    Because nobody gets pulled up on speculation on that one.

    It brings me back to the fact, which is he said the recruitment strategy was not fit for purpose and the scouting network needed expanding.

    When we are faced with the fact I keep hearing speculation about Mitchell.

    Combined with the fact that time hasn't yet run out.

    ****ing ridiculous that people keep spouting lines about evidence. Offer me a plausible alternative and let’s discuss. Until then, kindly shut up.

    It's certainly a fact that he said it.

    Okay, players get scouted and suggested. Howe has final say and says players x, y and z wont fit in my system as they’re too slow, don’t pass and move, don’t work hard enough, too lightweight, too heavy weight, or they’re not the position I seen a priority.

    When we do become interested it needs to be signed off in Saudi and it takes ages. It’s whoever’s the administrator in Saudi that is the delay that I believe is costing us deals.

    Roland, I think you would definitely be one to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

    Do we genuinely think this is the case?

    Because Saudi clubs are snapping up premier league players left right and centre which is actually helping our allies.

    Felix moving to Saudi for 44m has just helped Chelsea.

    I can’t believe that we are missing out on targets because of admin.

    It didn’t happen under Mandy?

    Yes and he's seen what recruitment looks like at varius top flight clubs in different countries, so?

    Instead of people acknowledging the fact surrounding the issue in question and it's validity, all we get is rants about how awful he is and all kinds of other speculation.

    Then we need her back because if that’s the case we need a person at the club who is doing the do.

    This current setup isn’t fit for purpose. And why on earth would YAR come over if it was his team that is the problem?

    Jordan nailed it.

    Last year the narrative is Howe was hamstrung by a divisive Dof getting in the way

    This year the narrative is Howes got it hard because he's got no Dof to work with.

    Which is it?

    It's mental gymnastics

    Don’t think it’s just his team, new CEO and Sporting director need appointed and I’d personally catapult Silverston the **** out of there as he’s got to be the worlds ****test salesman ever when it comes to commercial deals. Guy has brought the square root of **** all to the club that wouldn’t have been there through enquiries alone.

    Would be great. She wasn't afraid to be bold and sell the dream and she had thick skin.

    Everyone else including Howe will give a politicians answer on everything and play down the project in fear of ridicule and self preservation.

    Staveley would give everyone the lift required.

    I suppose you would be the most qualified to judge.

    We are ****ed plain and simple. We've won a cup and the top 6 didnt like that so have closed ranks.

    At the same time PIF are funding Chelsea via Bluelake, have let NUFC management rot on the vine and we now have two scouts leading recruitment
    Man u apparently have sent a 4 person delegation to speak to Sesko. Do we even have 4 people actual in place that could do similar?

    Not one Saudi club has come in for any NUFC players but they continue to sweep in for our rivals players and continuously pay over the odds.

    Ignore the talk of being number 1, use your eyes and see what is going on.

    NUFC cant be no 1, wont be allowed to be No 1 and my bet is that Saudi will buy out Bluellake so Chelsea become No 1 and NUFC will be sold.

    Why cant they announce a new CEO has been chosen and subject to visa clearance it is XXXXX. There's talk a new SD (Nottingham Forest guy) has been chosen. Have they actually engaged with Forest to find out how much it will cost and what garden leave is required?

    Zero comms at all but hey, why dont the fans buys samba trainers and the new green top - that takes inspiration from the tyne bridge........perfect it's neglected and in urgent need of attention too.
