Born in Newham and grew up with people I believe are the ‘salt of the earth’. The @WestHam fans are hurting at the moment. I still believe that the battle has to be won on & off the pitch. The Hammers need a few people who will win the recruitment ‘battle behind the scenes’
There’s no reason why some clubs are out performing @WestHam Clubs need passionate people on shop floor who will fight for good of the club. Recruitment is a war for best players.The truth is: Dave Sullivan wants best for WHU but he has to rely on advice from those he listens to
I’ve known @Lord_Sugar for close on 30 years and when he owned Spurs we had murders. But I’ll say this, he was straight, spent money and hired the best he could. He has also been loyal to many people. Finally, he left Spurs in decent shape.
@Caz8maw@NUFC@LFC There’s nothing that can be done legally and clubs will always deal with an agent that has a player they want. Newcastle are a classy club and didn’t waste energy having a go at the player or agent. #howaythelads
So the saga ended with everybody getting something. @NUFC got £125M plus add ons. Isak got his move and @LFC got their player. Is that the end of the saga? How are both sets of fans feeling?
@OneFootball At 29, Wissa must be delighted to get such a big move but this deal is costing @NUFC at least £85M. £55M in transfer fee and £30M in wages with little or no sell-on value.
@ToonMouthTyne@SkySportsNews@Fanalysis Here’s a question, would Isak have still got his move if he had conducted himself correctly and agreed something with the club behind the scenes? And carried in training!
@ToonMouthTyne@SkySportsNews@Fanalysis Both players and clubs should honour their contracts. The key thing here is how either party behave once they want a divorce. Unfortunately, players & clubs sometimes take drastic action to end contracts & that’s not good for football. Fans should be clear on what they want.
Young players have to win their battles and those around them must support them to do so. Most players have periods where they’re not in the team, all teams have squads of 25 or more. Winning battles builds character and builds confidence.
@JEBaker83@Regista10_ Let’s hear about my past indiscretions and why telling players to honour their contracts is delusion. Looking forward to your reply
@JEBaker83@Regista10_@JEBaker83 Hi James, a football fan sent me the messages you put on X after my Sky Sports appearance. Let’s get into it. Explain your evidence to everybody on what you said. Are you upset because I tell clients to honour their contracts? Let’s hear your truth

People always focus on the players and pundits when the football is on but let's not forget what a great job @KellyCates and @DavidJonesSky do. They are both brilliant. #football#skysports
