Just a shame that he hasn't taken Scholes with him.

Sorry but what the fuck?
Why did we finalise things with him if Jones was on his way out the bastard door... O'Neill's men now I hope.

He should have been brought in right at the start on Jones becoming manager as he was clearly his pick.

....and we wonder why our recruitment has been largely diabolical for years?
People mock Brentford but christ, they have a top down model that works because the club vision is fed through the club downwards and doesn't change regardless of managers.
We seem to stumble from the mate of person x to the chum of person y.
Wake up you imbeciles.

Really hope there is a replacement, I didn’t think it was possible for our recruitment structure to get even less defined but there we are...
Any replacement must be here long term, Scholes “manager first” system is an absolute nonsense and at risk of falling apart due to any circumstances in which the manager leaves.

It is the ideal chance now to appoint a technical director type who will work with MON to lay out a blue print for the club for the next few years and buy players to fit into it, with the objective of having a team that gels and grows together to be ready for a serious challenge for promotion the season after next.
Of course, it will never happen.

Utterly indefensible appointment and handling where does the buck stop for this one Mr ( it’s been a good January ) ( Jesse the sign of ambition ) ( we watch every signing 25 times ) ( nothing wrong with the process ) Scholes ?

Apparently he didn’t want to join us after he agreed to come anyway so this is no surprise.
Sums the club up though.
We’ve got to hope that lessons have been learnt and we get someone in independent of the manager or no one at all.

We’ve got to hope that lessons have been learnt and we get someone in independent of the manager or no one at all. Depends what the parameters of the job are, doesn't it? If it's just a glorified chief scout, surely better if it's a MON man. It seems clear we've weakened the role from whatever it was in even Carto's time here, let alone wanting a continental-style role with some teeth. Looks like it won't even be Carto-lite, but more of a Head Scout - and MON may feel he's got what he needs here already with that Cousins bloke on board who he seems to trust implicitly

Well apparently in that time he wanted to go back on it and not have the job but we convinced him to take it still. That’s what I was told anyway!

But with that I think he should pick the manager and set the way the whole club plays, the training etc but think putting that person in place when there’s a manager there is a massive risk for everyone involved. A head scout type job isn’t.

This shows, to me anyway, that O'Neill is running things from top to bottom.

You can’t get someone because MON likes them and you can’t give someone the control I’d hope they’d have as it totally undermines the manager. It’s a shit situation but totally us.

He was a dead man walking the moment Jones left.
To allow the first major transfer window to pass before bringing in Chapple was brain dead beyond belief.....

I did when I was told and now this has happened I’m more convinced it was true. If you don’t believe that then cool.
