Stifler Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) If we get Pope via a relegation clause we are not supposed to know about, then Burnley must fucking hate us, if they don’t already. Taking Wood off them, who despite being poor for us, would have done a job for them, unsettling Tarkowski, and beating them on the final day of the season to relegate them.

jack j Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 To be honest if we end up spending 55 million plus on botman and ekitite and we are only spending 100 million I'd find it abit of anti climax like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) We’re going to play second fiddle to the clubs in Europe with the player big guns. Building a team with young potential will be much more exciting though! Edited June 16, 2022 by RS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also spent £100m in Jan though, £200m over 2 windows is a pretty heavy spend for any club. I was expecting us to spend anywhere up to 150m this window (with sales) but I think it’ll be closer to 100m now unless we get one big surprise signing.

The College Dropout Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Those stats lead me to believe Pope may be better than I’ve given him credit for. especially command of his box and rushing out of the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes the odd save every few games, does OK but never really does anything that any keeper wouldn’t do. And he looked very shaky when we were playing badly and under pressure. I don’t know that much about keepers TBF. He was shaky when he first came back from injury but the save he made away at Leeds helped turn the season round. I rate Pope but would prefer Sanchez.

Ikon Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Do we know who does the negotiations for us when it comes to transfers? Who is pulling the strings trying to get the deals done. Do we have anyone with a known pedigree in this field? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Amanda, Mehrdad, Jamie Reuben. And now Ashworth. Im not sure how involved Howe is but he was a bit in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I think the plan is that Ashworth builds a team for this. Obvs the owners will still be involved but there will be more people to do the leg work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We scout a player, we like said player, we approach the parties involved, agent, player and club, find out kind of what everyone is asking for and we negotiate, sometimes we will pay the asking price and wages or negotiate down or offer incentives to bulk up the price or we walk away. I think everyone at the club from Howe to Nixon and the owners and now our new DOF will be involved in the process with PIF signing off on any deal due to the finances.

Guest HTT II Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 What our new DOF will do is implement a better scouting network and also relations with agents and clubs like Carr kind of did but he was a one man show. We probably need someone still to do the (financial) negotiations to better effect! It just shows you given what we did in January how well we actually did as none of them (the owners) have any experience in that side of things and as much as Nixon and Howe were involved in identifying targets, they probably had zero input in any of the negotiating of money and contracts side of things.

Guest HTT II Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 We would do well to actually, as much as I loathe them, have a few agents on the payroll because they have experience in negotiating deals and contacts and can advise the club RE clauses, what a player may end up demanding say after year 3 at the club and so on. Chelsea used to do it and most Italian clubs in the 90s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
