sylofox Posted 18 March 2019 Posted 18 March 2019 So it appears he is off for real this time. Rodgers was made a wear of it when he arrived.

Foxxed Posted 20 March 2019 Posted 20 March 2019 He left five days ago according to the lcfc website. Who are we getting in to replace him?

Outfox the Fox Posted 9 April 2019 Posted 9 April 2019 https://www.sofoot.com/eduardo-macia-nouveau-directeur-du-football-a-bordeaux-467836.html He has FINALLY been appointed as DoF at Bordeaux ! I wonder when we might annouce his replacement.
smiley Posted 9 April 2019 Posted 9 April 2019 Do we not have a head of recruitment in place then now? Has Steve Walsh been appointed anywhere?

No, still no news of the Head of Recruitment. A return for Walsh has been mentioned as a possibility (he is out of work), along with Lee Congerton (I think most - with the exception of our Manager - wouldn't want him). Personally I would look at new blood - possibly Sven Mislintat, ex-Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund.

coolhandfox Posted 9 April 2019 Posted 9 April 2019 Can't see the club putting all its eggs in one basket and employing Lee Congerton, if Rogers moves on you lose you recruitment setup as well as your manager. I wouldn't be surprised to see Walsh return.

Good point, the thing is though it depends on how much they want to appease Rodgers, I'm not sure if he came to them with the request they'd want to get off on the wrong foot
The Horse's Mouth Posted 9 April 2019 Posted 9 April 2019 Role like this shouldn't be chosen by manager, give it back Walsh, tried and trusted
Nicolo Barella Posted 9 April 2019 Posted 9 April 2019 I'd rather not sign Tielemans than appoint Congers

Poaching RB Leipzig's head of recruitment would be a real coup imo.

We aren't going to poach any from big clubs unless we offer them the DOF position

We aren't going to poach any from big clubs unless we offer them the DOF position It's easy to judge a Head scout, you basically look at their CV over the last few years and you can judge their buys retrospectively. Anyone who thinks employing Congerton is a good idea I'd like to know which buys were the ones that convinced you?
StriderHiryu Posted 9 April 2019 Posted 9 April 2019 Good Ndidi Maguire Evans Maddison Ricardo Tielemans Decent Iborra Ward Jury's Out / Can't judge yet Soyuncu Benkovic Ghezall (could arguably be in the poor category) Poor Ihenacho Adrien Silva Left the Club (Probably not Macia's department, but this is who he had to replace) Ulloa Iborra Drinkwater Mahrez Musa Overall if you had to evaluate Macia's time at the club, I'd say he did a good job. Maybe even a great one! It even seems like we will get money back on Silva / use him in a part exchange so only Nacho seems like a real flop as of the time of writing. If the next head of recruitment did a similar job, the squad would improve again and we wouldn't have wasted too much money. Good luck to the guy I say, he did a good job for us here.
Guest Papasmurf Posted 9 April 2019 Posted 9 April 2019 Would be interesting to see the signings Congerton has been involved with if anybody has the time or the inclination.

I'm sure he's quite comfortably retired with his family up in Liverpool after the severance pay he was undoubtedly handed when fired from Everton

I'd agree with most of this but for me, whatever way you look at it... 19 mill for Soyuncu seems a bad deal. He may end up improving and being a decent player, but there's been nothing to suggest hes anywhere close to a 19 million pound player. For 19 mill you expect something pretty damn special, whatever their age.

I suppose we will see, it also seems this has been bubbling for sometime, so I expect the club has being looking at a replacement for some time.
