No PL manager should expect to be afforded that amount of power, especially over the DoF appointment. Mitchell has a good reputation, so if Howe genuinely doesn't like it then he'll br the one at threat.Just read an article claiming that Howe wasn't consulted on the addition of Mitchell and that he's feeling a bit peeved that he wasn't consulted first as he doesn't know Mitchell. It goes on to suggest that Howe is an empire builder who prefers appointing those he trusts and has pre existing relationships with, wherever possible.
