Lucky Posted October 10, 2025 Share Posted October 10, 2025 Obviously best of luck to him but twice bitten, thrice……? I see it more of a committee now? Suds will bring the list or cross reference suggestions from Wilson or Howe against his database. If it fits the model they’ll agree on something. Jury is out Wilson, a lot of these guys have proven to be absolute charlatans so zero expectations this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted October 11, 2025 Share Posted October 11, 2025 (edited) Hopefully he stays longer than the others 😂In all seriousness it'll make a huge difference going into January and then crucially next summer. Club needs some stability now and with the right acquisitions next summer (or even someone this Jan if they’re available) we’re not far off becoming a seriously good team.

Keegans Export Posted October 11, 2025 Share Posted October 11, 2025 He basically just needs to make the deals happen, but have a strong grip on our PSR position. Say Howe wants a particular midfielder that he/Andy H/Nickson have identified. Wilson handles the negotiations with the player & club. He may need to go back to Howe and say "It's going to cost £Xm more than we thought so if we do this deal we might not be able to sign your first choice RB", then Howe will make the ultimate decision on that. Wilson then either seals that deal or moves on to an alternative. Likewise with contract negotiations. Howe won't be Wilsons boss, but it's absolutely right that he ultimately decides which players are coming in and out of the squad because it's his job on the line if we don't perform on the pitch.
