I think the increase of our scouting network is a great thing and hopefully we will get the benefit from it, but Burkes current signings and waste of budget does not fill me with confidence. So as I said earlier he has still to win me over, so I will leave it there.
Surely the skill and experience required to be a top talent spotter, does not rely on a data base on a PC. I am sure one of the best talent spotters this club ever had would not have used a PC and that was the late Peter Taylor. But then again he played football at the top level.

He said: “We...
