Continually spending on multiple players while not making sales to alleviate the FFP concerns isn’t a strategy that’s fit for purpose in the modern day. Don’t read so much into it. Friction is good, that’s how progress is made when we’re forced to compromise on a strategy that will further the goal

Eddie has 2+ years of walking the walk and delivering for the club and the fans, without even coming close to publicly saying anything stupid. Mitchell has 2+ months of talking the talk but has delivered nothing and created this drama by saying stupid sh-t. I’m sure there are changes needed to NUFC’s recruitment team but even Dan Ashworth, dishonorable as he is, didn’t talk smack about everyone at the club to nobody’s benefit. Mitchell needs to keep his mouth shut now and walk the walk before Eddie walks and we lose everything we have gained over the past few years!

Howe got lucky with results in the past but this year he has been dull, unable to make changes in matches and struggled in every match. Everyone has figured him and his tactics out and yet he makes no changes, he survives only based on the talent of the players. Mitchell has a history of talent acquisition and success at multiple stops (unlike Howe). He's paid to come in and solidify everything behind the scenes and make us a success long term. He is meant to come in and change things so we don't have to sell quality young players each year for PSR needs

Multiple issues here; 1. Paul Mitchell for me appears (from interviews I’ve seen from him, not just reports) not very articulate or elegant with his words. His ‘not fit for purpose’ comments I assume were not on quality/ability of signings and more on data available but by being inexact he’s left it open to interpretation. This doesn’t mean he isn’t a top class SD. 2. Darren Eales ultimately should be the one responsible for unifying his team. He should have had a sit down NUFC conversation with both Eddie & Paul to showcase unity. It’s poor leadership from Eales that he seemingly is not ensuring all is smooth between his leaders pre press conference today. The fact they’ve not spoken is on Eales. 3. Eddie is not Mitchell’s man. Paul Mitchell seems to be abrasive and my way or the highway, he wants to stamp his authority and so Eddie will either be deferential or end up leaving or Mitchell will (like Spurs) unless Eales grips the situation. If either of these things happen it’s on Eales and his role should be questioned.

@@michaelmckie9164 great observations- Very few fans seem to want to mention Howes press conference in Germany, two days into Mitchell arriving- where Howe was already on the defensive and 'surprised' he wasn't consulted on the appointment. My guess is both Eales and PIF felt Howe was given too much control by Staveley and they didn't like certain results ie fitness of players and recruitment. It's poor leadership by Eales, but Howe is still throwing out red meat to the journalists at Friday's press conference. Howe will lie or say nothing when he wants to. So I have to assume he is trying to undermine Mitchell or cover his back. One thing is certain- he's under a lot more scrutiny and pressure since the changes.

Eddie is losing power but he would never have the power he has had at any top club, my hope is he appreciates that also.

He wasn't criticising the previous signings he was referring to the recruitment process and the scouting system, we need to be more like teams like Brighton who find unknown talent and don't have to pay megabucks to sign them so that when they move on you make a worthwhile profit. That's how Brighton had over 100 mill from Caicedo and MacAlister. We need to be looking further afield than English players like Guehi who come at an inflated price. Nothing Mitchell said was wrong we have to be more clever

With all due respect i normally take what Craig has to say with a pinch of salt but one thing i have realised over the years is that where he rarely misses the target is when its clear the playing group or staff want to get a message out. This is one of them instances. Mitchell is barking up the wrong tree if he think he can insult eddie howe, amanda or geordies in general. He could be the sporting director that discovered messi (which he clearly isnt) but u wont last 5 minutes if u try a power play with one of our own. And eddie howe is one of our own.

Everything you say is absolutely correct. Alarm bells started ringing for me as soon as I saw Paul Mitchell’s first interview with NUFC tv over the summer. He uses a concerning amount of management jargon; in my experience a clear tell that someone doesn’t really know what they’re doing. Based on that very brief video I sensed he was a little prickly and insecure, and let’s be honest: everything since has vindicated that judgment. The interview last week was disastrous. Not only the contents of his message, but the fact he appeared to have absolutely no control over that message, no sense of how divisive his words would be when written up. And to distance himself publicly from the transfer debacle… terrible thing to say publicly even if true (which, anpprently, it isn’t!). The contrast with Eddie, who talks with such precision, couldn’t be more stark. I am worried! The one point in his favour is that whatever was happening before, even if ‘not fit for purpose’ is an exaggeration, must havr been a little bit dysfunctional or ashworth wouldn’t have left. Still, Mitchell shouldn’t be broadcasting that to media merely to salvage his own ego…

But the players we were linked with: Guehi, Trafford, Elanga they're all from the premier league. Apart from Guehi I'm not convinced the other two will raise Newcastle's ceiling. We need to look at players on the continent who can improve us more rather than looking at premier league sides.

I dont think thats the point that Mitchell is making. The signings have been great - but we over spent on the FFP rules by doing so and had no selling strategy whatsoever - cant get any money for anyone, no planning and had to offload Minteh and Anderson in the final 24 hours just to avoid a points deduction. We have sold no-one else in the last 3 years of any value or consequence except ASM for a knock down price to a Saudi club. That's a very poor strategy. Going forwards he is saying we need a strategy that is fit for purpose - ie we can compete for champions league but manage within FFP. No evidence that we have been able to reconcile that easily under Ashworth and PIF.

I think you have it spot on. Eddie as usual was very calm but very concise and measure in his rebuttal of Mitchell’s claim that under the former system of bringing in new players/scouting, “it was not fit for purpose.” I cannot see Eales being able to bring about any sort of reconciliation between the two. What worries me is I believe for Mitchell to say what he said during his interview, shows him to be incredibly arrogant or he was cleared to speak that way by Yasser. Personally I am inclined to believe the latter especially after sitting alongside and meeting with Yasser the day before. It will be a real shame if Eddie chooses to leave the club rather than be involved in a political battle with Mitchell. Eddie is the best thing that has happened to the club in a long time. I think Eddie rates in the very top echelons of British born managers and indeed foreign born managers in Premier League today.

I thought your questions at the press conference were excellent. I’ve been a sports and business coach for 30 years and one of my key messages has always been that a Winner takes responsibility for what happens and a loser always seeks to blame others. When Mitchell tried to deflect the window blame away he sank in my estimation. And not contacting Eddie since the interview is simply appalling. He is supposed to be ‘elite’, that is not an elite show of leadership in my book

how's he stirring if he is reporting what was said in the presser, and what the club looks like from the outside. just check other press and YT videos. I agree its not great but he is a journo as well. I think DE and PM need to get a grip otherwise the axe will fall heavy in their direction, the owners don't suffer fools or people messing about with their investment, otherwise they wouldn't be where they are now. Just hope it doesn't affect us on the pitch. I love EH and JT for what they have done and hope they get the full backing.

No…I think they’re all collectively moving forward and I get a strong sense from Eddie that he really just wants to talk about the football ahead which is the right thing to do

With years of background watching as a ST holder at AFCB and of EH handling of the transfers then with players, media and internal staff, you shouldn’t doubt his strong will on what is correct. It’s never personal , it’s about how the team progress. If he feels it’s not working he will go.. The aftermath will be hard to recover from as players know Eddie , he’s the man they see daily. Mitchell’s approach so far seems off the mark. Best of luck NUFC. UTCIAD🍒🍒

Very balanced piece, Craig : as you say the people shooting the messenger have the wrong target. Mitchell didn’t seem to realise that when you are attacking strategy and results in the last three years, you are directly attacking PIF, who have had majority Board representation throughout and every major decision has had to be authorised in Riyadh. I’m also not sure what Mitchell has done to be so arrogant. He’s had 5 clubs in 18 years and the only thing in his trophy cabinet is a Division Two winner’s medal with MKDons who were relegated the next season ! We even did better than that under Ashley !

If we find ourselves in a situation where Eales has forced Amanda & Mehrdad out, and Mitchell has forced Eddie out, then the whole feeling towards the club is going to get toxic again like the Ashley days. The only saving grace this time would be that we’re talking about two blokes who can be sacked. It’s not Ashley who we can’t get rid of because he’s the owner. PIF can sack them and we may need PIF to step up and take action like that!

I’m sure if the new one has been a bit of a knob he will have been told by Eales/Eddie about his shortcomings. As you say hopefully journos can draw a line under the matter and move forward and talk about players and superb on field performances, something lacking so far.
