These are the kind of investments that could pay off longer term rather the splashing out on anything rash.

In any case, it's just so nice to see us looking professional and credible. These are the kind of optics that will help recover and improve our image with other clubs, players and the wider footballing world in general.

Matt's a great guy and been to see a few games over the last 2 years, home and away. Really knows his stuff ..... knows absolutely everything about the Bundesliga too!!

He was in front of me in the queue at Oxford City last time we played them. Had seemingly dragged along a load of student friends who hadn’t experienced Southend United before. He spoke with Justin Rees who was arriving at the same time.

Yes , I wonder what John Still and his team of scouts will make of it all. Hopefully they can all work together with the rest of the coaching staff and also JD. An awful lot of people employed in the recruitment of players for an NL club.

When you say employed I don’t think they are all full-time on recruitment.

Recruitment was only a small part of Demi’s job description; I don’t even know if John Still is technically a full-time employee. Certainly his scouts won’t be. You need a lot of people watching games, probably for beer money.
