The whole world smiles Posted 9 August 2016 Posted 9 August 2016 Signed wanyama and lovran at saints and signed wimmer, alderwierld, dier and Alli at spur, yes you'll do for me
EnglishOxide Posted 9 August 2016 Posted 9 August 2016 Is it true that Rob Mackenzie has gone to Derby and linked up with Nige?
Sionnach gorm Posted 9 August 2016 Posted 9 August 2016 Why did I think Paul Mitchell was a hairdresser?
benpicko Posted 10 August 2016 Posted 10 August 2016 Yes ****ing please Pretty much every source mentioning his resignation also mentions that we're in for him as well so hopefully
whitlock Posted 10 August 2016 Posted 10 August 2016 Could be lazy journalism too. He's off from Spurs and we have no head scout currently...

Babylon Posted 10 August 2016 Posted 10 August 2016 If this is true, fair play to the owners. Whether he works out is another matter, but once again they look to be doing things correctly. It was a worry that the papers thought Rudkin could over see things without experience in that field. Just as they did when they kept on Walsh and Shakespeare, they make some very well thought out decisions.
Jon the Hat Posted 10 August 2016 Posted 10 August 2016 Would be good to see we could attract talent off the field.
LanguedocFox Posted 10 August 2016 Posted 10 August 2016 This article in the Guardian more or less confirms the background, but doesn't mention Mackenzie: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/aug/09/tottenham-head-of-recruitment-paul-mitchell-quits-nightmare. Interesting times.
GazzinderFox Posted 10 August 2016 Posted 10 August 2016 Would be a good fit for us I think if it happens. Great to see us nicking talent off a so called bigger club too.
Nick Posted 10 August 2016 Posted 10 August 2016 I do like this - there's a relatively interesting bespoke market here that's growing in wealth and significance - what's interesting is big teams poach low level tech guys from smaller teams like Arsenal did to us and now seemingly there's a route from Chief Scout to Director Of Football evident from Walsh going to Everton and now seemingly opportunity for slightly smaller but wealthy clubs to offer more to their Chief Scout than they are being paid at supposed bigger clubs. Did these staff get really valuable really quickly or are they a neglected area of clubs in terms of renumeration and value?

A bit expensive, but you get what you pay for. The son's a bit moody, and spends loads of time on his phone playing Pokemon Go, but they got the job done in no time. They also brought their own coffee and chocolate biscuits, which was a relief.
El bastardo Posted 10 August 2016 Posted 10 August 2016 hello gentlemen, its your favourite resident yido back from his ban! thought you lot might have something to say about this one, so here is the insight from our side of things... firstly, you have not poached him from spurs, he's served notice, as by all accounts, he's had disagreements with the hirachy at spurs, who apparently haven't been too pleased with him. rumours coming out that he's been pissing off staff and agents and negotiating not in line with how we normally do business. all hearsay mind, but his impact on signings incoming hasn't been what was expected allegdly, and some of the players quoted that he brought in were not his. alli was recommended by pleat, wimmer was by the other chap who left mackenzie, up until which point yesterday, i wasn't aware of him even being with us. we are not worrying about this at all, and certainly not in the same way that yous lot were having kittens about walsh leaving. people in these types of roles are ten a penny, he'll be replaced, which is why i didn't understand everyone on your board being up in arms about walsh going. these players still exist, everyone is after the same players these days anyway.

Yeah, we were fighting off hoards of teams to sign Riyad and Kante.... And quite frankly, that mentality might give an insight as to why we had the players to win the league and why you faded away...
foxinsocks Posted 10 August 2016 Posted 10 August 2016 I worry about the spurs thing... np (who i did not like ) built a sqad of hard working players with positive outlook so they dont give up. Spurs players are bottlers.... they will not win now because of self doubt. If this is all true then i hope he qualifies and any targets in terms of disposition ....

Mitchell?
