Goodness me, I wasnt 'mocking fans for daring to question Howe'. I was making a point about how the number of NUFC players in the England squad proved he was a good coach. Many of those fans who have given him the worst abuse are those most offended by a light hearted tweet

Well the recruitment dept has been reshaped by Ross Wilson so you'd hope things are better. But the summer was an utter nightmare that has proved to be worse than we feared. £105m spent on Wissa and Elanga is quite incredible

Yeah, it's not a bad thing. Just reality of squad building under scr / PSR- not really possible to add another striker unless you've a plan to sell one

As I say in the piece: player trading is now key. So its not simply a case of signing 8 unless there's escape route for some of the players they'd replace

Hey! This is Bluesky, you're meant to be nice 😂

This piece is communicating the logic and thought process of what happened in the summer. IMO they should have held off buying at least one striker in the summer and saved money
