If he identified Grant he’s probably earned his wage until he’s of retirement age. Absolutely. A goalscorer for £1M. Well played that man. If he turns out to be a 'Trevor Francis' I'll give you that one! Thought it was £2 mil anyway ?

And Quaner - I'd want my wages back off him! Quaner generated lots of wages. Premier League wages. 😁

Collin Q paid for himself many times over, agreed he shouldn't be here anymore but his £500,000 outlay was well and truly paid back with his assists and Mooy pen miss, follow up goal, then the Sheff Wed pass/goal that got us to wembley. Agreed we need to move on now though

Agreed we need to move on now though Agree 100% - to be fair I always thought Collin was decent at times and I could never question his desire to do well - but you are right it is time to move on. £500,000 - thats 18.5 million less than the two players who are far worse than him in my opinion. I can forgive the recruitment team for Big Col - but the others - no chance!

Let's hope we've got this recruitment right. With the exception of Grant it's been a shambles for the last couple of years.

I don't know about you but I've had it with this guy. I see absolutely no discernible improvement since he came to our club. Get rid now and get rid of whoever hired him.

We should also sack his replacement before we hire to save on the paperwork.

Looking forward to his interview om HTTV.
"What made you want to join the club?"
"Well it's such a shit show, I'm sure I cant possibly make it much worse."

What do we see in the 'excellent Josh Marsh' Head of Recruitment, if he's responsible for the last summers dross signings he should also be relieved of his duties and have fresh start. WHAT DOES HE ACTUALLY DO! I dont actually know but id guess the big money signings like mbenza/diakhaby were more tipoff/agent deals than ones Marsh identified - id think he's more focusing on the grants/koroma/browns - lesser known talents. could be wrong. That's very, very convenient, head of recruitment having bugger all to do with recruiting the overpriced, overpaid, overseas rubbish brought in last year? Bomb proof is Josh.

Maybe, truth is non of us know so i'm just offering a potential reason. I know the club rate him highly and its their brass that is being spent I remember hoyle talking about how a lot of deals now come about through agents rather than scouting. of course we will have watched videos of the players, but I also think they were last minute buys when we couldnt land our initial targets...so my guess is the scouting wasnt quite as thorough as say for grant/koroma who we were linked with for months. Just so happens most of your panic buys end up being the expensive ones Alternativly, josh marsh is as crap as folk say on here yet he's somehow managed to avoid perfect opportunities to get rid (multiple management/DOF changes)

"I am a recruitment and talent Id specialist, who strives and gives his best in every role I undertake," says Webb, who was formerly recruitment chief at Tottenham Hotspur and Bournemouth "Over the years I have built up a strong network of key contacts and developed very good relationships with industry leaders and pivotal decision makers at professional clubs and organisations.
"This network continues to grow on a global scale and gives me the opportunities to keep progressing in my career.
Would anyone care to translate this shit or does it mean I have had a job as a scout. 6 months at top Swedish club Ostersunds (average gate 5000) and he found Zaha (as a 12 year old) and he's picking our new manager along with the other waste of space winter we are domed

I gave that a listen. I had thought he was a data scientist type, but doesn't seem to be. Seemed more an old school scout who was learning to incorporate data science. The other guests were more impressive, but to be fair it was recorded a few years ago.

My daughter has a friend who was the Director of Football at a major English club. Here's what he told her: He said that he was "very upset that we’ve appointed that David Webb guy". He says Webb’s a fraud who doesn’t know what he’s doing. I hope this is proved wrong but it's very worrying in our current position. Looks like he's been rumbled!

I'll refrain from replying individually to the usual smartarses.🤔 We'll see where we are at the end of the season and I hope I'll be the first to compliment Mr Webb if he seems to have done a good job. It looks like I won't have to congratulate him after all! I don't suppose any of these smartarses will will be eating their words though. 🙄

Wonder if he was appointed by Julian Winter?? Doesn't matter anyway - The Cowleys, Phil & Mark Devlin have probably come to the same conclusion. More convinced every day the club is in good hands & heading in the right direction.
