academy departure- FAO Phil 16:38 - Oct 27 with 4199 views | haughleyblue74 | I heard today that academy head of recruitment Steve Mcgavin is on gardening leave as he is going to Norwich academy in the same role but on a lot higher salary. Shame if its the case as player recruitment in the academy had been good in recent times, heard anything Phil?? | | | | |

They were certainly restructuring it, what with the departure of our dear friend, Huckerby. | |

The person who told me said the club were very concerned about scouts, coaches and young players who Mcgavin knows going with him, hopefully Klug and O'Neil can steady the ship. | | | |

From the quote in their statement I think the plan is to restructure the scouting side of things. There is always a danger of that happening when a member of staff moves on, but Town is probably seen as the better bet of the two academies at present, hence Norwich's overall restructure. I would be surprised if they remain at Cat One for very much longer - costs are being cut apparently - unless they're promoted this season. | | | |

"I think the plan is to restructure the scouting side of things" As in, do some scouting? | |

Given the current crop of players coming through I think that's a tad unfair! | | | | Login to get fewer ads
academy departure- FAO Phil on 15:14 - Oct 31 with 3164 views | jwitfc | Steve Weaver the new head of Norwich City Academy was a scout at Ipswich from 2014-2016 so he obviously knows people who work there and has an idea of the ones that he would like to take to Norwich [Post edited 31 Oct 2017 15:15]

Indeed, knowing Steve fairly well I know he spent an awful lot of time travelling and watching players, forging links, such as with clubs in Paris last season which led to the recruitment of Idris El Mizouni and Lounes Foudil this summer. Will be a loss and difficult to replace. We'll see players he recruited coming through for many years to come. | | | |

I should imagine that we will locate a promising scout from the lower leagues who wants to step up ... that's how it works. | | | |

You may well be right, or someone who has been in a less senior scouting role at another bigger club after a step up, of course. | | | |
