Freedman returned to Palace in August last year as sporting director, and Sclandlers has also since returned to South London to work alongside recruitment manager Omar Yabroudi.
Meanwhile former Queens Park Rangers striker Kevin Gallen has also joined the Eagles’ scouting team, having played alongside Freedman in the youth team at the West London club."
As Sclanders was our previous Chief Scout who left with Freedman when he left us for Bolton and we have an ex QPR striker I just don't get why Steve Parish (SP) appointed these three to do this job for us.
What past experience do they have of scouting abroad for gems in the world of European Football where so many other teams get decent players from?
The answer surely is "NONE".
So why were the three of them appointed.
That leaves Omar Yabroudi, who worked with us from 2010. I guess he was poached by Dougie as he was previously head of recruitment at Forest and was appointed at the beginning of this year, I can only presume he also came back to us with Dougie. He did his Bachelor of Science at Liverpool John Moores University 2007-2010 then worked for Barnet, then Forest, so he also can't have any European experience at the level a Premiership club needs.
It really is not good enough after six years in the Premiership and SP again needs to rectify mistakes and get some experienced head in.
Having said that I wouldn't have a clue who to appoint with actual experience of scouting in Europe, especially if European based and I guess that is the route of the problem, neither does Steve Parish.
Therefore - if we stay up - we need a foreign manager after Roy.
