Maybe there is already a plan in place for those players to come in the summer and thus they feel able to say their names openly.

 

They didn’t give the name of the other player they looked at who went to another club (likely Digne)

I think it is clear they yammer on too much to anyone who will listen which is endearing but has got us in trouble already (Emery fiasco for one). I suspect it will die down once there is a proper structure in the club CEO and more and they wont be needed to do any hands on (and indeed would undermine the CEO etc if they were publically talking about stuff he is meant to have some authority over).

I think that’s rubbish to be honest. What do they yammer on too much about? The Emery deal, yeah, maybe you have a point. But what else have they done that leads you to use the words ‘yammer on too much’?

Thought this was interesting regarding  the director of football role: 

 

“We were accused of not knowing what we were doing, that we had to get someone in before January because it’s all about the transfer window, but for us it wasn’t. It’s not about one year. It’s about five or 10 years. You need to bring in the right person to make the right decisions.”

Personally loved reading that article, after years or second guessing Ashley and that fat thumb looking cunt Charnley, it is so refreshing to get an insight into the club and what our owners want. Unprofessional? Not bothered at all, would rather read some things that they should probably keep to themselves than complete and utter silence. 
 

Love how they want a training ground on par with Leicester’s, with all of the club on one site. And also love that they’re going to look at extending SJP.

My first thought was Alli. But yeah, more likely Digne.

Aye 100%
 

As much as I would have been buzzing with Digne, I think Targett is better business playing behind ASM

I was hyper critical of them over the Emery farce - go back far enough and the evidence is on here - but I don’t think they’ve put a foot wrong after that.
 

They’re good advocates for the club and can articulate the vision for it pretty well. They’re not from the Garry Cook school of chatting absolute shite to try and gee up the fans. It’s just jarring to have people in charge who actually talk to the media.

At least our owners actually own the club, unlike our dear neighbours. 

 

It's been said countless times already but these guys are night and day compared to what we endured before. They may not be fully media savvy, maybe say more than they should or say it in a way that other chief executives maybe wouldn't but give me that each and every day of the week. I love the raw, open honesty of these interviews, same with Dan Burn and Matt Targett's interviews. Nowt flash, just them being them. If I wanted slick, rehearsed management bullshit bingo I'd tolerate more Brendan Rodgers than I need to. 

 

To deviate even further, Chris Whitty is excellent at his job, arguably one of the best in his field internationally but understandably is very much the rabbit in the headlights when the world's media is in his face. Poor guy just wants to see the four walls and maybe a window of his office.

These buggers read nufc social media like [emoji38]

 

They seemed to have answered a lot of questions posed by the fanbase on these very forums and Twitter. If I were them I'd just glance and then retreat.

 

Just glean the general consensus of the fanbase and work toward that, the SJP one definitely.

 

I find it refreshing to have these articles every so often and they come across as honest and sometimes a bit naïve, but they are clearly aware of what needs to be done and are putting it into place so :clap:

 

Get this basket case of a club right and you're laughing tbh.

There’s not a thing wrong with anything they’ve said and other directors or managers have talked about other players not singed too. These owners are smarter than people think, it’s part marketing too to show the ambition. Keep talking like they do, it’s what we all want to hear deep down. It doesn’t bind anything either - the only thing that’s binding is a contract.

Unprofessional is having an MD run round the pitch naked after a bet with the owner, or an owner drinking so much he vomits into a fireplace. 

 

This is just a bit naive, ultimately harmless enough and refreshingly honest. 

 

 

 

 

This is NUFC. There'll always be some who find a negative in anything positive.
