    I see he's been named in the Sweden squad, be interesting to see if they play him or not given that he's had no pre-season or started any games. Training is one thing but game time is completely different.

    Yet our 'fans' blame a relatively inexperienced Howe and not the relatively experienced Nickson

    Howe suggests targets and Nickson is responsible for getting them. Clearly when the owners are stepping in there is a big problem.

    Hopefully he gets snapped in half.

    Our CEO should be employed by the PIF like Man City have done.

    Someone who can make a phone call and greenlight things, not someone who has to contact an intermediary and have them attempt to greenlight something.

    Takes too long

    Can’t speak for everyone but I only blame Howe and Nickson for who we’re going after.

    Jacobo Solis should be our CEO. Seems like since he became involved things moved quickly. YAR obviously trusts him which given his position in PIF is no surprise.

    I 100% blame PIF

    1. For not sorting out the CEO role and SD role in time for the window (or putting temp arrangements in place)
    2. For giving Howe what seems total control of the club. Howe is amazing, wouldn't swap him for anything but too much control to 1 person is not good for the club
    3. Taking too long with everything.....

    He managed to score 14 and look good in a struggling Wolves team last season. You'd hope he'd better that if given a better supply line, which we should be capable of providing. Might be able to match your hopes.

    Rumours a couple of days ago that Man Utd were open to selling him. At that point it was a certainty that someone would throw NUFC's name in.

    So you were against going for Ekitike, Pedro, Sesko, M'Buemo, Trafford?

    Seriously?

    Yes and no. Move on, fast, when you know rejection is likely. We have little to no backup plan, and as I say we're not 'there' yet.
