KetsbaiaIsBald Posted August 6, 2025 Share Posted August 6, 2025 Assuming we do have a CEO and sporting director lined up I understand why they have not been announced. I would not want to be associated with this summers shit show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park's is good but too crowded now. If you want BBQ, Jung Yuk Jum, Yangmani, and Mongtan (less fancy) are my current favorites. This move really is a no-brainer for Son. LAFC already has a big local Korean following. He'll be the King of LA and put the club on the map for tons of casual fans while he's at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your going to be disappointed. New director of football will be responsible for signing players whom the manager has selected. We have structural issues which can't be solved without a lot of pain.

Kid Icarus Posted August 7, 2025 Share Posted August 7, 2025 Andy Howe and Nickson haven't done anything wrong. They're attempting to do a job they're not qualified for because our DoF and CEO left and PIF had no plan in place for this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is fair game to criticise the head and assistant head of first team recruitment after one player is recruited for the first team in four transfer windows. They are not blameless in this.

Not to keen on some of the supposed links mind, if Mcginn is the best CM we can come up with after a year of planning then i would have concerns about them.

Not having a DoF and CEO even just as resource, let alone for their contacts and expertise is negligence imo. Even in Jan 2022 we brought in that bloke to help with deals.

From what I've heard about what's going on behind the scenes it's had a gigantic impact and A.Howe and Nickson are essentially having to do much more than what's in their job description. Not having a CEO and DoF in place is a pretty big deal like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've mentioned it before but it's evident we blow smoke up our own arses and the hubris weighs us down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
