Dyson was shite.
Can we just leave backroom staff alone. Surely their is no way you could know if he was doing a good job or not unless you worked within the management team.

Really? Dyson was shite? What the hell does that make our strike force last year? He was no Messi but if we had him last season we would have had a striker who would score a few goals and might have not been in the position we were.

Imho

Graham is a personal friend of mine, and someone that I have worked with/for briefly. In addition to attending FA courses with.

I can assure you that the position of chief scout involves far more than finding new signings. There are two parts to the role, namely Tactical Scout and Talent ID scout.

As a tactical scout Grez covers many miles watching football, and not just on Saturdays. It involves watching opponents and reporting back to the manager. You can’t be in two places at once either, and so building a trusted network of other scouts helps him in getting other views on opponents too.

Talent ID consists of identifying potential signings in addition to going to watch and report on any players that the manager asks you to. And again, seeking the opinion of other scouts in his network that might be familiar with a player.

It is not unusual that Grez isn’t credited for any of the signings made from players he has identified. Neither do you hear about players that he has recommended that the club don’t pursue, that have gone on to forge great careers elsewhere.

Prior to becoming chief scout at Grimsby Town, Grez was already working as a freelance scout for a number of very well known managers, and was equally as busy as he is now having committed to Grimsby.

A great football professional and an even better person.

Hope this helps to understand his role a bit better.

I just can't remember any players signing who he has had a Impact is us signing any players[/b] I would like to know[b] what players he has recommended because I moment I don't think there are any at the moment.


Are you just bored, nothing else to do, just another negative thread.
Try to look at all the positive things that are happening, I know it difficult being a town fan over the past seasons.

If you like to know, why not address you question directly to Mr Rodger.

If it was up to me I'd invite bignott back as chief scout, couldn't organise a p1ss up in a brewery as a manager but could see a quality player as in bogle, osborne and, slightly controversial, bolerinwar....go on, I'm thick skinned, bring on the red ones!!!


Hursts signed Bolerinwar.

Graham Rodger his he still lead chief scout, what as he done who has he been scouting, when Gary Wild was here at least he played a apart in Calum Dyson coming in, I don't know any signings Rodger has had a part in bringing in or who's he been scouting. At the time I thought it was old pals act with Slade.


You don't actually think anybody would want it known if they had a part in the majority of the last 2 years signings

I just asked question about Rodger wasn't trying to be negative just wanted to know what he actually did thought his job was scouting players.

I forgot that you ask a question on here and you get battered for it.
