I did not realise that Chapple is head of scouting operations at Luton. NJ said”he’s right at the cutting edge of things with his decision making and what he sees is very good” Still, why would we need someone like him when we have Andy Scott.
I suppose it depends how “close” Chappell and Jones are ? Luton are going to be shopping in quite different shops to us so I suppose Chappell might tip his old pal off about a young or good prospect that’s not ready or quite good enough for Luton. Maybe or maybe not.
We've had plenty of loan players from Luton in recent years, indeed one a year in Shinnie, Lee and Watson. I don't know whether that's down to the history between Chapple and the club.

Why would be leave a PL club for a L1 one?
Andy Scott is Technical Director and on a wage commensurate with that position and Phil Chapple title is chief Scout at Luton. At Brighton, Phil was a European scout.
Players and Managers earn big time at Premier clubs but it really depend how the job is graded for all the coaches of the different age groups and even the chief scout.
During the Luton v Man U game, the camera panned in on mick Halford and called him head of recruitment. Not sure if that's true or how Phil Chappell fits in
Phil Chapple was chief scout at Charlton not long ago, wasnt he? Seem to remember people calling him shit.
Never mind that, does anyone remember when he played up front for a couple of games ?
I occasionally still wake up in a cold sweat from the memory. Didn't we still have strikers available, I seem to remember being completely baffled by the decision at the time.

It's all in the title.
Probably watching Joe Taylor who's currently on loan at Lincoln. Suspect he would have expected Watson to be involved too.
