Cannot imagine we would let him go without a replacement.

Look at the journalist not the f**king paper, I know the Sun is garbage but Alan Nixon has been reliable with us in the past I seem to recall.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

If he goes can we finally get Paul Mitchell in please

 

EDIT" Just seen he's recently gone to Leipzig

Just because they are I for him doesn't mean thy have a slight chance of getting him.

 

Look at Leicester and look at westham I know who id rather work for.

 

Westham atm is a shambles of a club.

 

And if he goes then he goes we will get someone better.

And he's signed who for us exactly to care? Maguire and N'didi had both been scouted long before this fella turned up, Diabate was a Puel pick... so.... bothered.

Maybe Iborra? But he's been a bit hot and cold.

Macia, who previously worked for Liverpool under Rafael Benitez as well as Valencia, helped agree the £15m purchase of 20-year-old Wilfred Ndidi, who has looked promising in midfield.

He signed when he was here, doesn't mean he scouted him or instigated the transfer. He was scouted under Walsh, as per the quotes from Shakey back at the time stating that we'd been scouting him for ages and that the fact we'd been in contact with his family etc for so long but us at the front of the queue to sign him 

[CosbehFox]

Give it six to twelve months; Macia leaves and Walsh rejoins here.

We're not Northern enough for him are we. Not sure I rate him in the DoF role either. Head scout, yes please.

[NeilLCFC]

Is he even any good? 

 

Majority of his signings for us have been extremely expensive flops. 

[sylofox]

This ones simple. Give wham Rudkin and £5m.

Then promote Macia to our DoF everyones happy. Wham get experience we get lucky  

[Gazza M]

Bye Bye.

It says ‘director of football’.  That’s a bigger higher paid, higher profile job than head of recruitment at a provincial club like us. no way will he stay here if he gets that offer unless the owners stump up a much bigger wedge for him and I doubt very much that they would. 

 

No real evidence that this will be a problem and would be par for the course if someone else within the club has pinned the blame for our poor recruitment from outside the uk onto him. 

[Matt]

I’ve blamed Rudkin for alot, obviously it’s not just him. Our whole recruitment team need looking at, what has he (Macia) actually done to note?

 

Either way I genuinely don’t know but what I do know is generally over the last few windows is we’ve failed massively and major questions need asking of the recruitment team as a whole.

 

Changes within that are welcomed - however it goes without saying the changes/replacements have got to be the right ones/for the better.

We were crying when Walsh left, he signed those god awful players after we won the league and things haven't been much better since he's gone to Everton.

Source?

 

All I can find is Shakespeare saying that we “did our homework” and that we were one of the first clubs to show an interest.

 

You can interpret that as meaning he was scouted some seven months prior when Walsh was still here if you want but that would just be your interpretation and not necessarily the truth.

He Director of Football at Everton to be fair.

 

We should defo go in for him if Macia goes.

[Guest Mickyblueeyes]

I don't think it's a massive loss. However, I don't think it will be problem that we will not continually face in years to come. The role advertised is "Head of Recruitment" ultimately reporting into the Director with responsibility of the department. If you're Walsh or Marcia, with years of experience, being told what to do by Rudkin (with his experience) maybe a bit undermining. 

 

Just make sure a replacement is found, without delay so there is no repeat of the 16/17 summer.

He was never in the Director of football role for us...
