If Robson rates him as a scout then that's good enough for me.
has anyone heard about former norwich manager John Deehan, who is currently involved at northampton also being recruited in some capacity by Staunton?
i thought i heard it mentionrd on itv's regional round up last night but ive googled it to day and found nothing.
Sure Bobby is really in charge so no surprise he brings in his friends...
i think Deehan would have been 1st team coach at villa in Stauntons time there, so if it is true, then its far more likeky to be Stauntons decisionQuote:
