    Also an odd thing to claim that we were going to review Isak's contract but then Mitchell decided not to.

    It's Craig hopes nonsense.

    Regardless even If that did happen it's most definitely not why Isak wants to leave the club.

    So since the takeover which signings weren’t up to standard?

    Vaguely remember it was deferred to the end of the season due to money being asked for and us needing to know if we would be in the CL or not. With my memory that could easily be wrong.

    The standard of the players was never criticised, but post Ashworth theres been very little come in anyway and Mitchell came months after he left.

    Ultimately Mitchell knows what recruitment looks like these days.

    To be fair the jury’s still out on Osula and Kelly brought in a big profit

    The recruitment strategy/ set up and the players are two different things.

    No I don't think so

    Osula recommended by maddog
    Kelly Bournemouth
    Vlach maybe but saved us from points deductions

    You'd be assuming that, but if correct the question is why? Are we assuming he suddenly wasn't capable of doing what he did at other clubs? I don't think so.

    He got fed up and left in the end btw, so?

    No chance in hell he’s coming. Because we have ****ed up every angle of this window, and you have to wonder what Andy Howe and his uncle have done.

    Surely it's Mitchells fault? Maybe the tea lady.. Anyone but the most obvious conclusion at this point.
