He has had various jobs at several clubs, including Senior Scout, but whats this?

Grimsby's new scout?

NOPE

He is Grimsby's new RECRUITMENT MANAGER.

A job completely different from being a Scout.

Does this mean Ollie might take a step back on finding players and concentrate on other Managerial things.

No, thats the coaching staff.

Recruitment Managers spend all their time watching YouTube videos and phoning their mates to see if they know anyone who doesnt have three left feet

I'm sure we've had a similarly titled Head of Recruitment before when Bignot was here and they used to put the cones out on a Saturday afternoon.

One of Ollie’s excuses today was that the scout who had vest he’d them said the played a certain formation but today they played a completely different one, so that maybe his new job will to be able to understand different formations and what team plays them.

Does it matter what his title is as long as he finds some worthy recruits?

Give the guy a chance.

Ginnywings is right give the bloke a chance , we are all drunk off after today but I would be more hacked off if the club were doing nothing in recruitment dept.

It’s plainly obvious Holloway has let Covid cloud his judgement and panic bought anyone it seems to bulk the squad for this stockpile of games that don’t seem to be coming too thick or fast.

I hope Holloway admits his mistake , takes drastic measures and releases at least 10 including most the loan signings and then works with a small nucleus of players to get them playing one way, letting his scout/recruitment man bring in at least 3 quality players .

I would bite bullet financially  and offload green and Hanson

Ollie did say that the guy was going to be charged with replacing the outgoing players with new players that are upto it....so he is recruiting in all fairness......Graham will find the players....Ollie will sell the dream.....John will be in charge of the contract negotiations......top of the League by March

Loss for Holloway to do leaving him more time in the training pitch and prepping for games, has to be a good thing.
