If the BBC is to be believed we are appointing Alessandro Brito from Botafogo as new chief scout. Now, I know there is a vacancy but I am somewhat underwhelmed to say the least. Also, is this a little "Cart-before-the horse" bringing in somebody before a trainer is sorted out? He might of course be a scouting genius and time will tell but, the obvious questions arise as to his knowledge of Palace's traditional fishing pond i.e. the Championship or delving around in the young/talented/cheap (relatively) European scene. Our experience with promising brazilians is only bad and those that this guy has scouted for Forest that are suggested as prime successes are not imho worthy of the title.
