There was one full time position and two were chosen for it, so both worked for free for the last couple of games of the season and when we got promoted they offered him a full time job, with a good starting wage and a free season ticket. I think we can say the guy has basically got a dream job, well done Callum, hopefully he plucks some wonder players out of the hat for us !

Scouts would do the scouting & the translators would translate between the two parties.

He will then pass a number of names onto the scouts, obviously they decide on who they think is good enough and then they go and watch the players they feel could make the grade.

So, unlike what you said in the opening post, he won't be scouring the leagues looking for talent!that's the scouts job.
Sounds like he's gone there as a translator, if he's even there at all.![]()
I've never seen a football player use twitter to hint at a move though...![]()
