    I think he is a good signing. I think he’s popes replacement and Pope becomes no2.

    That's a separate argument... The point is he was probably right based on his occupational experience.

    That’s a good shout then. Let’s hope he is here to appoint some staff who are competent.

    This last 2 months have been a ****show.

    It's almost like what Mitchell said was right isn't it? Obviously upset a few.

    He highlighted the need for a more strategic and wider-reaching scouting network, especially with FFP regulations.

    They'll probably back up something he's heard before and changes will be made.

    A lot of people seem to be ignoring this. A lot of people seem to still being Howe followers and happy clappers and as such will never criticise the current situation.

    Howe is a good manager. He’s not anything else.

    Questions also need to be asked about what Rueben has been doing. On the board of directors and supposedly has a role to 'drive the long term strategy and support commercial ambitions'.

    The thing is you don't have to pick a side.. You can simply ascertain that Mitchell has seen what recruitment should look like at various clubs and that tells you something.

    Whether people liked hearing it is immaterial or me.. It's just important to make the changes to improve recruitment.

    I'm not interested in good guy bad guy stuff. He was either right about it or he wasn't and I think his occupational experience gives me the answer.

    My issue with this is they were all short term appointments with a smell left behind them when you dig further not it. **** him, he’s gone. He did the square root of **** all.

    I'm not concerned whether he's here or gone, but if he was right then changes need to be made to get recruitment strategy and scouting in line with top flight clubs. That's all mate.


    Howe has actually recently said it was difficult for him without Paul, so it's clear he was doing something.

    I take it you're not a Howe fan or happy Clapper and you don't believe it is Howe that turned a relegation threatened team Into a team that's won a pot and qualified for 2 champions league tournaments.
    Nobody outside the club knows what is or what is not happening at the club and then again, only a select few do know what is happening Everything is pure speculation with a lot of our so called fans pissing their pants over nowt
    Seriously people need to get a grip

    Aston Villa is the blueprint of what a scouting network and recruitment team should look like.

    They have staff living very close to clubs all over Europe and can act fast... I'm not making this up I saw it on a short documentary.

    This is absolutely right and why Craig hopes version's of events is something I ignore. If we have something from the horses mouth that's worth taking note of and considering.

    That's what I mean. I think he's after an improved contract.
