All of those clubs you mention are blank cheque clubs despite the occasional noises that they're skint or in PSR trouble. It fucking stinks we're not allowed to invest in the club to grow revenue, absolutely reeks of protectionism which football bodies skirt around or turn a blind eye to because they're scared of losing those clubs. Where the fuck do the football authorities get the notion that it's perfectly acceptable to draw a line in football's ever changing sands at some point this century and say 'that's it, these are our selected clubs from now on and it can't change bar temporary blips which can be put right'. Honestly, football really fucks me off these days and the media don't help to put it mildly, the likes of Liverpool, Man U etc should list the the likes of sky and TNT as actual partners because they've played their part in the growth of those clubs over the years and it's actually getting a lot worse. I sometimes wish I could take out the NUFC chip in my brain and toss it all off at times.

It's time we sold Hayden to a PIF sister club for £300 million.

It does feel like those at the top of the club appear to just be treading water. No major transfers in ages, no movement on a new stadium or training ground. Eddie Howe is the man holding it all together. The sooner we get a new CEO in the better.

It's still early days in the window man. Chill

I think Mitchell probably was a good appointment on paper. His recruitment record is impressive and he had been doing a massive job, basically running the technical side of the entire red bull operation (what Klopp is doing now). But for whatever reason, it didn’t work. None of us know exactly what went on but it feels like Howe, his nephew and Nickson are now calling the shots on recruitment. The club need to back them after three austerity transfer windows. Surely they will. Can’t expect Howe to work miracles every season

Anyone believing that it would be a Hot Mitch Summer should remember who made this prediction. Also a big shout out to the posters who questioned the “Lads, we have people in charge that know what they are doing” rhetoric.

I get some of these names were probably just paper talk, but Trafford, Guehi, Delap, Cunha and Mbuemo were linked for so long by so many different journalists you can only assume they were genuinely on Howe's wanted list. He chooses his words carefully when speaking to the media so Howe's comments that we need "speed" in this transfer window were said with purpose, because he knew other clubs were hovering around his targets and were ready to bid early. To be 3 weeks in and see £700m spent on (amongst others) - Frimpong, Kerkez and Wirtz to Liverpool - Reijnders, Cherki and Ait Nouri to City - Cunha and (almost) Mbuemo to Man U - Delap, Estevao, Essugo, Paez and Sarr to Chelsea - Tel and a couple of others to Spurs - Zubimendi to Arsenal While our announcements include exciting news that Mitchell is leaving after less than a year, we are 3 years into scoping out a new training ground we are still no closer to making a decision on a new ground. Let's make final judgement at the end of the window, but it's been a fucking anti-climactic start after what was one of the best seasons in our history. The likes of Isak, Bruno and Tonali won't be hanging around much longer if Willock, Wilson, Targett and Longstaff are still getting minutes next season.

Probably means they don’t have to sell Sememyo now. Or they’ll just extract £90m from Chelsea when they inevitably come calling

Hot Mitch summer is coming to the boil. I could barely sleep last night, fucking sweltering

Were we even linked with him?

He'll probably elbow his way in at some point.

That’s Tits McGeesusfuckingchrist!

No

Presumably the other player's fault for ducking or something.

Is that Tits McGee sitting on the left?

Pretty much this

I’m back at work this week after a fairly lengthy break and they’re making me do day shifts for now. I was a bit annoyed by having to miss the start of this test until I checked the score when I finished at 8. Anyone got a very quick and concise summary for me?
