ExiledGeordie Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Just good to have the Ashworth saga over and now a new director of football. It gives us far more purpose and direction going into the main part of the transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so to, they constrantly talked about compliance from day 1. Alternative view might be that they wanted to show breakeven or even a profit so we can spend this summer. We have lost a few wages too at the end of last season, so going into the new financial year, it would not suprise me if we ended the year (and 3 year period) in pretty good shape. Either way. Its had to question or doubt the board, they have been spot on so far. Oh, and great appointment !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Spurs fans are absolutely raving about him - lovely to see! So we end up getting circa £12m for Ratsworth and this fella for nothing - genius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Like with Ashworth, I find it hard to get excited about any directorial appointment tbh. I'm sure the guy is good, but it seems to me like these people are often credited with work that they aren't necessarily directly involved in, especially when it comes to player identification and recruitment. Like I say, I'm sure he's competent, but the coverage this kind of appointment gets is always odd to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's getting credit for signing the likes of Delle Alli... even we were in for Delle Alli. I'm sure someone else identifies most players too. But aye - seems to know what he's doing. Glad he's in. Never been a sporting director before has he? Or has he? Again, I don't know who to give the credit to at Brighton. BUt Brighton kept a great handle of wages and when to sell players. Does Ashworth get credit for that? The Owner? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bondedcrown Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Fuck me it didn't take the experts tlong o tell us we are getting excited over nothing! The club are trying to move forward yet people still think Ashley is still here! You need people like this at the club as his remit will all encompassing and his knowledge has to be to our advantage?

The others, less so. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/aug/09/tottenham-head-of-recruitment-paul-mitchell-quits-nightmare Quote On Mitchell’s watch the club have signed eight senior players, with the latest being Victor Wanyama and Vincent Janssen this summer. The stand-out successes have been Toby Alderweireld and Dele Alli but the latter was pushed by David Pleat, the club’s former manager, who continues to act as a part-time consultant to Levy.

It’s more to do with having a structure and people in places that are competent in what they do - Mitchell is another welcome addition to this ever growing list - all clubs that have ambition must get this part right as well as things on the pitch - generally these go hand in hand Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
