McPhee123 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Just announced. Quick Facebook search shows he's been hacked by some Bitcoin promo, and he left Blackpool after 4 months for misnaming a supporters bar. 1 Link to comment
a don in oz Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 This is odd. What happened to root and branch review of club before going forward? Or is this another 4 month appointment for him. Link to comment
a don in oz Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Oh and there's the first written confirmation I've seen that the sibling analysts are gone and actually replaced https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/aberdeen-fc/6364776/badlan-new-aberdeen-head-of-recruitment-analysis-team-changes/ Link to comment

Can hardly leave the role empty. 2 Link to comment

Interesting that he’s moved from a Sporting Director role at Blackpool to a HoR role here. Nothwithstanding we’re a much bigger club, seems a bit of a downward move, unless, he’ll step into Gunner’s shoes, in the not too distant future. Link to comment

Think the head of recruitment here is a big role in terms of the recruitment worldwide we are looking at and obviously the abrupt parting of the ways at Blackpool wasn't a happy way to finish there either so probably just happy to get back in the game and doing what he had enjoyed previously.

Frank Grimes Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Because I’m bored and have some spare time this morning. IMO our permanent recruitment since Summer 2021: Great Bojan Miovski Good Christian Ramirez Dante Polvara Ylber Ramadani Duk Nicky Devlin Jamie McGrath Ok Scott Brown Angus MacDonald Leighton Clarkson Graeme Shinnie Slobodan Rubezic Below Average Marley Watkins Kelle Roos Ester Sokler Ross Doohan James McGarry Richard Jensen Shite Jack Gurr JET Declan Gallagher Gary Woods David Bates Jayden Richardson Anthony Stewart Calum Roberts Pape Habib Gueye Shayden Morris We’ve also taken in 16 players in on loan the last few years with arguably only getting worthwhile varying contributions from Scales, Pollock, Shinnie & Clarkson Link to comment

starryfish Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Interesting we have recruited this guy whilst the structural review is happening Link to comment
Arthur FN Shelby Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Think we also need a ‘Head of Oot the Door Dross ‘. As much work getting rid of our below average players as it is recruiting new not below average players. Link to comment
JakieBastard Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I'd probably be putting Duk and Ramadani in the great bracket too. 'great' doesn't really cover Miovski, who we will likely shift for our biggest ever fee in the summer. Duk clearly hasn't hit the same heights this season, but he came with no big expectations and was one of the top players in the league last season Link to comment

The work for the summer recruitment starts now unfortunately so we'll see whether this guy is any good or not. Would hope the manager for next season would have been sourced by that point too. Ideally in the door for the split. Link to comment

And if people are to be believed, the issue isn't really the Head of recruitment, they only identify players, it's then up to those above to get the deals done, also it doesn't help if the HoR recommends some players and people above say "no not them" then pursuing some shite.

Exactly. Identifying players (the HoR) is one thing. The problem lies with the fact we have Steven Gunn as DoF who is responsible for negotiating with the club ms & players agents. Link to comment

Where else would he find a puppet who’ll do as he’s told? Link to comment

Broken_Glass Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Polvara - Good category. 😂 Polvara - Distinctively Average Coward. That's his category right there. 1 Link to comment
