Liverpool boss Hodgson appoints Alan Harper to senior scouting

Roy Hodgson has appointed former Everton player Alan Harper as a senior talent spotter at Liverpool.


Harper began his playing career at Anfield but never made a first-team appearance for Liverpool, before moving across Stanley Park to Everton in 1983. He won league, FA Cup and European Cup Winners Cup medals while at Goodison Park and later enjoyed spells at Sheffield Wednesday and Manchester City.

More recently, Harper has been working as a scout at Bolton Wanderers. However, Hodgson has now appointed him to a 'senior' role at Liverpool with a remit to identify and recruit the top British talent.

According to the Daily Mirror, Harper will report directly to Liverpool boss Hodgson.

So he's about to get sacked is he?

 

[HC]

Argh!

Has he replaced someone or is it a new position?

Hasn't this been posted in another thread?

God knows, but how awesome. A former scout for Bolton Wanderers! Just what we need - a man looking out for the next Kevin Davies.

I remember Alan. Looks like an ugly jack russell licking piss of a nettle.

 

[Avmenon]

Well, this is a bit shit.

 

[manwithnoname]

Ugly Bitter, Ex-Bolton scout and rather shit aswell.

It really does seem as if Budgie is doing whatever he can to make every Liverpool fan think he's a massive cunt.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Bit odd as he's meant to be walking tonight. This bothers me for lots of reasons.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

So what talent has Harper spotted so far in his career then?

 

[Woland]

He won the CL with Barnsley on FM

Bolton use to take in most of the has beens. Easy to spot that, I think.

 

[Mistadobalina]

Hes rubbish.

 

[Jack D Rips]

Fucking hell. A google search brings up Alan Harper Anglican Archbishop of Armagh before our new scout

 

[RolandG]

This appointment doesn't make sense if Roy is on his last legs and about to be shipped?

 

[TheBunnyman]

Hmmm...

 

[Hansern]

Could have been agreed ages ago, and they could feel that he is a scout a new manager would want to work with aswell.

 

[grjt]

As they say in the provinces, Roy has lost the fucking head....

 

[spider-Neil]

okay, this is worrying. if roy is about to be sacked why are the board allowing him to make a long term decision?

 

[Avmenon]

It's likely to have been agreed some time ago though.

 

[Richey]

Its painful to watch. Hodgson's job is on the line and the best he can do is to get Alan Harper in to save it!
