How does Rovers scouting system operate?
How does Rovers scouting system operate? Who is Head Scout? Who takes and assesses recommendations? Are there Regional Scouts? What happened for example to Paul Tait in the North-East? Are Scouts Assessments the property of the Scout or the Club? Is there a danger that when a Scout "walks" he takes all his assessments to the new club? How is Darrell Clarke monitoring and overseeing the scouting set-up? Could the Club engage better with its key resource - the fans- on scouting recommendations? Was the Yeovil Town initiative - fans to make player recommendations - a success? Is there a Club email address / telephone no. for player recommendations?
Why cannot the Club engage with the fans on the issue of scouting?

I suppose what I am questioning is whether our scouting system for senior players is "fit for purpose"?
Darrell must have a very good knowledge at the moment of the higher echelons of the Non League Game - and that is solely what we are relying on. I have this horrible feeling that he does not have a proper scouting system to support him.

I'm guessing all down to money, maybe that's why we haven't signed any up and coming players that haven't come through our youth system. I have emailed the club on a few occasions with players I've seen in non league, I know I'm no football scout but some of the players I asked the club to look at are now playing in the football league

We dont have a system. I have pushed and pushed the club on this and they have just said Darrell Clarke is looking at how to improve it. I hope he has some good ideas.

It would be nice if we could invest some of the Lambert endowment in improving how we bring talent to the team at all levels. I know it's a long term game but you've got to look at Lambert type situations and think we could do that again. Look how much Bournemouth will be benefitting from Lallana. But we clearly need talent that is ready to roll today too
