His improvement was radical second half of the season, he shut me right up. But both fullbacks need proper competition. To do that we need 2nd fullbacks capable of dislodging them. Jones couldn't dislodge an uncomfortable bowel movement.
£3mil is a bargain - Levy negotiating skills have a met a new match with our new CE or BSA - not getting byrned now -
We weren't getting 'Byrned' before, She didn't negotiate fees and contracts. We had a Director of Football. Infact we've had two. Did you not look into what DoF's do when we hired the first?
I have a good idea what DOF's do re transfer acquisitions. I was making the point that Byrne was heavily involved In many of our recent inflated dodgy signings , really most of the time since she arrived here. Levy's hard balling negotiating stance is well known in football. So Yedlin fee is reasonable.
I'd snap Spurs hands off at £3million, as Bri says the development rate second half of season was vast. We'd never lose money on that deal.
How? Other than attending the transfer and wage budget meeting she'd have with Ellis, manager and the DoF, how was she involved in transfers? She wasn't, she was CEO of a massive company, getting involved in transfers that deep would be akin to dictating the food orders, deciding the supporting act for Byonce or deciding the match day squad, it's beneath somebody in that role and they don't have time give it that much attention, that's why we hire people to oversee and run these areas. http://www.safc.com/players-and-staff/board-and-executive-management She rightly paid the price for her handling of the AJ trial but she had nowt to do with transfers.
