Saw that.

The upheaval at Crystal palace includes ambitious chief scout Tim Coe leaving Selhurst Park to join Championship club Brighton, who have revamped their scouting operation. It is understood Coe is looking for more day to day involvement than he was given under Tony Pulis. Coe, 28, was the youngest chief scout in the Premier League last season, and combined those duties with qualifying to be a solicitor.

28 seems a bit young for a scout to me. You almost expect them to be middle aged.

Let's hope he wasn't the one responsible for identifying the 15 misfits Holloway signed in August!

Where does the legal degree come into it as a football scout, exactly?

The parks are full of wannabe scouts every Sunday morning, unfortunately most are just recruiting kids and over enthusiastic parents into paying for "advanced development". Simple lesson if it's costing you something it's NOT really a club scouting for your kids unbelievable talent.

It doesn't really. He has been training to be a solicitor alongside his scouting activities.

Yeah, that's what I mean. If you want to be a solicitor, why are you pursuing jobs as a scout, is what I'm getting at?

Is he going to join us then quit in a couple of years to become a legal eagle (ugh!)?

Just READ the article, for goodness sake!

He was a player (at Reading) who's career ended at 20 through injury. So he went to college to study law.
While he was there studying Reading gave him a part-time job doing a bit of scouting (of opposition). That grew, and ultimately ended up as a full time career in football (but he wanted to finish the studies he'd started).
