Before buying a house, you check as much as you can. We do the same. We compile files on targets, we compare them, then use our data and reports to inform a decision.

KaKa Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 (edited) From one of the videos posted earlier he spoke about the work he did at Monaco to ensure talents at the club were being nurtured, and provided with a pathway into the first team. I think the academy is going to see a big improvement. This makes me wonder if there is any tie in with the news that broke yesterday of the two guys leaving Chelsea. Could that be tied into our hiring perhaps? Saw the below earlier, but not sure how seriously to take it. Possible Paul Mitchell hirings?

Kid Icarus Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 2 hours ago, Andy said: Like with Ashworth, I find it hard to get excited about any directorial appointment tbh. I'm sure the guy is good, but it seems to me like these people are often credited with work that they aren't necessarily directly involved in, especially when it comes to player identification and recruitment. Like I say, I'm sure he's competent, but the coverage this kind of appointment gets is always odd to me I think regardless of direct involvement, even if it's indirect involvement through oversight or proximity or luck, if there's a good record of player recruitment wherever you've been it can only be a good sign imo.

NE27 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Didn't know much of him till I seen his name floating around when Ashworth said he was fucking off. Said the right things, record at other clubs ticks boxes and more importantly, gets our project back on track. Welcome Paul Mitchell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the most important part is the network they know outside the club they represent. And this guy seemingly has a very very very expansive network.

Tiresias Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I do wonder why a lot seem to think sporting directors are searching through forests finding unknown players in the wild, that's what teh scouts do...it's more surely negotiation and good links with agents etc that makes a difference...
