Ipswich Town's head of recruitment has gone back to United for a role in their academy. Shame. Last January was amongst the most successful recruitment windows we've ever had. [Post edited 9 Feb 2024 16:39]

Shame if true |  |

Sorry to ask a silly question - but what does a Head of Recruitment do that Mike Ashton doesn’t? |  | | |

Mark Ashton is a negotiator. I can't imagine his skillset includes identifying prospective talent using networks, modern technology, statistics and other scouting processes. [Post edited 9 Feb 2024 16:57]

This can’t be true, many TWTDers explained Nixon knows nothing. |  |

Mike Ashton was a fella that I used to work with years ago. Got mixed up with Mark Ashton. | | | |

Can't be that difficult with every game shown statistics everywhere hardly at Hartlepool or Grimsby on a Tuesday night when blowing a gale | | | |

It was a good window, but we didn't exactly unearth any hidden gems. We recruited good players who were known to every club.
KM and MA prob did most of the work. |  |

I don't know what all the fuss about. Paul Cook was the best recruiter we have had in a while.
I thought this window was pretty shambolic and the summer was too it seems. I mean, last day of the Jan window and Moore came in last day. If Bournemouths signing had fallen through, we would have been stuffed. Hardly robust planning was it? | |

LOL!
Other than perhaps Hull, Town easily had the best window in the Championship. Since the premature blubbing aged terribly we are now at the “IF the deals didn’t get done it COULD have been shambolic”.
Some real straw clutching right there… | | | |
