our transfer director i think



big news right?

...another PL club ....mmm......oh,oh!

Have we done a transfer, Pizarro was a loan, whilst he's been on the payroll?

Spuds or Arse then ? ;)

Maybe a new manager wants a new director and decided to leave early.
PS. I hope not.

Undoubtedly this means someone influential is coming soon. Either a new CEO or manager.

Last I heard (in the media) he was scouting Reus for us in Germany but we passed on making a bid. He gets around a lot, he's all over the continent so I'm not sure why he's leaving.

https://twitter.com/#!/mikeintarp - his Twitter which has given some clues about our targets... he was in Brazil watching Neymar in mid-March.

No doubt he will be joining up with Sparky again...

Serious question - what does a transfer director do? We have scouts, the management team and the football director as well as the CEO. Are we talking about the Chief Scout with a grandiose title?
