His return could be the biggest thing to happen this season. I'm not a big fan of Lloyd Kelly (early days, I know) and I reckon the step up from him or BDB to Botman is massive.
The trap people fall into with the likes of Mitchell (as they did with Ashworth) is solely laying the blame for any amount of failure at their doorstep. Mitchell is the head of a team working with other teams to achieve common targets. Yes he's accountable, but he's not the sole reason we may not sign anyone or may sign someone who turns out to be a bit shit. It's like people blaming Shola because Kuol went to Hearts or wherever it was, as if the club let Shola Ameobi make that decision on his own
As with Ashworth I think we're putting far too much thought into all of this.
Well that's a relief. For a second there I thought we may have been paying our Chief Execs and various managing directors for absolutely nothing when we could just put everything to a vote in front of pissed up radgies in-between Sweet Caroline and Seven Nation Army
Get back to me when he hits 20 goals in a season. Brentford are a much better side than Everton have been since the mid 00's and he regularly finishes the season in single figures.
