Everton appoint Lee Sargeson as manager of scouting

[Mathieubleucoyb]

This looks like a great move as Brighton have been signing some amazing talents over the past few years.

We will Everton him

Brighton don't have a neanderthal Chairman who has to approve every signing, though

I got excited about that Kin PE Teacher Walshe, so not even raising a Carlo Eyebrow at this !!!

Is he any good - what was his role at Brighton.

Same role, scouting manager

Remember when we brought in the guy behind Leicester’s title win?

 

[Jokerdan]

Seems we are very good at tempting people to join our backroom staff but are abject failures when it comes to bringing in players...or, certainly, those that will actually do the job they are bought for.

We’ve got the best stationary

Seems like a bit of a promotion gone from Senior Scouting Manager to Manager of Scouting operations.

Do we know the spec of the role or remit? Do we know what influence he had at Brighton, i noticed at the time that Potter brought a lot of the scouting backroom team with him to Chelsea, seems this guy may have been one of many as opposed to thinking we are defo just going to recruit like Brighton now.

Not minimising the lad at all, but prob good just to have realistic expectations.

I dont even know what a scouting head of operation does, is it analytics, is it watching games, is it shortlisting recruitment or is it just telling scouts where to go on a Tues night.

We’ll reject all his signing suggestions and then see them playing in champions league finals in a few years.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

The fact that Kev and the Board think that this is a role that needs filling just proves that it should have been filled 12months ago.

all this is irrelevant until the powers that be go

To be fair this is the role we should have given Walsh when we signed him, a DoF he wasn't but a head of scouting, definitely

 

[Blue_Eagle]

I get we're all angry at the board but - getting one of Brighton's recruitment staff is great business. We haven't stopped drooling over how great their recruitment is for god knows how long.

V.good.
