Both are world class in what they do Yep, they’re both good appointments, no arguments. Like I say, I’ve no complaints. But it’s what most clubs take for granted.

Kid Icarus Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 His profile seems a bit more respectable than usual. He only seems to RT Ornstein and Romano. That could be part of his attempt to gain a reputation though obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Hope this can be done ASAP. We still need 1-2 more players and time is running out I like Pedro btw. He looks like good enough to take the no.9 spot from Wilson next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if one has criticisms of how things have been done this window, okay, fine, but there’s really no reason to think there’s some sort of fundamental flaw or that the subjects of those criticisms will continue. We’ve barely had time for the director of football and CEO to hang pictures on their walls. Or create new revenue streams as this will happen next summer when shirt deal ends and we’ve hopefully made more inroads with acedemy. On top of this there’s so many players in last year of contract this year. It’s easy for people to judge and say things like just play £30m ffs but no matter how much we guess, estimate or discuss - we don’t know the full financial details of the club and what we can spend or their goals. i trust Dan ashworth & co as well as Eddie and if it takes a few windows then so be it as far as I’m concerned.

We’ve barely had time for the director of football and CEO to hang pictures on their walls. Exactly. To add, these new owners are spending vast amounts of their own money, whereas Ashley was not even prepared to have the club spend the money it could generate itself with the least possible amount of TLC. If they don't manage to bring in attacking players they actually want, and if Howe and co are happy to do so, I would rather we go a few months without than them resorting more panic buying. There is no need to panic; progress is being made on all fronts simultaneously and this first summer transfer window will hardly determine if the long term project will ultimately be successful or not.
