    Alderz, Thorn: take your point. But he's gone now, and Sully has promised an overhaul of hiring/transfers, so one door closes and another opens (we hope.) ;hug

    BBB. I guess because it was Tony Henry that made the ill judged comments to the media.

    I took that to be making a distinction between scouting (ie what Henry was in charge of) and drawing up lists of potential signings to be brought to 'the committee' (DS and DM?), and then the process of selecting from that list and subsequent negotiations.

    At no point do I think 'the Board' as a body are involved (as distinct from 1 member of it).

    Maybe the truth already is out. ;ok

    Yes, although erm, aren't you tending to believe Sully when he claims about who he has personally scouted? And disregard others (Slaven) who contradict him?

    And if he used Silkman to 'scout' for him, as you claim, then he's not really scouting, is he. Which is consistent with the official version that DS doesn't scout, but that others bring recommendations to him and he selects (along with the manager)? So really he's just bigging up that he picked Lanzini from a list that others scouted for him?

    Anyway, I am just pointing out where I see no contradiction. And so far, you haven't convinced me that there is one. Especially since we can't be sure what is mean by 'scouted' or 'player recruitment'. From the examples we have, the terms are clearly not being used to mean the same thing by everybody all the time. (Yourself included!)

    As for not believing that TH could say those things on his own... well, I have no trouble believing it.

    Oh I disagree, if they said absolutely nothing fans would complain that we never hear from the owners...

    Owners of other clubs don't make as much noise as ours but I don't hear those fans complaining that they never hear from the board

    Tony Henry banned. Vaguely transfer related.

    He has been suspended from all football-related activity [for a year] after admitting an FA misconduct charge.
