Don't agree with this but totally understand the sentiment behind it. His job is to ensure we have continuity and should be responsible for all transfers, if he can't do that job then he's got to go.

You don't remember all of the noise after Ashworth departed about not having the control he was promised?

Can't believe this, two sporting directors in 24 months. Doesn't reflect well on us at all.

Eddie will be leading this window.

Nah, this will definitely be a power struggle. This is a disaster.

If true, power struggle and Eddie won?

Given his reach he probably knows more than most NE journalist's.

How does your first option sound but sell say Gordon and make it 5 top quality players minus a Gordon? I think this is what id do. If I had the option. Mandatory disclaimer: Gordon is very good etc and or course losing him would hurt yada yada.

Absolutely, same issue with Isak right? I'm sure we would listen to offers for him btw but the money we need to do a deal is so much it's not possible. One of the unintended consequences of PSR is basically the funneling of every club to the same profile of player. The big clubs with expensive older players better pray to God the Saudis will take them if not they are stuck. I mean Bruno F is good, but other than the idiots in Munich nobody is paying huge fees for players pushing 30.

The funny thing is, we've been as close to perfect as possible so far. We've literally walked a line which can't be seen. If anything the difficultly with buying purples is the pool of clubs who can buy them from us is absolutely tiny, this is what we found last year with Bruno, nobody could give us a price which makes sense.

Timely reminder for everyone that Manchester reds ownership is as bad as Ashley was.

From a selfish point of view it would be nice but I can't say I'm worried. Eddie has proven himself to be an elite talent developer.

They can afford both him and Cunha?

We are at the point where we either have to give him a new deal or sell him.

That's a shame, good poster.

What happened to Brummie?

No chance it will be a lower basically salary with more bonuses. Tells me we aren't signing a striker this window unless we can't get him to sign which is a mistake.

We will never learn.

Reckon he will be gone personally. Fund the rebuild.

After spending the GDP of a small country and being extremely lucky with how the fixtures worked out at the end of the season. (That Liverpool performance was nothing short of a disgrace)

If he signs for basket case FC. We know for a fact his primary motivation is money. (Which is fair enough).

Oh. Ok fair. I always think back to Rafa as his blanket analogy when it comes to these things though.

Because they absolutely rinsed us, we mentally over ratted them.
