Has apparently done very well. Think he's at a lower league team in France at the minute. Would be too big a jump at this stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted yesterday at 06:53 Share Posted yesterday at 06:53 A DOF must be either from the local area or be prepared to live in the area for a long time to make this work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell always comes across well in interviews but as mentioned above, some internet crackpot ITK is far more believable than the true source itself for information for many people. I don’t think Mitchell comes across well. That’s where the problems started. Came across very bullish and strong minded - too much. Thise Geordie Journos say he’s ruffled feathers behind the scenes and I can see why. He was overly direct and abrasive in public interviews. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted yesterday at 07:29 Share Posted yesterday at 07:29 I would take Ashworth back. He wasn’t a transfer guy but could challenge productively in that area. He had a healthy tension with Eddie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yourself and many others are skeptical of the role eh? Maybe I'm projecting but I really expect the role to be a long term one and have a very broad remit. The club should have a philosophy like Barca imo and despite us having two highly reputable DOF im yet go see any philosophy implemented at all. It all seems very uncoordinated to me, at boardroom level that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t take someone back that’s been plotting behind your back. I know it’s a grown up world but in footballing terms that’s a line you can’t cross.

I've written pretty extensively on here about it, so won't do so right now, but yeah, I think the position tends to have very low accountability and is ripe for exploitation by verbally dextrous frauds. Re: the boardroom and it's appointments generally, I think there's a very strong argument we're extremely lucky to have appointed Howe and basically all the progress at the club, including off pitch, has hinged on him being here. I only really trust the decisions of him and Yasir among our upper echelons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEFAFWISP Posted yesterday at 07:52 Share Posted yesterday at 07:52 (edited) Wouldn't be surprised if it's Mitchell spitting his dummy out because Howe knows more about his targets than he does and kept poo-pooing them. Abrasive knackers are usually thin skinned posers anarl. Do better and try again Phil lad. Edited yesterday at 07:53 by GEFAFWISP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
