We have scouts that have worked for our club for many years tha will stay but the ones Sven personally brought in will probably not continue. Always the way.

What a cracking job our scouts have done over the years..... :|

the scouts weren't brought in by Sven they were here before him

Not according to Sven at the Q&A evening I went to. He said he had Tord Grip and others working for Leicester. Yes we had scouts working for us pre Sven but not as good.

You mean he had someone read through the notes he made in his previous jobs?

Sven's contacts are great, and we will miss that but we did get players in under Pearson that I was pleased with as well - Vaughan, Spearing, Cleverley, Davies etc

The only full time scout Sven had working for us was Tord Grip.

This is a big issue for me. It has been a problem for ages and it is why we haven't really produced many gems from relatively unknown players. Even with Sven I felt it was probably more of a case of agents phoning him up rather than us being proactive in the first place. I could be way wrong here but that was the impression I had and it was well documented that under Mandaric we basically didn't have a scouting network.

We have had the worst scouting team in England for years.

I think Middlesborough would comfortably take that honour.

When he came he said something along the lines of us not having a proper network in place.

Yeah, he sacked my mate (our chief scout under Sousa) saying he didn't like his scouting reports & that they weren't of the quality he wanted. When my mate asked him what he wanted Sven showed him an example. The example was

my mates reports for Paulo. Sven was a proper fvck wit & we're well rid!

Oh, and by the way, the scout was chief scout for 10 years under Wenger at arsenal & 2 years at Chelsea with the moriniho (spelling?????)
