    It's almost like Mitchells career experience lead him to the correct conclusion.

    Makes you wonder what he did actually do then when he was here. Absolute failure by the look of it. Pleased, in that case, that’s he’s gone.

    Safe to say that everyone, including Mitchell and excluding the playing/coaching, have failed.

    I wouldn't go that far because the won a cup and made the champions league.

    Without the PIF we'd have got relegated with or without Howe.

    No chance in reading an Ashley fans take.. Samual loved Mike Ashley mate.

    Even if Mitchell is an arsehole which I don't think he is, he still knows what recruitment should look like.

    He knew what it looked like. Botman, Burn, Bruno, Trippier, Gordon, Barnes, Isak.
    Unfortunately he didn’t follow suit.

    Landed us in psr trouble so we couldn't do anything until this summer and so far we're struggling still.

    Got a good enough team to reach the CL and win the League Cup though. Pretty fit

    Think we've done this but it ain't all about the short term or the players abilities. It's the longer term vision and scouting network requirements needed to avoid certain issues down the road.

    When we ran into psr trouble people said Howe wasn't backed.

    Most people said it was PSR restrictions biting.

    Actually I never complained about the situation because I knew the money was front loaded, but now I'm pretty sure there's issues with recruitment. I can listen to Mitchell given his occupational experience without liking or dislike coming into it.

    You fail to question the reason for his comments being made public as opposed to internally and, therefore, the veracity of his comments. You are naively or deliberately accepting them at face value.
