Think we need to keep up with modern best practice and hopefully this new employee will improve our team.
When Bob Shankly was the Dundee manager nearly all the Dundee players lived in Dundee and Shankly had a spy in every public house in Dundee and Broughty Ferry.
I personally know a person who lives on Islay who had a two week trial when he was 16 years old at Dens Park.
It was reported back to Bob Shankly that this person had been drinking in a public house in Broughty Ferry.
His two week trial period was immediately terminated and he was sent back home to Islay in disgrace.
