Shadydan Hi Shandy, I thought you may be struggling to find this as you were very keen to talk about football with me then disappeared when I asked you to respond to the above. Let me know how you get on.

Ok the obssession is a bit embarasing, probably just stop tagging me in random threads desperately trying to bait me purely for some oneupmanship fetish you have, shall we try that?
In regards to your post, all this shit has already been answered countless times in this thread, you need to add more nuance to this argument as to whether Hitchin uneathered gems or not. We know he didn't for the most part that's not up for debate, what is up for debate is the reason why we didn't manage to secure players and get them over the line when we already had deals in place which isn't purely down to Hitchin. Not everything is down to him as he worked in a period of austerity where the club didn't spend money because of the stadium, the managers picking poor targets (Ndombele, Lo Celso, Gedson etc...) and Levy just bein a pain in the arse - funny how no-one's gonna pick up on the fact that I have openly criticised Levy in this thread countless times but yeah whatever ENICbot blah blah...
I think where he can be blamed is probably being to pally pally and not trusting his own work and not putting his foot down and some players like the Nkoudou and Njie's who were utter gash lets be honest. As a DOF everything will fall on your head naturally if you are head of recruitment but if your CEO is constantly interfering in your job or the club are cutting back on costs then it makes your job extremely difficult.
You have to ask yourself why every report you read he has gowing references in the game from the managers he's worked including Conte with and the club really liked him yet some fans who watched a documentary in which what he said about the January transfer window which got taken massively out of context seemingly have made their minds up about him and think that he can't do his job properly.
