I thought we all agreed to blame that one on Guly?

Second bottom of the league with the worst ever defence and a manager under severe pressure to keep his job says it probably isn't a good thing.

I can assure you it isn't, thanks for the concearn though. As he says himself what he is responsible for in the interview i linked, then is it fair to say he's respsonsible for those areas when they fail?

Do you agree or not agree that the waters between team management and club management are currently muddied, like the article says it is?

I think it's fair to assume that is the case. However, as Director of the recruitment department, would it also be fair to say Reed has an input into where and who the scouts go to scout? I dont for one minute think Paul Mitchell suddenly decides he wants to go and watch centre halves in Spain and off he goes for example. We aren't really clarifying his role. Other than that he's a director of a department where he delegates the leg work, which is fair enough as a director and then sits on a comittee who decide which players to persue. It sounds to me like a fairly cushy number if this is his only involvement.

No one said he did scout the players himself.

Do you agree with the bits about Adkins not being fully in control and interfereance from above, as well as pressure to play certain players?

Who is this do you think?

This cant be true. Paul Mitchell is Scouting and Recruitment Manager as MLG pointed out. Reed will delegate to him surely?

It'd be interesting to know what input Reed has in the other areas. Considering some on this thread doesn't make decisions on recruitment, i wonder if the same applies to the academy, medicine and administration departments.

Not Les Reed, he doesnt make decisons on recruitment.

Chris? So lets just get this straight, He is director of the recruitment department, but does actually recruit, he is part of the management line so the head of recruitment does the recruitment, then Cortese oversees everything. So other than delegate what does Reed do in the recruitment department that he is director of? It sounds like a great job to me.

It's an all time great MLG moment.

"seems" "unprove" "hasnt done the best" "dont rate" well that's £24m out of the £30m that is still unproven, dont rate or not doing the best.

Sorry, i didn't realise i was attempting comedy. Just answering your point as to why someone would choose to spend tens of thousands of pounds following a club they weren't a fan of over the cource of 20 years.

Where does the buck stop?

I made it up to get attenton on an internet spaz board of a club i'm not a real fan of.

So when you said you had no idea about his bonuses and wage you cleary ignored to take into account that it's reasonable to think he is on a fair whack more now that at anytime in his career. I'm not sure how much goal keepers at Tranmere got paid in the 80's or managaer of Bangor in the 90's but i think it's fair to say not so much that he doesn't have to worry about never working again.

If this happens i hope everyone will back the chairman.

So it's weak to presume that the person who says he is responsbile for recriuitment and scouting might actually be responsbile for recruitment and scouting? Christ, he really has got a cushy job if he isn't responsible for any of the departments he his director of!! I think i am starting to get it though. When we sign good players and do well, the "transfer commitee" and Reed and Cortese have done a great job. When we fail in the transfer market its because they aren't responsible or it's someone elses fault. This is how the world of spazboards seem to work.

So are you saying you have no idea or not if a manager that has won two promotions and is now a premier league manager of a mid sized premier league club is on more money than being a physio at S****horpe?

Yeah Frank. I've spent tens of thousands of pounds over the last 20 years following my club all around the country home and away and i'm not a real fan because i care about what is going on and some of the things i have warned again are starting to come to frution. I'm clearly not a real fan because unlike some of you lot dont have my head in the sand.

How much money do you think there was playing for Tranmere in the 80's, being manager of Bangor, a physio at Scunny, before 3 seasons as manager? I think it's fair to say he is on a fair wack more than in anytime in his career, would you?

Why would he walk? He won't be a rich man, he wouldn't have made a fortune from his playing career or at S****horpe. He's probably paid significantly more than at anytime in his career, he's got the chance this season to manage in the premier league, not a lot of Managers do and he says he loves the club. Although I'm sure we can dismiss that last comment as some have dismissed his 'parting of ways' and 'following a process' comments.
