Steve it appears will be responsible for advances scouts on opposition, how apt, that we both turn over a new leaf today.

And for those wondering about Stan's recent record;

  • Managed the Irish national team to a 5-2 reverse against Cyprus
  • Joined Leeds United as assistant manager in Feb 2008, Leeds didn't win a game for 4 weeks, Manager McAllister and Staunton were sacked in December
  • Became Darlington manager where he won 4 games in 23 before being sacked for achieving the lowest ever league attendance at the ground - 1,463
  • Middlesbrough appoint Staunton as scout in the season they were favourites to get promoted, they don't.
