    I remember that NUFC and CFC worded it differently in their communication? Might remember wrong though..
  2. I appreciate your opinion. Let’s see how it plays out.
  3. I think many people “feel” that Nickerson etc are pushing for many of the signings abroad, and Howe wants more of the safe PL options. It might be a wrong assumption but since this is a forum people should be able to vent their thoughts. Some obviously take this as criticism of Howe, while it’s not. Most want a balance approach. Honestly do not remember any panic re Gordon, some where very happy, myself included and some where skeptical, but I think that is a fair representation of normal football fans.
  4. I agree, and I am happy with the transfers so far and I am really happy with Howe as a manager. But clearly it has been a team effort where DOF and our scouting team have been having their say. Howe to my eyes has, as I mentioned in my original post a preference of PL experience. I just hope now that we are without a DOF we keep on our current path and not shift to an even more PL focused approach.
  5. My sole issue with more Howe power regarding transfer is that he seems to value PL experience highly. Nothing wrong with that, but we have to be better than anyone else to grow faster than the rest. We need to beat the market so to speak. To me as an armchair expert, it tells me that we need to look abroad to buy players, not to save money but to get more for the money. Bruno cost like 40, you get Billing or McTom for that in the PL. Lower potential and lower potential resell value. We need to be smart and take a bit more risk imo.
  6. Absolutely, we need to adapt more to games. Currently we are doing the same over and over, with the same performance.
  7. I am aware of the role Ashworth had. My point is that our scouting, medical and other backroom positions should be set up by the club with a long time perspective. That means our director of football should build this in his vision. A manager should operate independently of this, and have no say. I fear if we let Howe or any other manger influence this it will end in a lot of turbulence and us not reaching our potential as soon as we could. I am pretty confident that Ashworth would have stayed if we gave him the keys to the castle on the sporting side, my guess is that we didn’t.
  8. A bit worried about the noise that Ashworth was outside the inner circle and that he did not have the full control of the sporting side. I genuinely fear that Eddie have to much power and influence to much at the club. Get his nephew a job in the scouting department etc. This cannot happen and we definitely need a sporting director overseeing everything. This is not me not liking Eddie, he is fantastic. But to much trust in a job that is so volatile is not a good long term strategy.
  9. Diaby haven’t really impressed me so far.
  10. Get the fuck out of an online forum if you do not like armchair opinions like😂
  11. What a fucking shit display, i stand by that this is on Howe alone. First time I think I have criticized him…
