Is Mitchell doing a good job?

Woodwardfan · Apr 23, 2018

Mitchell joined us in July 2016 but was probably actually working with our new manager a little before then.

This is a list of signings since that summer when Wilder joined together with estimated or reported transfer fees:

Duffy Free (f)
Hussey (Undislosed-u)
Wilson (defender) (f)
Wright (f)
Fleck (f)
O'Connell (u)
Clarke (u)
Moore (u/ 500k)
Lavery (u)
Reece-Brown (f)
Carruthers (u)
Lafferty (u)
Hanson (u)
Baldock (650k)
C.Evans (500k)
Stevens (700k)
Vickers loan
Thomas (290k)
Stearman (961k)
Lundstram (500k)
Donaldson (50k)
Heneghan (300k)
L.Evans (700k)
Holmes ( u)
Leonard (700k)
Blackman loan
Wilson loan.

I reckon Duffy and Clarke were Knill's ex-players. Holnes- ex- Wilder.

How is Mitchell doing to date in your opinion?

Crucial appointment is Head Scout.

I always say a manager is as good as hos No.2 and equally his Head Scout.

Outstanding. Our recruitment has the highest percentage of hits in the last 30 years and we’re finally signing some players with upside, resale value and appetite.

georgebernardshaw · Apr 23, 2018

I’m answering your question with another - which of our management team do you think is doing a bad job?

Sean Thornton · Apr 23, 2018

Ched Evans half a million? Because Ashley Carson said so?

Ricky · Apr 23, 2018

Stevens was free, not 700k.

BigBed · Apr 23, 2018

Over the odds for Stearman in my opinion from what I've seen this season, but not to shabby other than, Fleck and Duffy obviously the stand outs in there.

McGrath · Apr 23, 2018

He's doing a great job.

ShockingBadBuy · Apr 23, 2018

Stearman widely reported across other threads (some of them recent, some with sources cited) as having cost a little more than a third of the figure given in the OP.

Sean Thornton said:

Yep. Again, widely reported as much lower than this elsewhere on this board.

ps: apologies for taking issue with this particular Original Poster I know this is frowned upon as evidence of arbitrary aggressive behaviour.

He’s a good lad is Mitchell.

None whatsoever. And you ?

The same, but when you see a thread entitled “Is Mitchell doing a job?”, you do wonder...

Addison · Apr 23, 2018

Duffy, Fleck, Oconnell and Clarke outstanding signings in terms of value and resale. Wilson, the Man United one, at a rumoured £15k a week has to be the worst loan signing, Blackman the best.

Very good so far remember we had Simon Clough aka Mr Scotland and the invisible Lee Turnbull previously so not hard acts to follow.

Biggest challenge for him now is to find out what budget he'll have to work to next season.

Bladesthorpe · Apr 23, 2018

Stearman £ 961,000, How did you arrive at that odd figure Woody ?

Simple question, impartial. Debate is king.

So when you say that none of the management team is doing a bad job, why ask the forum whether Mitchell is doing a job?

Roygbiv · Apr 23, 2018

Wasn't Baldock a free along with Stevens?

Rodley · Apr 23, 2018

Do you job as in jobby?

That's the o.p. Simple as that. What's up George?

If I overheard senior managers asking “is georgebernardshaw doing a job?”, I’d be concerned about my future employment. It’s a very negative form of assessment.

Woodwardfan · Apr 23, 2018

Anyway, back to the o.p.

Opinions?

Try not to worry about the odd £500k transfer fee.

Are our signings matching our expenditure?

Are our signings matching our manager's ambitions?

George. Let the thread develop. Bad start.

This is a key area to our success.

Quoted on Wiki and Soccer- something. Probably within a few grand or so..

I’ve had Sales Managers who carried on like that - fortunately, they all got fired before they did too much damage.

You continue your thread, one hopes it develops better than its ridiculous title.

I don't believe any fee until I've read it on Transfermarkt. The pinnacle of all football financial knowledge.

Just £600,000 or so out

How can signings match expenditure when the expenditure figures aren't correct?

Wrong signings?
