gbandit Posted October 10, 2025 Share Posted October 10, 2025 Have no strong feelings about this at all. Hopefully he’s a good fit, the only way we’ll know is if he’s at the club in three year’s time and we’re in better shape than now. No sporting director should ever be in post for less than 3 years and if they leave before then it’s because they’re awful or a snake Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted October 10, 2025 Share Posted October 10, 2025 Hopefully this is the last time we hear his name mentioned in the media. Just get down to business and let actions speak for themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted October 10, 2025 Share Posted October 10, 2025 2 hours ago, Shays Given Tim Flowers said: Is this a good appointment? If so why? My footballing knowledge outside of NUFC is very limited. Pretty much because he apparently has Eddie's seal of approval really, and we really need someone that can slot into the current setup and work well with the people in place already. We really just need an experienced DOF that can navigate the agent world and already has contacts and relationships built up over the years. I just can't see the club continuing to make progress long term without someone settling into this role longer term, and so really good to see this sorted, with someone the manager is comfortable with. Has pretty much been my only concern with Howe, is finding the right person that he can work alongside in this role, because we have to have someone in there. Never really agreed with the view we could operate without one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recruitment team seem to know what they are doing. Yeah, certainly how I see it. I don't think we're after someone that is going to come in and advise on what players to sign necessarily. Moreso just need an experienced deal maker that has relationships and contacts with agents etc to make deals much easier to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoFs need to be accountable and their actions visible - otherwise they can skulk around in the dark, casually wrecking things and unfairly destroying the reputations of their higher profile colleagues. He doesn't need to be all over the media, but realistically he should be somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't need to be all over the media, but realistically he should be somewhere. This will indeed be his job. They might let him buy some upcoming players if we have budget for it. It doesn't mean its bad though, he's of a profile where other clubs probably won't look at him so has potential to be around for Eddies entire tenure. Additionally it seems like we can't renew our players until he's in place so that's another positive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted October 10, 2025 Share Posted October 10, 2025 We've had 2 big name Charlie's since the takeover and both have hampered our progress one way or another and left us knee deep. I'm all for someone competent coming in and carving a name for himself with us, someone to steady the ship and have a solid working relationship with Howe. No drama.

Miggys First Goal Posted October 10, 2025 Share Posted October 10, 2025 So Suds does his algorithm thingie and tells Wilson who we should buy. Wilson does the negotiating and signing shite. Eddie wins us the league. That’s how it’s going to work? After he sorts out all the contract malarkey, sell Willock to Forest for £60m, get Anderson back. Job’s a good’un.
