Aye - the mistake is hiding the fact that Villa had shat the bed up until that point.

Maybe they should offer a Sports Direct mug to, surely that move Wolves on the matter 👀😂

I think Pep might actually want a maverick though.

Would love a season review dvd

Freedman is also more Howe aligned on transfers. Likes his English football experience but also finds bargains.

But surely we won’t do that if that’s the consequences? So I don’t get why it’s something we would worry about.

Whoever replaces him will also keep bringing in young players. She needs a numbers person if so. She’s not that evidently.

It was definitely Baggio. Being stuck up here with very little highlights I watched those videos over and over

Some club

I think Barnes finished our top scorer that season with about 6 goals

So they haven't even reached agreement properly with Wolves?! God, I hope someone else steals in while they're mucking about like this.

It happened at the end of the final "Black and White" VHS video that came out quarterly for a few seasons. I used to have to hunt all over Glasgow in HMV, Tower Records etc to get copies of it.

Would love Cunha at the toon - perfect player to feed Isak

Sure it was at the Shearer unveiling. Strategically placed shirt on the back seat of the car to stir the shit

Apparently she can't comeback , too much baggage .

Snide cunts. Quite happy to exploit the clause to stop a bidding war but also perfectly happy to ignore how long it takes to pay it, absolutely typical of that lot. Always want to run with the foxes and hunt with the hounds

Actual secret CCTV footage from inside SJP…. Mitchell presents transfer strategy: Howe presents feedback to Mitchell: Howe speaks to HR:

Definitely Baggio btw. Del Piero wasn’t all that in 1995

So ... I didn't realise the club Freedman joined in the Saudi second division (which I always thought was weird) is actually PIF owned. Remember there was talk at the time we failed to get him that the financial package wasn't attractive enough. Well ... what if he's already working for us, but is just parked in a random Saudi lower division club, and so can be paid much more by PIF, without it showing on our books! Clever work around? At the very least we can pretty much lean on him as much as we want with him not working for another European club, but an obscure second division club in Saudi. I think we may have been pretty slick here and have been very clever. Also means we avoided paying compo to that twerp at Palace

At end of the day the Chairman makes the overall decision and (imo) this would have been discussed and decided after the game on Sunday. Not great that two sporting directors have been and gone in a flash, but, it's also certainly not good if there was major divisions between parties, especially with a massive summer coming up.

Remember reading a couple of years ago that our xDoFs 2023-2025 was 2.8 so that's some great data

This happened and was on Look North. My Grandad used to record absolutely everything to VHS and that was something I’d not seen before. One day I will work out how to convert the VHS to something relevant

Perhaps they've done the right thing and despite their differences, Mitchell has agreed to stay until the end of the PSR deadline to get some business done. Ultimately Mitchell still has vast experience at negotiations and working with agents etc. Even if they are not his players, he might be professional enough to actually do his job for a month.
