Pretty happy with the appointment of JJ. I reckon the decision to appoint another foreigner is no mistake. His English is fantastic as I recall him commentating on Rangers TV recently and I honestly think another reason he was appointed is maybe his ability or knowledge to scout foreign (Scandanavia in particular) talent.

If we appointed the likes of McLeish and Ferguson or Rae I think they would have had limited knowledge of the European market never mind further afield. Granted Big Eck had a few jobs abroad in Belgium and Egypt but with Pedro and JJ I would hope it brings a broader range of contacts in the likes of South America, Portugal and Scandanavia at least.

If we're being honest young foreign youth is where the money is to be made and the board seem well aware of this. Just take a look at that mob across the city n the money they've made from Van Dijk and Wanyama.

Thoughts?

I thought that's the DOFs job.

He's not been appointed as a scout. Scouts, by the very nature of the term, can do their job in any country no matter their own nationality.
