Phil Chapple leaves Luton!!

I can’t remember where I heard it, (might be from Chris Powell) but i do remember Someone  singing his praises years ago, that he was incredibly hard working, and used to do 100,000 miles a year, driving up and down the country, actually scouting potential players, which in my book, would be a big win.

I really hope he’s back, the man is an encyclopaedia of footballers in this country.

i saw him a few times in the Directors box last season and he is always up for a chat but also VERY guarded about who he is looking at.  

A very professional man who would be a great fit for us.  Fingers crossed

Remember speaking to him when he was with us before.

Ask him about a reserve full back in league 2 and he'd know their stats, strengths, weaknesses and inside leg measurenent.

I had the same experience.  I mentioned Kevin Alcock at Peterborough and he replied off his vital statistics, performance statistics and a bit about his private life too.  Seriously knowledgeable and impressive man.  Would be an asset

Rooes for nathan's mates all good, roles for methven's mates, not so good

Roles for people chosen by NJ who has a good record of success at this level and knows what he wants and needs from "his" team is a very different thing to roles for Charlie the Chancer whose favours mostly seem to be dictated by his bank balance.
