Ineos appointments - Who will they be?

[Wezzaldo]

Just read that Ashworth has an arbitration case in May that will last a couple of weeks. Fingers crossed it’s resolved by end of May

I predict a "resolution" will occur about 5 minutes before Newcastle have to go into a meeting room for the arbitration and divulge a load of company information in a forum where records are made public. What they WILL try and do is get the date of the arbitration meeting pushed back / delay it as much as they can.

Yeah I can't see them allowing Newcastle to keep him out of work for a year because they don't like the fact he wants to leave. He'll be here before the summer.

 

[Chairman Steve]

I get the feeling Brailsford’s friendship with Ashworth will act as the blurring line effect when Newcastle argue that Ashworth’s already doing stuff for us, like Ashworth reportedly going to Brailsford’s birthday party recently. It wouldn’t surprise me that the ‘great friendship’ point was intentionally put out there in the media, in anticipation that Newcastle aren’t co-operative and third party arbitration would be required.

It's bullshit anyway, Slot is going for around 13 million compensation to Liverpool as the manager literally the main guy.

We want a DOF and they (Newcastle) want 20 million+

Now that the CEO, sports director & technical director personnel have been ID'ed. Is there any latest on the apparent Head of Recruitment appointment?

Very important IMO because we're shit at recruitment. Any journalists said who'll be in charge of recruitment this summer? Hopefully not Eridivise Erik.

Still see rumours (but nothing from an Ornstein or a Whitwell) about Dougie Freedman, though also read stories about Newcastle wanting him as an Ashworth replacement

They’ve learned from the masters #115

Realised when the recent announcements came out that the new CFO is Roger Bell, Ineos’s CFO.

I’ve always held that Radcliffes’ part buy in was just a step in a process for him towards total/majority ownership - the fact he’s putting one of his guys in as CFO seems to be outside the “footballing matters only” initial statements. I still think this is a pre agreed process with the Glazers.

Good video. Maybe get Rangnick back as advisor for our open heart surgery. If he was in-charge instead of Murtough I think ETH would be in much better position now.

Very informative video

The video exagurates quite a lot, nearly all these players have not done as well as has been made out.

Fair enough, maybe, but still 10x better than how we throw 400M away.

Without a doubt.

And not to mention Rangnick didn't recommend most of those names infact few of them were already tracked by United before his arrival and what Rangnick said was United could have had likes of Alvaraz, Diaz,Vlahovic as they made move during the January transfer window .

Indeed. Going on about "levels" while describing Dias and his 16 goal contributions in 40 odd appearances.

I reckon the one's we should be kicking ourselves over are Alvarez and Laimer - the rest are either meh (Vlahovic, Morrata, Dias and Nkuknku), were beyond us (Haaland) or went for silly money (Enzo, Gvardiol).

I think Alvarez is nothing special, I think hes a city flop.

 

[diarm]

I think Alvarez is nothing special, I think hes a city flop.

31 goal contributions in 51 appearances, largely as an impact sub for City this season. Works out at a goal or assist every 110 minutes of stilted playing time.

I reckon if you made him the main man somewhere giving him a run of consistent starts, you'd see elite level numbers out of him.

 

[Fallon d'Floor]

What?

18 goals and 13 assists this season. He's a very good squad player at worst.

He's a bit burned out after 2 years of constant football. He's played the most minutes out of all the City players this season. PL.

Only cost £14 million initially.

 

[diarm]

In comparison, Foden has 4 more goal contributions while playing close to 500 minutes more football (goal or assist every 112 minutes) and everyone is absolutely raving about him.

I did not know he was that cheap, I was assuming 70m+ holy hell.

Yea I realize his stats are good, but I have watched him so many times where his overall play has been really meh.

He recommended Diaz too. He is now doing very well for Pool.

Hmm... If 14M "is true and no dodgy payment" City scouting, recruitment and negotiation team is really top notch. I would think that top south american prospect cost much more than 14M even sign them straight from south America. He was not exactly an unknown because Rangnick knew and recommended him.

Sorry I spelled Diaz incorrectly in my meh list. He's grand - I guarantee he would've looked like absolute muck in our squad.
