    Lee Johnson reveals how Bristol City have been looking for new talent since former chief scout Des Taylor was sacked
    Mervyn Day has been helping the club to scout potential targets for the summer transfer market
    ByGregor MacGregor
    Bristol City revamped their coaching set-up last month as fans favourite John Pemberton was replaced, while head of scouting Des Taylor was also dispensed with at the same time, despite only joining thew club in the summer.

    Jamie McAllister was promoted internally to help head coach Lee Johnson and assistant Dean Holden on the pitch, but the club has yet to make an announcement on a replacement for Taylor.

    Last weekend, Steve Lansdown spoke about Taylor's sacking in an interview with BBC Bristol saying that "he didn't quite fit" with the club.

    The Bristol Post asked Lee Johnson what the latest was in regards to scouting at the club with the summer transfer market approaching and whether another appointment would be made.


    "That's a Mark Ashton [Bristol City's Chief Operating Officer] question to be honest," replied Johnson, explaining that: "Of course I'll play a part in that. Not a huge part, but big enough to effect the person coming in.


    "There's somebody doing it short term at the moment. That's Mervyn Day. And Mark's got to decide how the club want to structure that scouting sytem.

    "As soon as the focus is back onto recruitment, which it's not at the moment, of course, then I'll get involved and help out where I can."

    Bristol City host QPR on Friday hoping to move further clear of Blackburn Rovers and the drop zone, ahead of a titanic encounter at Ewood Park on Monday.
