Jon McLaughlin and Jimmy Dunne I would say was excellent scouting Keeping an eye on a former club or recruiting players you have worked with in the past isn't exactly casting a far and wide scouting network, in fact it's barely scouting at all. I'm in no way saying that Jon or Jimmy are bad signings, just not ones that have involved any real degree of scouting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players he is looking for and whether that's watching former clubs or jumping on a plane to South America, ultimately he has found what he is looking for, so why spend a fortune?

Just like I said we were in contact with Darren Fletcher in the past which is also true (100% if folk want percentages ?) If you don’t ask and all that! Yip, folk don't get the interested or enquired part. If we don't sign said player you must be talking shite., apparently. It's not as if we'd enquire about players and then said players may then refuse our terms and then we look elsewhere. Every player we speak to, we sign. We don't speak to anyone else. That's how it works. ?♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to lose several players this month and bring others in. Not sure he can afford £1m for Lee. Adam, Williams, Crouch, Fletcher, and others all too old to build a new team around but those four are probably taking £10m a year out of the club. Expensive pay-offs on top of Rowetts staff pay-offs. They will be dealing heavily in the loan market until summer I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
