Dazzler 2,428 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Brown appointment is a strange one, smacks of job for the boys. Good to see we will be looking far and wide for players though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Soprano 22,428 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 He also scouted Tav and Carlos Cuellar. please don’t let that stand in the way of moaning for the sake of it though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amato 3,016 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Good to see a scouting network finally put in place and...interesting... line about Allen purposely keeping a low profile until now. The John Brown appointment does seem strange. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Bomber have any experience in scouting? it says in the piece he has a track record of this and I was wondering when that was. Also judging by that, Brown is essentially covering the UK, Dave Swanick covers Europe and Bille Mclaren gets promoted to give them a hand. I dont wish to sound negative, - and you have to start somewhere - but you get a sense of the magnitude of the task by that statement, rather than be buoyed by it. Certainly, I do. Maybe because winter is coming I'm going into a downer. He used to be a scout under Walter. Was him that identified Cuellar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayboleLoyal_atb 3,734 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Have heard players in the past talk very highly of Brown. Am sure Barry Ferguson said he was a huge influence on him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because winter is coming I'm going into a downer. He done some scouting for Smith, went and watched our European opponents and by all accounts brought back some detailed reports. Think it's fairly well known that he played a key role in scouting out Cuellar too. If he can play a part in getting anyone of Cuellars ability again I think we'd all be delighted.

Had a wee Google to see what his scouting background was. "It was Bomber who brought Carlos Cuellar to the club after scouting him playing for Osasuna. Every time we had European ties Walter Smith would send Bomber to watch the opposition and he would always bring back a very thorough and qualified opinion on the opposition.”- mccoist.

gj923 1,457 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 The important point from all this is that they are building up a player database whereby physical scouting is just a small part of it. So when the new manager identifies for instance the need for a left back they can have 5 or 6 candidates identified readily for further viewing.
