Examples? 

Loads to mention. But basically couldn't avoid going back to the summer and Eddie issues. Literally his first sentence was about how he'd never join a club mid transfer window again. Plus how rotten he was personally as a footballer. Talked about holding hands with Eddie at the boxing in Saudi. Became fixated on needing to drink several pints a day in stack to help boost his own transfer fund, and hoping to get Eddie to join him in the drinking too.

 

Like, I'm honestly trying to be charitable in thinking he must just be much more of a doer than a talker

But prior to that he was having a mare - I was starting to feel bad for him. He's been rocked badly by the past few months.

Mitchell logged onto N-O looking for the Best MILF thread but accidentally stumbled into the Transfer thread and realised there’s several hundred posters on here that have a greater level of expertise than him and could identify players, value players, negotiate transfer fees, sign players and sell players better than he can 
 

And they can all do it whilst waxing lyrical about xG and pontificating over the tactical benefits of an inverted 10 versus an outverted 6

Honestly, I felt bad for him. It's like you could see his balls were shrivelled up somewhere near his kidneys. I appreciated the self-deprecation but it never stopped

Fair enough, I didn't get that to be fair.

 

Plenty of people in high profile roles are shit speaking publicly 🤷

Eh?

He was alright man.

When he got into what he does etc, he seemed pretty good, but the light hearted stuff he said needs to be taken for what it was, light hearted stuff to ease people’s feelings.

It started as a light-hearted thing from Eales or someone about the club growing revenues for PSR - which was the main focus of the evening (building the case for a new stadium). But Mitchell joined in on the joke and kept going and going with it.

 

Tl;Dr: Paul Mitchell is like David Brent. Not a bad guy but can look like a wally.

Aye, he's talking bollocks, obviously had a few himself 🤣

[timeEd32]

Whether it's fair or not he's got 10-12 months to show something before the knives are out because he doesn't help himself every time he opens his mouth.

What have I said that isn't true?

Did they mention stadium plans ?

Held a straw poll over the idea of staying or going. They were palpably delighted moving was more popular than it had been a year ago. It seemed pretty clear it was the focus of the evening, talking about the struggles of raising revenues etc. before eventually raising the subject.

Ah, not liking a thing but not knowing what to do about it still being a thing.

People have moaned for years the "club" hasn't engaged with fans 

 

Now they are trying, the same people want to dissect every single word they say, and then attempt to spin it 🤷

 

Take from it what you will, but don't make it into something it's not.

The engagement's basically great, and I've gone out of my way to not eviscerate Mitchell considering where my opinion of him has been at. I'm moving from thinking he's a snake towards that he's surprisingly socially awkward, which is a promotion. It's far easier to believe now that the set piece interview he did for the press was genuinely a comedy of errors rather than a political attack.

Imagine a world where people are judged on how good or bad they are at their job, based purely on public perception 🤣

I don't really want to get into a discussion about the role of sports directors again, but if we can't judge him on his public conduct, and the blowback resulting from it, or on the outcome of transfer windows (because according to some, Eddie is bullying him into trying to sign Guehi again), what can we judge him on? 

 

That's not a problem with Paul Mitchell, by the way, I'd ask that question about anyone with his job.

I hope he’s not stumbled on the MILF thread and seen Fizz stinking the place out?
