Paul Mitchell - Sporting Director | Not at Newcastle

Always hard to get consistent work after being in Eastenders for so long.
 
Eddie Howe wins
Interesting to see what they do. If it didn't end too negatively with Ashworth I wonder if they could take him back...

Edit: scratch that. Just seen he's been appointed as a director for England.

Ashworth also didn’t get on that well with Howe. Hence why he left for United

I thought they did up until he left due to the interest. Seems like the bridge was burnt though due to everything. I assume they will get someone Howe likes ala Arteta at Arsenal now?

Howe only wants to work with (white) British people. He had a sneaky suspicion that both Ashworth and Mitchell were hiding their ancestry and wouldn’t agree to a DNA test.

Reports suggested Ashworth felt impotent there as Howe didn't want him involved. It was part of his argument for wanting to leave and not work his gardening leave.
 
Eddie Howes brother is basically Newcastle scout or something isn’t he. Just like Fergies brother at OT

No wonder 2 separate DoF felt undermined
 
I will be astounded if it’s not Dougie Freedman replacing him. Currently rattling around some PIF-inflated second division Saudi side since March after leaving Palace for a ‘unique opportunity’. Al-Diriyah pay the compensation to Palace so it stays off Newcastle’s books, PSR dodge complete.

Be a hell of an appointment for them, he’s boss.

That would make sense. He was already tapping up Guehi. ;)

Didn’t know that he had left.
 
Why is Eddie Howe getting all this control like he's Fergie reborn?
Won them their first trophy in like 50 odd years and CL football.

I’m sure Ineos are happy enough with Jace and Viv, but I would laugh if we got him though.

What about them becoming by far the richest club in world football? Are we saying Howe would have got anywhere near a cup in the Mike Ashley era? Not for me
