I think people need to realise what Rigg’s role is. He doesn’t sign players, full stop.Giftonsnoidea wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 5:28 pmI think the question is what has Rigg done in his time here, signed Brownhill and Jay Rod which every man and his dog knew was a good move, what else ?
That meeting was held last week. It was decided that £35 is a lot of money and the club could make do without buying a new one. The younger players from the development squads were quickly dispatched to the park with a loaf of bread between them.
Obviously doesn't find them either.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 6:31 pmI think people need to realise what Rigg’s role is. He doesn’t sign players, full stop.

We’re not signing him just as an insurance policy for Westwood though are we. He will give Dyche the option to play 3 in midfield, it will also give Dyche the option to play Brownhill on the right. It’s all well and good wanting to sign young players, but the truth is they are much bigger gambles, and the lesser gambles are much more expensive. For all you know Dyche could see Benson as a potential to step up this season or next.Mattster wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 5:54 pmSo it's only in the unlikely (statistically speaking*) scenario that Westwood gets injured in the next month it's a good deal? In the more likely scenario he doesn't then is it a good deal? Because that seems the only arguement you can put forward for Stephens over a younger, more long term signing.
Who cares if it limits us in the market and financially in the more long term? At least we'll be covered for the next month or so. Well worth £1m plus 2+ years of wages.
*given Westwood has missed only 5 games through injury in the last 3 and half years since he signed for us.
Well yes, but he isn't employed by BFC. What's your point?
Pretty simple point really.GandalfsBeard wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 6:46 pmWell yes, but he isn't employed by BFC. What's your point?
His role is to oversee recruitment, the academy and the sports science departments. In terms of recruitment his job is to identify players that meet with the clubs financial and playing requirements. Forming a long term strategy that will protect the club and put things in place to ensure it prospers is also within his remit.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 6:31 pmI think people need to realise what Rigg’s role is.

And people at other clubs who are more qualified than our recruitment team have ruled them in and signed them.Granny WeatherWax wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 6:50 pmPretty simple point really.
He suggesting players, I’m suggesting the people more qualified than him might have already ruled those players out.

I recall that you implied or suggested that Quaison wasn't actually found by Rigg and Santamaria could have been found by anyone that could see further than their own nose.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 6:50 pmHe does find them - that's how Santamaria & Quaison have been linked with us this summer with players and our manager keen. What Rigg & Dyche have to do then is pass it to the chairman.

If Rigg has anything about him, and he has now been with us 3 years so should understand our finances, and how SD and MG work. As a result you would expect names he forwards to have been pre-qualified to meet the criteria expected and at least a few of these to be sanctioned.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 6:50 pmHe does find them - that's how Santamaria & Quaison have been linked with us this summer with players and our manager keen.

That's assuming he knows what MG's criteria is, and it can really only be wage and signing fee. It sounds like MG isn't trusting others to sign players until he's watched enough of them and done his own scouting.warksclaret wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 7:01 pmIf Rigg has anything about him, and he has now been with us 3 years so should understand our finances, and how SD and MG work.

And A.N. Other midfielder wouldn't give these options?

if a club that has been in the PL for as long as we have can't afford the fee's/package mentioned for the like of Quaison then questions quite rightly need to be asked.............and even today Dyche claims to not know the criteria they are working under to sign players........less than 2 weeks before the window shutswarksclaret wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 7:01 pmIf Rigg has anything about him, and he has now been with us 3 years so should understand our finances, and how SD and MG work.

Do think to an extent that will play in to our hands. A lot of clubs will have spend proportions of their budgets in a market that has just suffered fairly major set back.Gordaleman wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 6:54 pmThe BFC board may not have known that this new shutdown was on it's way, but I'll bet they planned for it in case it happened.
Massive losses for football now the season is going to be fanless. Feel so sorry for the little clubs, many of whom will go to the wall.
Good job we have a cautious board.

Sorry if I misinterpreted your words, but mentioning Dyche could imply that the discovery wasn't made by Rigg, along with the notion that we knew about him before Rigg arrived. The additional information that he didn't appear to us out of a piece of software would also suggest that our new analytical scouts had nothing to do with finding him.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2020 9:09 amWith no disrespect, I don't think you understand how recruitment works at Burnley if you are supporting the chairman yet criticising the recruitment team. The manager has explained time and time again that they don't have budgets, that basically they have to go cap in hand to the chairman should we want to bring in a player. It is the chairman who does all that stuff.
Maybe the recruitment team, and potentially Dyche, recommended Quaison, who I believe is looking less likely to come, last year or the year before. What I can confirm is that this particular player has not appeared to us out of a piece of software.
Not been here two years yet and a lot of his work has been building up the recruitment department and academy work. If anyone is pointing fingers at Rigg for our lack of transfer activity then they are pointing in the wrong direction.warksclaret wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 7:01 pmIf Rigg has anything about him, and he has now been with us 3 years so should understand our finances, and how SD and MG work.

Good job we have a cautious board.
My first pick for a left sided central defender was snapped up by Sven Mislintat, mr diamond eye himself, as soon as Stuttgart won promotion to the Bundesliga. They paid £3.5m for him.

Scott McKenna was on my list along with other players that have moved to good clubs and not one has cost more than £3.5m.
You can look at the Armchair Scout (UK) thread to see the picks I posted on Aug 19th, even though I put them together shortly after the Winter window ended.

A rehash of what's been printed, but even that's better than the alternative of what's been posted.
Burnley are increasingly confident that they will be able to secure a deal to sign long-term target Dale Stephens.

BREAKING: West Ham confirm that David Moyes, Josh Cullen and Issa Diop have all tested positive for COVID-19.
Two years is an eternity in terms of recruitment. Some clubs have dropped two full leagues in that time frame. I just mentioned Sven Mislintat in my last post and he serves as a very good comparison to Mike Rigg.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 7:23 pmNot been here two years yet and a lot of his work has been building up the recruitment department and academy work.

I doubt anyone outside the Board understands the club's finances just now with the damage that has been done to the revenue streams by the covid shutdowns.warksclaret wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 7:01 pmIf Rigg has anything about him, and he has now been with us 3 years so should understand our finances, and how SD and MG work.

I also feel sorry for the smaller clubs and think the answer lies with players taking pay cuts. A bit like the rest of the entertainment industry where people have not been getting paid at all.
