Paul Mitchell

[El Prontonise]

Very good appointment.

[madras]

Wonder if they'll spell out his remit given how many thought Ashworth was a glorified scout.

[Abacus]

Can't wait to hear an interview from him

[aussiemag]

Turns out PIF are still pretty serious about the project. 

[Gallowgate Toon]

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.

[Coffee_Johnny]

I love it when arrivals just appear like this. Welcome to the toon Phil!

 

Spoiler

 

[STM]

Reckon him and Nickson is some combo.

[The Prophet]

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.

[STM]

Really want a quick signing now.

[Skeletor]

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?

That was always such a bizarre take. 

[Dr.Spaceman]

Just envisaged Mitchell signing on the dotted line, before turning to Amanda and Mehrdad and being like "Right, have you heard of...."

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.’

Anyone got any in-depth Athletic articles or similar yet on this Mitchell brother?

there's a lovely video which describes him as the transfer guru who could transform Man Utd - instead the get Dan 'centre of the wheel' Ashworth

[SUPERTOON]

Mad how a non playing signing can be so exciting. Think this is the perfect appointment.

[ponsaelius]

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.

Without a doubt. The whole financial hole thing is odd as they would have known the issue for a year prior.

Feel like this needs to be an automated daily post

[GeordieT]

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.

Not suggesting people—panickers on the pages of NO—have gone have half-cocked, Shirley?

Apparently they wanted Ashworth and Mitchell but the latter turned down the role, which was more recruitment focused.

[The Butcher]

We've appointed a class Sporting Director and the first thing some care about is the lack of ITK's

Last week was panicked and chaotic.
