Lush Vlad Posted July 26, 2025 Share Posted July 26, 2025 (edited) He may well have had a point. But his legacy here seems to be saying that line. I think whilst pissed on stage bragging about how many pints he’d had. Or was that a different fuck up?! Oh and supposedly promising Howe he’d get Guehi here last summer. What a waste of fucking time he turned out to be. Maybe just a professional blagger who never lasts anywhere. We all know people like that.

If I had a penny for every professional blagger who never lasts anywhere fucking over the club over post-takeover, I'd have two pennies. Which isn't a lot. But it's weird that it happened twice.

Ellis H Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 It feels extremely unrealistic that Mitchell wouldn’t have found at least a few new first team level targets in the last year given it’s a big part of his job (“90% recruitment”) and with how unhappy he was with the process last summer. Seeing how this window has gone, I wouldn’t be surprised if he left because Howe didn’t want his input and only wanted the players on his own list. No doubt we’ll be hearing his side of it soon enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jemo96 Posted July 31, 2025 Share Posted July 31, 2025 Maybe he was an agent planted by the cartel to disrupt and Howe found him out hmm? or he was just shit at his job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famous Nick Posted July 31, 2025 Share Posted July 31, 2025 all stems from CEO issues. Eales is ill, he doesnt care about Newcastle, rightly so. so whoever the CEO reports to (owners) is at fault sadly. a CEO with serious responsibility would have not let Mitchell do fuck all then resign right when most help was needed from him.

I wonder who the CEO does report to though? It's easy to say owners, but even the owners will have delegates for that. I don't imagine A- Rumayan or Reuben sit in on these meetings and make decisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted July 31, 2025 Share Posted July 31, 2025 CEO/Club given a remit to get things done, there will be controls and resolutions in place to what has to be escalated to the Board for approval, and there are likely sub committees on the board that can make decisions without full Board approval. @TRon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm talking about, some recognisable names on there. Iv'e been critical myself with how they have let things drift with the Eales illness situation, but even so it does seem like we are still trying to recruit best in class when it comes to CEO, DOF or other positions. We might not be doing it very efficiently, but the intent is there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted July 31, 2025 Share Posted July 31, 2025 I’m liking this chancer even less now he’s gone than I did when he arrived. Feels like he’s left a few mines/booby-traps around the place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
