Gallowgate Toon Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Immense. He's seemingly a pretty strong advocate of getting good processes in place for cheap talent on the continent? Nickson may be head-over-heels. I wonder if we've changed strategy a wee bit with PSR troubles to be more value-focused. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Perhaps the timing of the Ashworth settlement wasn't PSR related? Very good, recruitment oriented appointment. I wonder if this has any knock on effect on the roles of Nickson and (Andy) Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I'm baffled though. Man Utd fans told us that no-one would want to be our sporting director because we made Ashworth honour his contractual obligations held Ashworth hostage? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Just envisaged Mitchell signing on the dotted line, before turning to Amanda and Mehrdad and being like "Right, have you heard of...." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronson333 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 (edited) Red cafe know … ’A decent compensation for Ashworth and the highly rated Mitchell as the Dof. Not too bad for the Saudis.’ ‘Fair play he was a lot of peoples first choice on here.’ Edited July 4 by Ronson333 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Mad how a non playing signing can be so exciting. Think this is the perfect appointment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 (edited) For all the talk about us being panicked and chaotic over the PSR deadline, we're suddenly starting to look quite slick again. I wonder if things have been overplayed. Edited July 4 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieT Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Excellent appointment. Best we could hope for, and, arguably a better fit than Ashworth. The fact that it’s a stock photo as opposed to one at SJP / elsewhere would suggest it’s come together rather quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
