    Paul Mitchell, some kind of scout I believe, but heavily involved in transfers.

    Paul Mitchell - Head of Talent Identification.

    Les Reed's main man basically. There's a transfer committee at Saints, it is composed of:

    Nicola Cortese
    Les Reed
    Paul Mitchell
    Nigel Adkins

    We can just pretend his name is Phil, would make transfer negotiations easier.

    Thankfully not! Paul used to play for MK Dons, but retired in 2008, at the age of 26. He was riddled with injury.

    Have also heard Adkins refer to him as "Head of Recruitment". Would suggest he has quite a lot to do with transfers. I think he''s the bloke we headhunted from MK Dons and who worked closely with Karl Robinson.

    NC is the focal point to most of our transfers, not expecting any transfers until he's home.

    Guy who told me about Forest enquiring for Sharp has now said that they have had a £3 mil bid rejected by us, seems pretty confident on it.

    Haha.

    1) Why would we let a quality striker go
    2) Why would he drop down a division

    Agreed. He turned us down last year because he didn´t think we were going to get promoted and his dream was to play in the prem, so I don´t see why he would want to drop back down to the championship after finally getting there.

    That is very odd. I know it doesn't show him but that page has been created as it wouldn't show had it not been.

    Weird, and out of order too I'd imagine.

    For all we know it might be from a few years ago, though. If they were close to signing him.

    He used to play for O'Driscoll at Doncaster. Therefore this story is definitely 100% true and not made up.
