Surprised that nobody commented on this yesterday.A local lad , played and captained his club in our darkest hours.He has since gone onto manage at lower league level and in his last few jobs he has been recruiting young talent for Preston and Southampton.
Having played he will know exactly what it takes to be a professional footballer.
He will have a wealth of knowledge and contacts
This could be the the most important signing of the season.

There is a tendency amongst Managers to recruit from a small pool. Dickov almost always took players with an Oldham connection and the quality was disappointing.
Ferguson looks a bit wider than Peterborough and perhaps his recruits will prove more successful.
However a full-time specialist ought to have the time to make it his objective to search far more widely.
