    see the link below: interview with Ben Hackney, former Barnsley FC scout talking a bit about his work as a scout for the club and generally how we go about recruitment.

    I know, its almost 2 years old but still discusses scouting under the current regime.

    About a 2-3 min read.

    cheers great read
    Perhaps we’re not quite as reliant on the spreadsheet as some would have you believe

    I think we've laid off all the scouts and are totally reliant on the spreadsheet.
