Everything I’ve heard from DA since his appointment was mentioned he’s said that they’re all basically the same job but what it specifically involves and what it’s called depends on the club.

From what I can gather from his role at Brighton, then the FA before that, Dan Ashworth likes to oversee a lot more than just player recruitment. I imagine he will want a scouting and recruitment team set up which reports to him, but will also oversee a bunch of other stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I quite liked the names we were going for this window (albeit unsuccessfully for the most part) hope we continue with the same list in the summer, providing we stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goalkeeper is earning rave reviews and would probably go for £25-30m. If that's what he can turn out from a minimal spend then imagine what he could do with us.

But "unlimited funds" isn't necessarily a good thing. He needs to not see it like that. The video game analogy is that games were better back in the day when hardware limitations were much more pronounced. It forced creativity, art style, etc. Now in the era of AAA games with ridiculous budgets it's all a bit shit. (Except Elden Ring. That's gonna be awesome.)

DMLeazesender Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) I'm no expert on these types of role but from what I have seen and read he looks like a brilliant appointment and far more preferable to some of the Johnny Foreigner types previously touted. His role with England shows he is respected and knowledgeable and will provide world wide connections, as will his England connections. Again, given the short time since the takeover and the complete chaotic situation that was inherited, I think the new owners are getting it spot on with the calibre of players and personnel being brought in.

Of course Rowan Atkinson also played “Johnny English”, which I guess also sounds xenophobic to you. Apologies if I have offended you and you find my terminology insensitive. You have made me think maybe Rowan Atkinson should be cancelled because he also done lots of socially unacceptable things playing Mr Bean. I’m pleased I have woke up to the subversive messages portrayed by Rowan Atkinson in Blackadder, Johnny English and Mr Bean. I shall pen a strong letter to the BBC. However, getting back to football matters, if you have any comments or opinions on those aspects of my original post, which follows the threads discussion about NUFC’s Executive Appointments, I will be more than happy to have a non judgemental grown up exchange.

Dr Jinx Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Aside from moving a little slower than they would have liked at some points, the new owners have barely put a foot wrong since they came in. We don't seem to be making any of the same mistakes other clubs with new money have made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only questionable things they have done are leaking the Emery interview, failing to sign another forward(but they were fucked around and I think they'll learn from that) and possibly rushing into signing Wood at that price though, even though he hasn't scored we probably would have less points without an actual striker so it's hard to point the finger really.
