He came in and started a **** storm off. Whether he thought that things were being done correctly or not that sort of thing should have been dealt with indoors so he was unprofessional at the very least. We can factually all agree on this. He then reneged on a promise to Alexander Isak with regards the talks of a new contract. We can all agree to this as we’re witnessing what the fallout is currently. So he demoralised the squads harmony. He then started on the background staff, not the coaches or physios but people like the office workers, receptionists, security guards, cooks etc. coming out with new management bollox such as to be on time is to be late and all that ****e then being constantly late himself and arguing do as I say not as I do. You can believe me on this one or not it’s up to you lot but I believe the person I got this from 1 million percent. He clearly hasn’t had many deals lined up as we’ve signed Elanga and an Eddie Howe favourite. There’s hardly a queue of signings awaiting medicals. So we can agree that he’s a director if football handling transfers and he managed to snag 5 development and academy players - ****ing mint work for a director of football with a champions league campaign coming up. Part of the reason Trafford never signed a year ago was because of Mitchell’s bull in a china shop behaviour which royally pissed off the Burnley chairman. Again you can choose to believe this or not. So he’s signed no first team players, pissed off the owner of a club we were on good terms with previously, upset our star player and pissed off the back room staff. He was also ****ing shoved out the door, not the story it was by mutual agreement. Mint work. Got to say I thought he’d have done well here but was wrong.
Reportedly that's what happened with the Palace chairman too, during the Guehi negotiations. This was apparently why they jacked the price right at the end, rather than selling when we eventually met the original asking price.
