Why is the chairman pointing out to the manager which players to target?

Now what was that allegation that Chris Shuker made all those months ago?</p>

 

Well he identified McIndoe and Togwell so he can't be that bad at it. Don't forget he's got a scouting network at his disposal which is supposedly better organised than ever before at Oakwell.

 

but isnt that scouting network supposed to be Andy Ritchie's?

 

He doesn't

he gets offered players who are available and puts them forward to AR!!!!

As for the scouting network i read last year in 442 mag that we use an external agency that go scouting players and provide reports on them we then pay for the reports/scouts to go watch them again etc thats how we got steven watt last season!!

 

RE: but isnt that scouting network supposed to be Andy Ritchie's?

I'm sure he gets the reports from the scouts as well.</p>

 

RE: but isnt that scouting network supposed to be Andy Ritchie's?

it's all rather odd.</p>

I think that GS should have a column in the programme every week (and/or on the official site) where he can keep the fans informed of certain things. Rather than as it is at the moment where as soon as he tries to give out information via the radio people are thinking there is an alterier motive because we havent heard anythong for so long. Or I might be talking out of my arse again</p>

 

think it would be good

becasue everyone makes assumptions on something we do not know mucgh about but then again it could be a can of worms!!
