You're missing the point again. Theres a time and a place for it under the correct circumstances.

And also didn't have this analytical recruitment set up at the club.

We were a Premier league club, not a struggling championship club.

Trucker jack!

Im actually a supporter of it. Rodgers and Laudrup had great success signing players they knew. But they weren't assistant managers and the signings not as expensive as Idah! Which is mad really.

Read up, its not me saying O Dea was solely responsible for signing him. Im saying its mad if he was.

Its the degree of that power thats the problem.

Hopefully we'll have learnt and wont give an assistant manager who'd soon be sacked the power to make expensive signings.

Absolutely, read my comment saying ill the be first to congratulate them if it does turn out to be a success.

Its not new, doesn't mean it was the correct thing to do. Why didn't the recruitment team identify him as a suitable signing?

Well if they didn't thats a major failing in the recruitment process at the club then is it not? Having invested heavily in scouts and analysts, reportedly on the verge of making worth a director, but our most expensive signing in years was instigated by the assistant manager?

Absolutely, whoever at the club sanctioned the signing deserves the criticism not the player (unless hes not trying - which has been levelled at him). If it turns out to be a successful signing I'll be the first to congratulate the recruitment team.

So our previous assistant manager had sole power to sign players that have reported to have cost multiple millions? The recruitment team had no input? What odd point?

You misunderstand the principle then.

The negatives of the Idah signing are completely clear. You're the one who spins his stats into a positive which suggests you are really the one with a vested interest. You brought up us losing a game to a 200million squad or something not me. I presumed you were referring to the game...

Don't conflate criticism of the actions of club staff with the club as a whole. Tony Petty in his time was technically acting on behalf of the club in his time as the owner. If someone criticised him, would that be criticising the club? No, of course not.

Its been known. Remember Silverstein on reddit?

I give credit when its due and provide accurate, honest criticism when its due, which you inexplicably do not. No one needs to look too hard for negatives from yesterday, they were plain to see (not that I actually have raised any). Seeing as you fail to understand my point your vested...

Very few of our fans would actually know Idah personally and I definitely steer away from the sectarian bullshit some of our fans like to indulge in. Vested interest in something like this is far more likely for someone trying vainly justify the signing because maybe their job would hinge on...

Mine and any even minded person's yes. Are you Adam Worth?
