I think we're approaching a year since the club began its extensive search for Eales replacement. A ****ing year?!? To find a CEO interested in taking on the Newcastle job?!
Jesus wept, maybe I should've gone into recruitment. I've seen this before about "oooh, new structure incoming" when in reality Mitchell will just disappear, and Eales will just carry on, then we'll have a weird recruitment period over the Summer. I mean, the timing of this is ****ing dreadful. Wasn't the problem LAST year that Mitchell appearing so late meant he couldn't have an impact on transfers? So are we going to get the same excuses trotted out this year, when the reality is Howe doesn't want to drop Trippier, Lascelles, Wilson and Longstaff from his squad? Christ, we'll probably get a new contract for Ruddy.
