Again though , he's got every attribute to succeed and his record in the league below suggests he could step up .. it's still early days for him here
EMC's transfer was a bizarre one, must have been planning a Wright sale?
Andy thorn was always a decent scout , his record stands up
I didn't say he was solely responsible, I have said he has the final say.You have no idea how it works btw , cheers
Fact : mark robins isn't solely responsible for the players we sign , he's simply saying yes or no to the people paid to get the right players in .
Why would he say no ? None of these players will look bad in a compiled video
It really doesn’t
I think he was probably referring to the idiots who tag players’ personal social media accounts and abuse them.OK I get you, so I overestimated by 100%. From a practical perspective, little point in anyone ever saying anything on here about club policies then. They never take fans' opinions into account.
At the end of the day it doesn't matter whether we agree, and maybe you're right. I've just hated the feckin awful overblown negativity on here this season, undermining confidence and bothering Robins enough to complain about keyboard warriors. And taken far enough by some as to post bold demands for a good man to be sacked.
Yeah not denying that just an observation and another angle to the debate of King or Robins?Again though , he's got every attribute to succeed and his record in the league below suggests he could step up .. it's still early days for him here

Yes because the scouts will be showing him YouTube clips
It's not like you to push back illogically on something they might have done quite well at because you don't like them.. shocked tbh
Yes of course he will but the scouts won't be going to him saying he looks good and showing best bits. They will have pros and cons to each of them, stats for and against etc. which as I said has happened with the previous scouts.It clearly states in the article that robins said he will watch videos of the playerscheers
Name 5 scouted players by thorn that were a success

Unless you're suggesting that the bloke with the final say is just saying yes to everything?
Well you don't become chief scout at premier league Fulham and coventry and a scout at Everton and West brom if you're bad at your job
During his years at Fulham alone they signed players like clint dempsey , wayne routledge and Jimmy bollard.
You're wrong grendel
He was mates with Ranson, Coleman and Keane.
His scouted signings were a joke.
I doubt that very much. The worth of having him in addition to Wright is being proved right now.EMC's transfer was a bizarre one, must have been planning a Wright sale?
So we never signed any good players under their regime ?
I think you're wrong and we had some pretty guff managers
Im what capacity ? Players signed by the club or youth players signed by the club ?I have asked you to name some

Uou think we signed no good footballers between 2007-2011
Name 5 scouted players by thorn that were a success
Scouted players are signings for the first team
Name some
Keiren Westwood
Aron Gunnarsson
Richard Keogh
Lukas Jutkiewicz
Martin Cranie
There's more I just haven't looked but it's weird I said the same 5 as youKeiren Westwood
Aron Gunnarsson
Richard Keogh
Lukas Jutkiewicz

Gunnarson was signed after recommendation from a scout from Amsterdam
Westwood was L1 goalie of the year - hardly a coup and we paid a record fee for a goalie in that league
It’s a fantasy. In fact the only player in an interview thorn admitted to signing was David Bell

It's drivelOK so he's not responsible for any of the good signings during his time but was responsible for all the bad ones. Gotcha.
Don't know tbh , we've moved on to wether andy thorn was a shit scoutSorry what is the argument even about at this point?
He definitely didn’t scout Gunnarson, he was recommended to Ranson/Coleman by an ex-pro.OK so he's not responsible for any of the good signings during his time but was responsible for all the bad ones. Gotcha.

Thorn or robins?OK so he's not responsible for any of the good signings during his time but was responsible for all the bad ones. Gotcha.
He was not responsible for at least 3 of those players. As I’ve said the only one he’s ever admitted to being proud of spotting is David Bell

edit; here’s a link -
I imagine scouts are told about lots of players that they then go and look atSo you think we signed a player purely on the word of Heidar Helguson and did no scouting on him? OK.
