I have replied, suggesting that not all his decisions have been exactly rational! I now expect to be blocked!

    The first thing any new owners should do is break off all contact with him.
    If he's still around under new owners I'll be dumfounded

    Even if the new owners are a mystery consortium headed up by Uncle Richard ...

    "Advisor on player signings for Charlton Athletic Football Club. (former STVV) I like cocktails, nature, animals, history, politics, crypto and (some)people".

    I like him, he's been an asset to our club, he tells it as it is and just look at his Twitter profile above.

    Adorable.

    Following him on Twitter he quite creepily "likes" a lot of tweets from our young female fans, it's like he doesn't know we can see it - super unprofessional.

    Clearly attended the same "Self-Awareness" School as Roland. He'll never work in football again once Roland's sold all his clubs.

    He’s right - managers do not have tome to go off scouting. That’s why the scouting team go for him and bring back a shortlist with recommendations. Then let the manager decide who he thinks will fit best into his squad.

    That’s the problem with playing computer games and thinking that everything works the same in real life. These footballers are real people, not just ratings on a hard drive that you can cobble together without due care.

    Seeing as managers live and die by the players that come to their clubs,I find this a most amusing statement.All managers,from the great Alex Ferguson downwards have a network of scouts,who look for players who they think will benefit their clubs.They will present their cases and discuss the pros and cons.But,always,the manager will have the final say.Absolutely ridiculous to suggest otherwise.Imagine someone telling Bill Shankly or Arsene Wenger they have to sign this or that player,this guy is a prick.

    If the scouting team (and in particular the Chief Scout) have the complete confidence of the manager then there isn't a problem - the manager will accept their recommendations. The manager cannot do everything. This particular little spotty, waste of space herbert does not fall into this category.

    The caveat here is that the manager should appoint the Chief Scout, not have it imposed.
