royalp-we Snowflake Royal Brogue yeah i was talking bollox as per usual
, just found the minutes
STAR: Then moving to the football management group, we understand that we have the player
recruitment group, which we believe needs to be much more visible. We understand that this consists
of Dayong Pang, Bryan Stabler, Pauno as first team manager and Michael Gilkes. We also understand
we have Seb Ewen as Head of Recruitment.
Reading FC: Jason Lawson is Head of Recruitment at the club. Seb reports into him.
STAR: Ok. That’s not clear to us and, I’m sure, other fans. Do we have a scouting network, then?
Reading FC: Yes. Seb reports to Jason. In terms of scouts, we have a network of scouts - mostly UK
based but not only looking in this country. They are out watching games and analysing players. We
also have an Academy recruitment group too, which operate below the first team level and they scout
for all the age group teams we haveSo as above, I imagine Jason Lawson he been fired.
Think it was Ince who said we didn't have any scouts
Yep Ince mentioned he didn’t think we had any scouts and that him and Rae were doing everything at a presser, sending the fans in to meltdown. He was of course, talking bollocks.
At that Star meeting Paunovic was still manager, so it's possible that between then and Ince taking over the scouts were all let go / left.
That's also not 100% clear whether they're ours, or we're in contact with a network of someone else's scouts... Joorabchian's for example.
