Mazzy Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Front my point of view this is only bad news. But no one knows what's actually happening so I won't get to concerned about it. Just hope he doesn't take Bunce with him and he gets replaced quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Just give the job to Staveley and be done with it. Give Howe what he quite clearly wants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Nickson is a scout, the job scope of a sporting director is much more all-encompassing. If Eddie wants to choose which players to buy and we are ok with that then promoting a scout above him makes little sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not in the short term, but in the long term I would say so. I've just jokingly said give the job to Staveley but maybe that's not the worst idea.

mattypnufc Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Christ some people are overreacting - but then I'd expect nothing less The way people are going on its as if we're losing a person responsible for signing some of the greatest players in the world and being super integral to our success. As I say I don't know the details of what he's done behind the scenes, but he can only be judged on (from us) what we've seen re: the players brought in (big bad Vlach, John Ruddy take a bow), and arguably Bunce (to which who knows whether it was planned too?). People need to chill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebelrouser Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Who was in charge of the mismanagement of finances causing us to lose Anderson and Minteh and buy the Greek keeper? Who was in charge of the Guehi negotiations? Hope that was Mitchell, but I doubt it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s good point, but we really need good, long term set-up and continuity. Obviously we are not the only one and not even close to being worst in the league but I think everyone wants committed staff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 My God man. This club Kind of glad this has happened tbh. Most people were against Mitchell from the outset with how things transpired, and even up till now were having a go at the guy. Think he made the smart move to leave, especially with Eales now having to step down, who was the one that brought him in. They should just make Nickson DOF at this point so there is continuity, and he is also comfortable working with Howe. Just hope Mitchell doesn't come back in for Bunce if he goes elsewhere, as he was a great acquisition. Long term not sure this is ideal, but while Eddie was s manager, it's likely for the best, as he isn't comfortable working with a recruitment focused DOF. Going to be very interesting to see how recruitment goes. At least now it will all be down to what Howe is comfortable with and there'll be no more blaming Mitchell for everything. All for the best I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Wasn't there a report a few weeks back that we where looking at appointing a Technical Director? It does make me wonder if this was in the pipeline for a little while, and they've just waited until the end of the season to confirm it, as to not cause some mid-season rumbles.
