    We've gone in for 3 bids, Trafford looks the most advanced.

    The end of the clubs tax year is June 30th which means the losses from 3 yrs ago are dropped from the 3 year PSR cycle. All clubs are working to that deadline.

    The only clubs who have spent are the ones who have vastly greater revenues than NUFC currently.

    Even the red filth of Manchester, the huge revenues they have are still struggling to sign Bummo.

    Liverpool - League winners, lots of money. Champions League money, big commercial revenue.

    City - Sell players and over the last 5 yrs have a net profit of a couple of hundred million GBP, on top of the league and commercial earnings.

    I really dunno be the one to say it but everyone needs to chill out on the coffee and go for a walk, calm the F down.

    If we get to the end of July without signing, feel free to get lose your sh!t.

    It's a bit premature to be freaking out.

    On Mitchell, he's certainly not delivered anything for the first team. He has brought in some top quality youth talent, for what it's worth.

    Not much I know, we hoped for so much more when he was announced as our new Sporting Director.

    He flattered to deceive and ultimately leaves a disappointment.

    Regardless, the club, Eddie & the recruitment team will deliver what we need. The money is there and Sheikh Yasir is fully committed to giving Eddie what he wants to continue to ensure the club makes the Champions League and wins silverware.

    That's all that matters.

    Got to add that it was also Mitchell that brought in Bunce, so he instigated the transformation of the medical department.

    Mitchell had had his hands tied by PSR since he?s been here, no point is blaming him for not bringing anyone in when there nothing to spend in the first place.

    I think the players we are trying to sign aren?t that keen on joining us, if they were they?d make it happen like Gordon. Like Pedro for example, watch him sign for Chelsea now.

    Think you might be blowing up a bit early to be honest Andy.

    How do you know?

    Have you spoken to each of the players we've been linked with? Got the 3 we've made bids for on speed dial? Had Joao Pedro on the phoney selling Tyneside like a member of the tourism board?

    Howay man, give ya heed a wobble, ya completely unfounded negative sh!te is boring now TBH.

    In fairness, I can see why Phoney and Andy are worried, given our lack of first-team signings over the last three windows and PSR meaning we haven't got any leeway when making signings-we can't afford-literally as well as figuratively-to overpay or make any mistakes.

    That being said, I'm not worried. We'll do some very good business in this window.

    I get it, like I said previously. It's understandable. Us Geordies' are an emotional bunch.

    However, transfer windows non sequitur events.

    In reality, it's not an accumulation. Our frustrations at the lack of incoming signings over the last 3 windows don't have any baring on this window. It has no baring on what the players think or feel.

    If I were to guess, obviously this means nothing and I have Sh!t for brains. The only thing that matters to the players is:

    1. Qualification for the Champions League
    2. Winning a Trophy - being League Cup Champions Olay Olay Olay
    3. Being part of a happy stable winning group
    4. Having a highly motivated & tactically genius level manager who's insane ambition matches their own
    5. Salary not money grabbing but in terms of being paid what they are worth - Value - like 3 ties into being valued and respected

    From what I know of high performing individuals in business and the retired ex-Pro's I've engaged with that is what i came to know about the character. More or less of course, not all are the same.

    I absolutely agree with your points, Raga.


    I do, though, think the players will look at the lack of first-team signings over the past 3 windows and, at the very least, it would give them pause for thought.
