Not Liverpool related really!
But want to ask the Ed’s who they think have the best football scouts in the business!
I see Brighton have done well I’d be leaning towards them?

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea, Ajax and Barcelona stand out. But it is the structure that is important. Brighton’s recruitment team have departed.}

Chelsea!?!?

You sure.

{Ed002's Note - Yes, they have recruited many exceptional youngsters again and have developed plans for the future- having one bad season has not impacted any of this.}

Chelsea produce an immense amount of talent. Arsenal and City both seem to be a cut above the rest too right now. Liverpool is improving, but seems a bit behind the times still. Same goes for United.

I think Chelsea have won more than any other english club the last 20 years. I reckon they’ve recruited fairly well. Definitely have the best academy in England i wish we had similar.

They’ve spent a huge amount in the last 20 years also. I do think Liverpool are improving but still seem a long way behind Arsenal, City and Chelsea in this regard.

Brighton are the elite at this now. Ed who are they planning on replacing Mac Allister with?
I’d be getting that guy!
Because Every time someone comes in, they’re better than the previous.

{Ed002's Note - No. Their recruitment department have left. They have a replacement in mind.}

Chelsea probably should've given Potter more time to get that group to play as a team, I think they will be up at the top end again next season, they need a striker though.

{Ed002's Note - They probably should have kept Tuchel.}

You thoughts on Pochetino, if he is Chelsea’s new manager? Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - You need to ask on the Chelsea page.}

Chelsea have broken every rule going to get where they are with the academy and probably first team. It’s like the criminal who does unspeakable thing’s to accumulate wealth and then sells the ill gotten gains and pretends his next venture is above board and best in class. Chelsea like Man City should be discounted from any trophies and praise. If you can’t win by fair rules then don’t enter the competition.

{Ed002's Note - In what watt have the Chelsea academy broken every rule?}

not sure every rule but haven't they not too distant ago serve a year transfer ban?

{Ed002's Note - Do you thin that worthy of a ban>}

not at all, but just stating that they must have broken some to have gotten it.

So the real question should be where has Brighton recruitment team gone? Could be signing of the year lol.

I heard Dan Ashworth oversaw the scouting dept at Brighton brought in a change of scouting so instead of the geographical way of doing it changed to a positional way of doing it. So they send scouts anywhere to look for say a FB (estupinia) spelling! as opposed to say being assigned to just S America

Also expect Brighton esque signings at Newcastle as that’s where he’s gone
Been playing Xbox with a bunch of geordies for 15 years so know just as much about their club as I do mine lol.

Brighton owner Bloom has a sport intelligence agency which is separate from Brighton the club. This way it’s hard for other clubs to steal his best nerds or methods.

Ed002 Chelsea invested massively before FFP came in and it has put the club on great footing ever since so I don’t know what rules they broke and not even sure what the ban was for.
Their Academy has been by far the best in the the league over the last 20 years.
I think the investment Chelsea did when Roman came in was one of the biggest reasons FFP came in with the likes of Madrid and Barcelona not liking somebody have a bigger budget than them what I find a check with the way there league is set up for them two to take more tv money out than the rest of the league.

And we all know Roman got all his money from the massive chain of pet farms and children’s sweetie shops that his mate Vladimir gave him the franchises for. It was either that or the millions and millions he acquired from the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
