Ronaldo Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Brought in a few gems but the last few years have been garbage overall really. Time to move on. He didn't bring in any gems that anyone with half of brain couldn't have recognized, man. Cabaye, Ben Arfa and Debuchy - all 3 French internationals at a good age going for less than £6m.

sbnufc Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Went to Bordeaux and got Saivet (and Gouffran albeit way before), while the mackems got Khazri who looks 10x the player any of our recent signings look Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he watch the games on the same shite streams as I do, guessing at who's got the ball? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 He's never really been a scout, he just knows enough people to exploit contract situations and underpriced players. Perez is the only player close to being a discovery we've signed for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pons Alias Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I blame this man for our relegation. He's the football man Ashley has confidence in - the equivalent of Kinnear. He's a failed manager and a football dinosaur. McClaren was *his* choice, and the players brought in were *his* choice. Look at the character of the players signed since he arrived, and you see the cause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the character of the players signed since he arrived, and you see the cause. I blame the club not Carr. He should have been scout, use his contacts, etc. as part of an overall scouting network/strategy. Instead, we made him and pretty much him alone THE scouting network/strategy.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I think at first he was onto a winner, but if you rely completely on agents then eventually you'll have to start doing favours for them and they'll start pushing you duds. Also, it's not Carr's fault if nobody was saying 'find us a centre back and a fullback', it should be the manager who is empowered to decide on priority needs.

nortoon Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I base this on absolutely nothing. But I assume most clubs in the top leagues have a massive scouting system spanning most of the globe, certainly Europe and South America, with a plethora of scouts. We have Graham Carr watching Ligue 1 and Eredivisie, with 2 or 3 goons assisting him in other parts of the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man to blame is the man who decided to hire him and then give him an EIGHT year contract, with a huge remit, after one reasonable season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pons Alias Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Well of course you have to blame Ashley for everything ultimately, but Charnley is a lickspittle who just does the admin - he has no real influence. Carr makes the football decisions, from what I gather. As such, the tactics have been his. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
