Isnt his son doing some behind the scenes scouting/ coaching or something?
I would also think that as Swann's philosophy is now about playing their own so what was the u23's will probably turn into the first team squad next season.


Yeah, Swann junior is head of recruitment. Neil Coz chose him because he’s the best person for the job though. Not because of his dad.

That Jem Karacan was the centre midfielder wasnt it ? He was all over the midfield when we played them , looked a cut above and very cute on the ball and off it ,  no suprise he is moving on.

the 2 obvious ones for me are Van Keen and Abou Eisa , both of whom Hurst knows well and would surely be quality players in non league

Van Veen's an interesting one. Hurst initially froze him out and he only made one league appearance in the first month of the season (the other appearance being the game versus us in the EFL Trophy where he scored two), however after putting him back in the side he went on to score 12 between September and January when Hurst was sacked.

He clearly got something out of him, however I don't know how well his strong Scunny associations would fly round these parts.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

Didn’t Junior Brown play for PH at both Shrewsbury and Scunthorpe? We need a left back and he used to be a decent player but believe he suffered some injuries so not sure how he is performing nowadays.

He doesn't immediately strike you as a hurst type player.i actually think we'd take to him, but if he's a drama queen, plus he seems to have had a few injuries
he might be more trouble than he's worth. Eissa however was signed twice by hurst. Got to be a chance that he'd end up here, although 9 goals and 4 assists would suggest there will be a number of interested league 2 clubs

ps Ginger Pig said to be on 4k a week (can that be true?) & Eissa on £1500 p.w. - if that's the salaries they're paying out, no wonder they are in trouble! Mark Howard as an experienced back up keeper doesn't look to cost very much

same site gives an estimate of our salaries for comparison

I've no idea how accurate the actual figures are on that site, but it is there or thereabouts with the few bits I've heard about a few players.  It definitely matches up with the tiered structure that I've heard anyway.

What it does hammer home though is the absolute shocking return we've had this season from the upper echelons of our pay structure.  I'd be genuinely interested to know where the likes of Coke, LJL fit into that and also how much we were paying towards the loans of Matete and Meyanese, or again where they sit in that structure.

The one sure thing is that ink will have dried on new contracts before most of us know about new signings !!

Close to his chest??

Most are hiding under his vest !!
