    Article is paywalled but in short:

    - Darren Mowbray joining the club this summer as head of recruitment
    - Has been head of recruitment at Aberdeen since 2021
    - Prior to that was a senior figure at Leeds, Middlesbrough and Burnley
    - Forming part of new senior leadership team of the football department: Wilcox, Mowbray + new head coach + new head of academy
    - Ankersen led January recruitment in absence of Joe Shields, but now Wilcox and Mowbray's remit

    What does our local reporter know about him? He's a Saints supporter from Aberdeen, can't think what his name is.

    A bit of a mixed bag - he`s brought in four good value foreign recruits (Duk, Ramadani, Roos and Miovski). Had some duds too - Stewart (our captain!), spent the second half of the season at MK Dons, Richardson, Morris. Some good loan signings - Scales from Celtic, Clarkson from Liverpool. Saints is a huge job by comparison, and he`ll need to hit the ground running of course. He`ll be shopping at John Lewis rather than Poundland - so it`s a bit of a risk, and I hope Saints have done thorough due diligence on him.

    The manager in the article was sacked a few months ago - and the Dutch winger mentioned (Besuijen) was packed off back to Holland on loan because his attitude stank.

    If anyone in football (and other walks of life) ever took notice of notice periods, yeah. :)

    You’d also think the targets he has put together for Aberdeen aren’t going to be who we are looking at.

    Perhaps he can recommend Aribo to them.
