So DE isn't at the meeting tonight because he has flown out with Pep and Faz to Europe to scout. According to the Oxford Mail.
Surely a footballing matter unless they are signing someone there and then?
DE does not have to be there!
Well I don't know any of the details (I suspect the same goes for you?) but what if there is a large sum being offered for the player and DE wants to tie up the deal there and then before the player is poached by another club? I suspect if he is putting up anywhere near half a million or more of effectively his own money he may actually want to see the player too? Not sure what there is to complain about without knowing the facts. Personally I like that we are actively seeking new players. Would you be happier if we weren't?
They mentioned that Eales was there to talk to parents of the player. Must be a youngster.

Well I know someone who lives in Tackley and he saw fazza last night. So much for a scouting mission
Are we going to sign Benson and Hedges? I hear they are both great.Or a lads on the lash break from the “stress” of running the club. Remember the scene from Mike Bassett, England manager ?
This is a perfect illustration of the influence of having the owner etc present at recruitment:
Posted elsewhere, but notice how the player keeps mentioning how he wants to feel ‘wanted’....and was impressed when Benham etc came to the meeting unexpectedly.
Ah! the old double bluff routine.No. Eales would not lie to us about that.
