At Wolves and Bournmouth he had to operate under tight financial restrictions and at times had to sell his best players. I think I am right in saying that this is the first time he has been given a lot of financial freedom to assemble a squad of players of his choice. It's going to be interesting to see how we do next season.
I like the business we are doing and also wonder whether Keiron would have gone down this same route?

I'm not sure how much control gon has, I'd imagine some input at least. But I expect it would have been similar |  | | |

He must have the final say?
Recruitment team will find the players based on data/scouting reports and then pass him a list…”Here you go Gaz, feast your eyes on this little lot” |  | | |

No one is being signed without his approval. |  | | |

Surely he must also tell the recruitment team about any players he fancies. Emerson for example could well have been someone he had his eyes on over in France. | | | |

Yes, I imagine he asks for a certain profile of player and also probably recommends various players to the recruitment team to look over. They come back with a list of players who meet the criteria and I imagine he has the final say over who is signed or not. | | | |

I wonder how many of these signings are his, or identified more from a scouting perspective from the recruitment team within ITFC.
with the way sacking of managers happens these days, it seems a little unrealistic to think an owner would allow a manager to spend £100-130m
I would imagine McKenna gave the thumbs up on players, but then I'm reminded we signed Ben Godfrey, so I'm hoping he missed the email about that one | | | |

I reckon his 6 months abroad means that he saw first hand a bunch of players that Kieran would not have seen.
But that aside I reckon Ashton and the recruitment team knew (and i think have said) that we need a different profile this time. We were simply overpowered by athletic juggernauts last time - we couldn't let that happen again. Ashton might be many things (and I for one haven't forgotten his lack of apology for lying to us all) but he's not thick and will have supported GON's desire to have a bigger, stronger strong. |  |
