It was in that really bad written Mirror article today! So not sure if its true or not as the article was so badly written and researched!

After it was in the Mirror I think :lol:

Really don't know much about Presland, I'm guessing we may see some changes in the scouting department.

From The Mirror:

...Another indication that all is not well at Tottenham has come with the news that chief scout Eddie Presland has left the club. He is rated as one of the best scouts in the country.

Anyone know anymore details than this?

Yeah, that was kinda the point - if it's old, where's the news? First i've seen of it, did a scan around and couldn't find a thread that talked about it, nothing on the official site...

How old anyway? When did he go?

I would not cry a river if Eddie left. If all the scouts in the club left I would not shed a tear. Esp DC.

Ramos mentioned that his scouts alerted him to Modric years ago.

Lets steal his old scouts so we can pre empt talent instead of waiting until they become the captains of their u21 team and cost millions before we notice.

Seriously, Sevilla made some amazing signings over the past few years for little cash. Rather than buy the players at inflated costs from Sevilla, get the people who put them there in the first place :grin:

"he's rated as one of the best scouts in the counrty"

they're making it up as they go along. He was at the club long before the current regime and the many evolutions before that. where are his "gems" ... i think "he's rated as one the Meh! scouts in the country"

I love the way he's left.. not gone to another club... just left. All is not well so he's decided doing nothing is better than scouting for Spurs. Right?!!?
One of the best eh Mirror?!... I suppose that's the same as Saying "The Mirror is rated as one of the best newspapers in the country"

Presland is 65. If anything, he's retired—but there's nothing on the official site.

The story appeared in the Sunday Mirror, in an article written by 'journalist', well-known Gooner and total prick St-Steve St-St-Stammers, along with the obligatory pop at Comolli. Worryingly, a condensed version of this appeared on COYS yesterday, attributed to BEN, with a claim that this was the start of a wholesale clear-out of coaching staff and players Ramos doesn't rate (or is that players BEN doesn't rate?).

Ignore.
