Louise Taylor too. So daft

 

I got the feeling she was doing that to make up for the Tonali question.

deffo a bit of trying to suck up to him.

[The Prophet]

Didn't really see the drama with that.

 

Hope and Bird asked some very leading questions and he does seem less than impressed with some of Mitchell's comments.

 

But overall he said, he's happy, no one seems to be treading on his toes and ot sounds like he'll have minimal contact with Mitchell, which will help if they don't get on.

 

Largely positive for me.

He's an absolute fucking bell end is Hope. Just listened to the press conference and its no where near as bad as he's made out.

 

Look at him here retweeting stuff, he's desperate to cause a shit storm. Showing everyone what he's all about in my eyes.

 

Complete prick.

[Scoot]

The written press seem to be trying to cause such a shit storm based on Howe's comment of not speaking to Mitchell since Mitchell's interview even though Howe said it was completely normal.

 

Fucken arseholes the lot of them.

[alexf]

Only natural the press are going to sensationalize everything. We used to be the laughing stock of the league for various "dramas" even pre-Ashley. But recent years we have been run extremely professionally, so they have had nothing to feed off.  

So if they sniff out the slightest issue that could help try and unsettle our quality manager so that we are less of a threat to their beloved cartel. Then they will take it. 

[Shearergol]

I do find it slightly concerning that they've had no contact though. Seems a little bit weird to me.

[PauloGeordio]

They’re scared! Can’t stop what’s coming. Us!

Why? Why would they need to? I don't get it. Howe even said its not unusual.

 

I dunno like, we had a shit transfer window which both Howe and Mitchell said was disappointing. You'd think there would be a quick debriefing? I'd understand that them not meeting would be normal if there weren't so many questions around the window....

But they aren't strangers? They've no doubt been in contact and knew how things were going in last week and final day of window? Nothing has changed or come to light for them to discuss. We might have questions, but they know th answers. In fact, Howe gave them in the press conference before last game. 

 

That's why I only find it slightly concerning

 

 

[Ginola14]

refuse to click on gutter journalism links from the Daily Mail, anyone who writes for them shouldn't be taken seriously 

 

the media in general seem desperate for more drama at the club, it's all quite pathetic especially the constant emojis and headlines trying to sensationalise everything 

 

suppose it might help create a seige mentality which hopefully Howe can use to the team's advantage

It's not concerning at all though. (Well, to me anyway).

I mean, that's good. I'd rather nobody was concerned about it at all. I'm sure it'll all work out anyway.

[HaydnNUFC]

The summer was an absolute failure and things clearly aren't hunky dory behind the scenes which has been gone over aplenty but Craig Hope has always been an obstinate pot stirring twat who loves the smell of his own shite.

That documentary made Edu and Arteta look like partners.  
 

It’s been international break though.

The media, on the whole, have despised us for decades now. The best we ever get from them is a pat on the head and a patronising comment along the lines of "daft Geordies".

Ever since the takeover, I've been hoping our club, staff and the fans take a leaf out of the old Millwall book -

"NO ONE LIKES US, WE DON'T CARE!".

Couldn't they have done that before Mitchell's interview?

Fans should also do this. Fuck all the DCs trying to upset our apple cart. We're making cider.

Said it before, they’re all completely dependent on Howe for relevance. So myopic and cynical. Remember the lot of them palling up to him in the press conference after CL was achieved. 

[80]

Watched the conference. God he's a consummate professional.

[Kanj]

I guess I need to watch the press conference. Iike I said before, just feel like regardless if the journalists are making a meal out of this, it’s a completely unnecessary thing the club have gotten themselves into.
 

Howe joined us before Mitchell, Eales and Bunce. Howe has given practically his life to this job, Howe has given the fans belief, Howe attacks every match with the goal of winning, and Howe respects the supporters and is a class act on and off the football field. I’m backing him over any suit who thinks they know any better. 

[Zero]

I think that’s pretty obvious that after the summer window, Mitchell got the V for the transfer power. So the implication of “no contact” should be now Mitchell doesn’t need or want to discuss with Howe for future transfers / squad planning 

 

Which is what Howe dislike most. We all know that.

I just hope Mitchell doesn't focus his transfers on what the club needs in two or three years rather than what Eddie needs now !! I reckon Howe would leave if Mitchell had total control.
