Bunk Moreland

From Douglas: "Former Real Madrid head of global partnerships David Hopkinson is expected to be appointed as chief executive before the season starts" https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/why-newcastle-benjamin-sesko-reservations-alexander-isak-future-3836915

It does, but it sounds like it's coming from the Burnley side. He must have left some impression on them

From Craig Hope: "The club got the appointment of Paul Mitchell badly wrong. Internally (and externally) they’re still picking up the pieces of his tenure. For example, I’m told that his dealings with Burnley were a large part of the reason why the James Trafford move did not happen sooner. Sources close to the Clarets say that owner Alan Pace was left livid by some of his interactions with Mitchell. Mending such relationships will be one of Wilson’s key tasks."

CEO "imminent", sporting director wont be until "next month" according to Hope

Sky have footage of him driving away What was he doing for three hours?

Inter De Winter

Interestingly Hugo Guillemet, one of the most reliable French transfer journos has RT'd Bruno's RT. Probably nothing but let's go wild anyway

Awkward

£27m iirc

Forest just announced their new signing and Wilson is quoted in the article: https://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/news/2025/july/31/forest-sign-ndoye/ Not sure how close this appointment is

Every time I see Milan fans discuss Thiaw they say he's their CB with the highest potential, but that for whatever reason the coaches they've had haven't worked it out properly for him. Eddie would definitely be able to get him firing if he came here.

The Standard reporting that he's returned to train with the team, while Sky reporting that he's turned up to the training ground but not training with the team https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/brentford-wissa-to-newcastle-transfer-latest-b1240881.html https://www.skysports.com/football/live-blog/11748/13279280/brentford-transfers-latest-news-rumours-and-gossip-live-updates-goals-and-highlights?postid=9958719#liveblog-body

Thank you! Now I can get mad

I just re-watched the relevant sections of the most recent 6 Romano videos about us and he doesn't say this in any of them. Are we sure it hasn't been made up by a Liverpool aggregator?

Anyone know which YT vid this was in? I've had the displeasure of watching most of the recent ones and can't remember him saying it.

No idea, but it being Brighton probably £80m

Another tweet from the Dutch journo on Van Hecke. Apparently we were put off by the asking price. Not sure if that refers to the price before or after it was known he wouldn't sign a new contract.

Aye, possibly a case of journo consulting Transfermarkt
