Good letter in the Telegraph about the Scouting system at Town by ex Town scout Keith Miller
Changing from a dedicated Scouting team to a scouting organisation is wrong IMO and shows Fentys lack of football knowledge and ambition. A club like Town need a network of scouts (whatever the cost) with football knowledge not people with a laptop and a few stats on players. Stats dont tell the whole story you need someone with an eye for a player.
I dont know what his excuse for doing this, I work away so missed it. Can some one tell me what Fenty said about this at the time.    


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Not Fenty's decision. The managerial team wanted the current system as thye had used it previously and several clubs seem to be moving towards it

Its may be that its a more balanced and objective point of view of a player given by more than one observer, rather than the comments of someone who may be a slight bias to style of play age etc, probabley cheaper as well

At the fans forum when Scott was asked about this he said it was the way forward in football and a lot of different teams used this way of scouting players

Don't see how this could work, sounds like basically judging on stats such as Football Manager haha.
