maze Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 What a f’ing wankfeast this is in the media. Really pathetic. Also, if true; Dan Ashworth - fuck off.

Miggys First Goal Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 How the club handles this will be massive in terms of people’s perceptions of us. Allowing him to leave for pennies and letting him work immediately will make us look like pussies.

Geordie Ahmed Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) At the time we got him we were rightly excited about the appointment and his credibility, people dismissing him now are clearly doing so as some sort of coping mechanism. He's clearly highly rated and losing him isn't a good thing, however it doesn't need to be a bad thing either. If he's replaced well then hopefully we won't feel any impact to him moving on. I'm not concerned about him knowing about our transfer targets/plans, there's plenty of players out there so we can easily pivot. My only wish is for us to make this as difficult for Man U as possible, they were being pricks when it came to us wanting Lingard and we should absolutely be the same back. I'd rather make them wait than accept a few million quid. Edited February 17 by Geordie Ahmed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Yes @Geordie Ahmed, I didn't really feel strongly about hiring him beyond the fact we were getting lots of pats on the back for hiring him. So to me the most exciting thing was NUFC demonstrably taking it's backroom seriously for the first time in my life. I think there are legit question marks over whether he's as good or important as his reputation suggests - everything about him personally comes across like a fraudulent NHS managerial consult - but on the balance of probabilities, he's one of the best at what he does, and his reputation itself is beneficial. If we lose him, so be it. I've got full confidence we'll hire someone of comparable if not superior ability. As one or two people have already said in this thread, if he's as good as he's meant to be, we'll have already absorbed a substantial percentage of the benefit of hiring him e.g. our new youth scouting structure, initial designs for our new training centre/s. We'll know what good looks like when we speak to potential replacements. Apart from the knife in the back, Eddie looked truly unfazed about him not being here in the future.

Expand Aye he was class for a period, couldn't believe we got soemone as good as him as part of a 7 mil transfer, given 7 mil was a lot back then and he was probably worth 2-3 himself. Erik Nevland... reminds me of the old Premier Manager games where he'd always be on the transfer list at the start of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I think this plays a role too though. The Arnesen stuff certainly highlighted Levy’s willingness to fight, later shown in other off-field areas such as West Ham trying to get a stadium for peanuts. I did find this contemporary article interesting: https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2005/jun/25/newsstory.sport1 A possible 3-point penalty . Pathetic.
