Probably, but this seems to be originating from Scott Burns and seemingly he's our mouthpiece.

I thought he’d lost that status since consi had left?

This seems as good a place to put this as any

Darren Mowbray has returned to the club on a permanent basis.

No quotes but the bbc saying killie are ready to listen to offers for Watson. Would be a really nice pick up. We can compare how we developed Ferguson vs the diminished roles of Barron, Lyall Cameron, and Luke McGowan, but certainly tough to compete with the Glasgow two, plus I think he’s a rangers fan??

For all the tedious shite we hear about JT "being backed", and big player budgets/spending a lot of money, we only had three signings on the pitch yesterday, and one of those is a loanee. The return has been exceptionally poor this summer, as expected. The sporting director and Mowbray only now joining has set us back a huge amount, and that has to be shouldered by Cormack. A total false economy spending a load of cash when you don't have the system in place.

I think I read Mowbray has been with us since April on a consultancy basis, would be interesting to know how much input he had to our summer signings. I think I also remember reading that the current Head of Recruitment is based in Portugal full time which doesn't seem to be ideal if the only time he spends with JT is on scheduled Teams calls.

If he’s based in Portugal, he’s either getting a helluva lot of avios or it does seem a bit impractical. I get he’s probably spending a lot of time online reviewing footage of players around Europe, so probably is a relatively flexible job, but would have thought it would be better to be in person.
