Where are they now? John McGinlay

[Bruce Rioja]

so - anyone know? how many scouts is McGinlay chief of? and - how many do we have?

Found a site that doesn't have any scouts listed for Wigan, but then maybe that's because bobby took them with him, and he'd have been daft not to, really.
Us on the other hand;

Raúl Zárate. Chief Analyser. Aged 23 (Really? )
Dean Austin. Scout. Aged 43
Clive Richards. Scout. -
Alan Harper. .Scout. Aged 52
Terry Daracott. Scout. Aged 62
Bill Green. Scout. -

Ex spurs' Dean Austin?

I can only assume he number crunches data supplied by the scouts who (again, an assumption) fill out detailed data rather than the instinctive narrative stuff we all would do.

Then again, he may be a genius ... or someone at the club's son !!

I did see something on Sky A couple of months ago about what him and others in Dougies team do and he actually looked liked he new what he was doing, its just techy computer stuff.

Dean Austin was sacked by Freedman whilst at Crystal Palace and left not long after Freedman's arrival at the Reebok. He left us of his own volition to become Keith Curle's assistant at Notts County, a short lived appointment as Curle and his staff got shifted out not long after Austin arrived. He now works for a crowd named 'New Challenge Partner' at 'La Sala Group', whatever that is.

Not sure how out of date that list is, as it also doesn't include Chief Scout David Sclanders.

Odd to see the name Terry Darracot there. Not heard of him in years and then twice in one week. Been dealing with an old team mate of his who's fallen on hard times and who spoke about him in glowing terms this week

Chief analyser could be 23 – it's a young science. It is, as noted, number-crunching on already-specified targets.

Lots of these roles are being advertised, many of them unpaid interns. Wigan were advertising for three unpaid interns in the analysis dept - before OC took over (insert brother-on-law joke).

[bwfcdan94]

Its called work experience and it doesn't do a lot for the youngster unless they get a job out of it which nowadays they don't often.

[bwfcdan94]

I thought internships had to be paid. Maybe your right or maybe Wigan have not advertised it properly.

Doesn't say unpaid but does hashtag "work" and "experience"

Ahem... Dean Austin? Spurs? anyone?

Yes. Him. Didn't know that he played more games for Palace than he did for Spurs. In fact, I didn't know that he'd ever played for anyone other than for Spurs.

Yeah I thought it was illegal, I remember the Government clamping down on unpaid full time work last year after Poundstretcher(?) and others were abusing the work for benefits scheme.

Wasn't that more to do with - work for nowt else you don't get any benefits, rather than companies offering genuine a internment to students?

A mate of mine that's gone back to uni has just done an unpaid stint for the real life Malcolm Tucker (who, apparently, is an objectionable c*nt beyond your wildest imaginings).
