I hope Eddie isn't gonna make PL based English players his hill to die on. Mitchell has clearly been brought in to tap into the foreign markets and it's vital that happens.

 

This has become one of those things people say so much that it's just accepted as true now. He is building a team around Botman, Bruno, Tonali, & Isak...

Powerplay move from Eddie. That said, I wonder if his obessive nature can make him unwilling to delegate. He's spent his whole managerial career basically being in control of absolutely everything. I'm not sure how well he handles not having complete authority.

He is letting the club know that if Paul Mitchell is allowed to force foreign footballers on him then he is off. 
 

Seems like the battle lines have been drawn already. Worrying.

There are clearly many reasons, why do you think we flew to AC Milan on the day. It wasnt for the good of our players, it never is

He’s had the run of the place and final say on transfers even with Ashworth there, crucially have the new regime agreed this.

 

Also talk of wanting Almiron and Wilson to stay doesn’t scream of looking at bigger picture with PSR.

Eh? I thought it was largely positive. He won't leave for England, but he wants definition in his role after recent changes at the club. I'm not seeing what the press pack are.

I thought this was just a meme? Bruno, Botman, Isak, Tonali - all massive investments, none of them English or PL-based.

Very Rafa-esque quotes in his last few months here. Worrying.

If you knew the ones we decided not to go with you'd be shocked [emoji38]

He's playing a good game of poker there. I suspect he doesn't like having a Sporting Director over him, and that goes for when Ashworth was here too.

 

If Mitchell proves to be good at this summers recruitment then I don't think there will be a problem. But he's given himself an out there.

 

If the FA don't rush an appointment there could well be a situation where he gives them an indication he'll talk to them towards end of August.

Anything to stir basically.  They haven't got what they wanted and so now need to spin it for clicks

Just now, Miggys First Goal said:

So basically he’s saying to the owners “make me happy and I’ll stay” while also fluttering his lashes at the FA?

He says “England isn’t important” and many comments about his love and commitment to Newcastle. I’m not sure how that’s fluttering his lashes to the FA


it’s two seperate issues he’s no interest in the England job and wants to stay but the other issue is lines seem to be blurred within the club and he wants it sorted
