Martin Waldron suspended.

[Azza]

Everton have suspended their long serving head of academy recruitment Martin Waldron.

Staff were told of the move at a meeting at the Premier League club this week.

The decision comes after news last week that Everton are being investigated by the Premier League for allegedly breaking rules on the approaching of young players.

The club are alleged to have 'tapped up' a young player at Cardiff City.

A letter sent to the Premier League alleges that Waldron approached the boy and his family when he was around 11 or 12 years old. The boy never moved to the Merseyside club and is now at Manchester United.

Waldron has worked for Everton for 23 years, starting out as a scout before progressing up the ladder at Goodison Park.

Last night Waldron put the phone down when asked for comment on his suspension.

Everton said they did not wish to add further to the statement released last week that said they would co-operate fully with the Premier League investigation.

Tapping up young players?

Bet Manchester United also tapped that lad up

 

[Toast]

We can't even tap up an 11 year old properly.

Sake.

A packet of jaffa cakes for the lad and new motor for his arl fella would have done it.

It truly is bad enough living with the rs pact with the devil, but the curse Everton live under whereby every time we do something every other damn club has done to us, we get clobbered, is really beginning to cheese me off.

He’s been their years . One of his lads has been given a big role with the academy too .

It’s weird this as you’d think he would know better . Or maybe he’s a fall guy for a new regime .

Every single club does it though.

My lad has a mate who plays for Man City U13`s and it`s common knowledge, that Man City pay every single bill for his parents and a family motor.

It`s just that hardly any get caught that`s all.

I suppose the FA will want to make an example and punish this behaviour but then never take action against another club ala Niase retrospective ban

 

[Eggs]

..perhaps the club are trying to demonstrate it was the action of an individual and not policy. Hoping immediate internal discipline might lessen external punishment.

Indeed.

We are the perfect size. Any club bigger is untouchable.
