11 years at Woolwich in a variety of roles as he rose through ranks, followed by 8 months at Brighton as Sporting Director
Between Jackson and Kean they are believe it or not our best striking options.
People are now facing up to the reality of the striker market being absolutely on it's knees
If only we could find a decent young striker from the championship looking for his next chance to be Harry Kane.
Even better if we already had him on the books
As an aside, there's no way Solanke/Richarlison are worse than Jackson/Kean
LOLKing Kong
Gotta watch King Kong again. Absolute classic.

Nah Richy is dead, guy can't even run anymore.
Never harmed Berba
What we go to them for is up for debate though...GOAT
The Extra Mile(sey) are our go-to guys

isn't it?No reason given, and it would be odd if they sacked him at the start of a window (although they also have a Technical Director who will oversee transfers this window) so doesn't look like a sacking.
Could be a headhunt with club he's going to paying compensation - and hence no gardening leave. That seems to fit the few facts we have best
Jacksons a great player, great at link up and with his back to goal. His biggest problem is that he misses chances but tbh even the fact he's getting those chances is proof of how good a striker he is. Still only 25 this Summer. His biggest weaknesses are coachable. He'd be a great signing imo.Between Jackson and Kean they are believe it or not our best striking options.

This is why the stat fapping is a waste of everyone's time.
You could put sissoko in that Bayern team with Kane and he'd look like prime Xavi on those shape graphs
He actually had some skill though.
There are probably no Spurs ITK's left - last one probably JJSet who last operated about 10 years ago or maybe 'The Lion' for about one window forecasting Ndombele and co in 2019.
But everyone on Twitter calls themselves ITK ever since
Are we saying the guy who scored from near the half way line against Woolwich and a scissor kick against west ham is now not skillful?
Temperament needs working on as well.

Yes
I dunno but I saw this on a Brighton website;
When Jason Ayto was appointed Brighton sporting director, it was reported one of his first tasks and overriding priorities would be to work on a new contract for Jan Paul van Hecke.
So far, not so good. Same story with Kaoru Mitoma. Both Van Hecke and Mitoma are about to enter the final 12 months of their existing deals.
The pair are therefore available for a potential cut-price fee this summer. If Brighton do not sell, they risk both leaving for free in 2027.
Adam Webster and Solly March are already leaving with their deals expiring. Joel Veltman is out of contract with no word on any progress towards keeping him. James Milner has retired.
The only players to have penned new deals since Ayto arrived at Brighton are Jack Hinshelwood and Jason Steele.
Brighton sporting director Jason Ayto leaves after only nine months
Jason Ayto has left his role as Brighton sporting director just nine months after replacing David Weir in the role amid much fanfare
