It started in the Jan window for me. Recruiting three avg players for silly money and wages. Contracts were long aswell Link to post Share on other sites

Wasted so much money Didn’t someone say Pulis did away with our scouting reports and Flint, Saville and Mcnair were his choice? I may have misunderstood though. Link to post Share on other sites

Pulis was full of it Apparently he wasn't because we 'grieved' a little bit when he left and he left us 'stable and strong' and in 'great shape'. All down to him it seems. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Dan1234 1,048 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 To be fair if we did "only" sign Flint for 5million + addons, assuming we haven't had to pay the addons (goals/promotion bonuses etc) after the season hes had 3m seems perfectly respectable. Isn't he 30 now? His price certainly won't have gone up. Link to post Share on other sites

I may have misunderstood though. Pulis had his own scouts yeah, but we recruited quite poorly before that. Fletcher, Bamford and Gestede for big money, big wages and long contracts.

I may have misunderstood though. I thought it was suggested that Flint was entirely down to our recruitment team. I'd have to assume that McNair was because I just don't believe Pulis wanted him. Of all the signings that would be the weirdest if Pulis really wanted him and then barely gave him a game. Link to post Share on other sites

Harsh possibly but the last few months have definitely changed my opinion on him rightly or wrongly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Mine changed a long time ago, I think he genuinely cares and he's doing his best but I think he's out of his depth in modern day football. And yeah I agree with you that we don't always get the full truth out of the club. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I may have misunderstood though. I get the feeling that all of our managers in recent times bar maybe mogga have ignored the scouting team, strachan, karanka, dodgy monk, pulis all brought their own players in and the ones brought in by the club/chairman just didn't get played. I think Woody will be completely different and we may change our opinions on the scouting recruitment team. Here's hoping anyway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think he is out of touch with the modern game and also can't compete financially anymore. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Here's hoping anyway. I agree with that. He seems to be happy coaching and will probably tell Bevington the attributes he wants from a player for a certain position and leave it to recruitment. The main issue isn’t necessarily the players but the price and salary that they were. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
