This is the first I’ve heard of it, but isn’t he head scout at Liverpool?

Why would he come here?

He probably wouldn't unless he's desperate for a DOF role. Still lives in Reading too by all accounts, which is fine if you're a scout but would've thought DOF would be more hands on.

It's just a rumour mind, also heard a rumour we're looking at the industrial estate for a new training ground but most rumours tend to be bollocks so take it with a large pinch of salt.

Actually, thinking about this further, it could be the fact he's fed up with travelling and wants to settle somewhere. At present he scouts in the UK and Europe 5 days a week and still take in under 18 games on his day off.

His immediate report is Dave Fallows (Head of Scouting) and they both report to Michael Edwards (Sporting Director). From Liverpool's set up it would seem that he's gone as far as he can go unless one of the aforementioned leave.

If he's completed the FA Level 5 (Technical Directors) programme then he clearly has aspirations to work at a higher level. It's then not a huge leap to think that someone who wants to work at this level but finds their current pathway blocked may try their hand further down the pyramid. Especially if that club has financial backing and is shortly to become high profile within their respective league.

I overheard something similar yesterday. I couldn’t hear the details properly but they were definitely talking about training facilities at Wrexham and mentioned quite a large site.

Good quality ex-player.

Interesting if there is any mileage in this rumour.

A lot of land for sale in Bowling Bank, not too expensive either.

Let's face it, the WST didn't try very hard looking for another site to Groves.

Did they even try? Remember the vote was not to look for other deals for some reason.
