    Can’t say I’ve seen that many rants about Mitchell and pales into insignificance in comparison to the speculative criticism of the Howes

    CC, you're continuously throwing stones based upon your suspicions. You're just as Matthew Hopkins as the next person <laugh>

    Then perhaps you need to see it to comment because it was all far worse.

    No way it was worse than the criticism levelled at the Howes

    He’s a top player, like Verbruggen. And, like Verbruggen, we seem far more likely to sign Harwood Bellis than an actual PL player.

    Im bored of saying it, you guys are bored of hearing it, so for the last time this is a clusterfuck, I think Howe is largely responsible but hopefully we’ll learn.

    You haven't seen it and it was mate.. It's all about him personally and using insulting foul names.

    All I said was recruitment was diabolical and nothing even close to what I've seen leveled at Mitchell on here.

    Yeah, the article suggests that Man Utd have him on standby, as backup in case Sesko chooses us, not that they're going for him in addition to Sesko. Though they probably will if they think we want him.

    Would need to see examples as I’ve not seen it. Either way it reinforces my point that it’s all speculation

    Newcastle scouting network should just fold and you have 1 guy just watching the premier league. It really is an absolute shambles with no insight or talent spotting required.

    Jordan also rammed it hard that they were both media peddled narratives. Nonsense I think he called it.

    It does highlight how people find ways to justify an emotional bias. They can create the story they prefer no matter what happens.

    A similar example will be

    1.If things go well in the window they'll say well done Eddie... See what happens when he's got full control.

    2.If things don't go well they'll blame Mitchell, PIF or some other poor bastard.

    No, hence I asked. If you can explain to me I’d appreciate it.

    Hasn’t psr been around for a good few years (pre dates by ffp)? As far as I’m aware wasn’t something the ‘big 6’ voted in during February after Newcastle won the LC though?

    BTW last 5 years.
    Newcastle net spend 413m
    Liverpool 404m
    Man City 403m

    and on your last point. The bigger teams are more attractive than others? Isn’t that football? Lfc lost players to Madrid. There is a pecking order in football and has been for 40/50 years. Newcastle losing targets to lfc and United isn’t a new thing that’s happened since feb?

    Hard to have a decent net spend when you start in the dirt… but great point.
