results haven't been very impressive! Fucillo surely wasn't responsible for sigining players such as Enrique, Bassong, Kadar and Vuckic etc... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Did he find anyone? With a name like his I'd imagine he may have suggested Zamblera. MY FUCKING WORD!!!! He was not even working for the club when we signed him. I think it would be safe to say that Fabio like Ole Soderberg were down to Jeff Vetere. Lil may speak the lingo & his parents are Italian but the former Luton midfielder is English. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UV Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO First Damien Duff, now this This is me done with Newcastle United. The final straw... Wake up grandad, this is the new NUFC. We're leading the way in the next generation of football clubs. We don't need any of those old fashioned ideas of having scouts, coaches, a manager, a chairman who knows anything about football, or a permanent playing staff. That's so passée. All you need is an MD and an agency to sell the players you have and hire loanee players for you and you're sorted. The club's never been in better shape.
