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.

That sounds more like it, cheers. The mind plays tricks...

Can’t say I’m disappointed, or surprised, at the news. Would love to see the real views about him and his views on his role made public.

She lost her job for reason. Need to move on.

Shepherd left a Del Piero shirt in the back of his car once iirc.

No

This is probably insane but… bring back Staveley as CEO? She seemed very good at setting an overall positive, progressive culture of excellence for the club. Then she and Eddie jointly lead recruitment of a DOF they both feel comfortable with? Not sure she’d do it but I honestly think it could be brilliant for the club.

rushden is a two club supporting sycophant also

Could be that officially he's still here and technically on board with everything but in reality he's already been cut out of the loop totally and things are happening without him being involved at all? Who knows. It seems very sudden and unexpected but I've got a feeling it was decided a while ago and kept under wraps until the season finished, wouldn't surprise me if they've already got someone lined up but probably feel the need to wait a couple of weeks to make it look like a bit more authentic as opposed to knifing him and replacing him before actually announcing it? It does suggest that the communications and structure at the top of the club aren't as good as they need to be though. We've been through a bit of a churn of directors etc and it's only been a few years now. Decisions, announcements and communications with fans seem long and drawn out due to maybe a lack of clarity of roles or reluctance to make a decision or getting things signed off or whatever. They're delivering on the pitch regardless but they could do with getting their shit in a pile off the pitch too. It seems way too clunky and difficult atm

Case closed.

Even worse if the uninvited guest is bald.
