I've heard that Mervyn Day, the old Leeds keeper, will be joining us this week as Chief Scout. Left that role at Leeds in the summer. Was news to me.

Will he be planning to get his football boot stuck in the goal nets at the Amex as well?

Umm maybe he could go take a look at Cardiff's Craig Noone and that hot striker at Palace (Morray? Murray?)

I have never heard officially what role, if any, Barry Lloyd still holds at the club. There was no mention of him leaving when Arianadle arrived, nor the bloke from Watford or any of the other scouting type backroom people. And there is no "Who's Who" section on the new website. He wasn't listed on the old one.

The thing is I do have a specific interest to do with my NSC monicker which was changed when he returned to the club in a scouting role.
I would happily revert to my maiden name "Hazgon" if he has, indeed, gone again.

Zigor Aranalde is his name.

I thought David Burke assumed this kind of role in his job? Or maybe he wants to have someone field based with him collating all the reports and DVDs that must come in as part of the process? Maybe we're trying to be a bit more streamlined in the approach.

I'm pretty sure that Bazza is in charge of scouting young players in the local area.
With regards to chief scout, I believe Darren Wrack was employed post Aranalde as head of the scouts.

Aranalde is the Scouting Manager International and the Scouting Manager UK is Darren Wrack, or he was in July, and maybe still is.

I was told that Day starts today by someone that knows him... We'll find out eventually I suppose. Not earth-shattering news but always interesting. We seem to be building up a pretty huge back room team nowadays with the new Assistant Club Secretary too - but then, with 25000+ crowds - there's a lot to manage.

If we have all the scouts, why can't we find someone who can put the ball in the net?

Sack them all and start again
