Newcastle United can now put their dreadful summer transfer window behind them and focus on the action on the pitch.
Eddie Howe‘s side💯 were able to do exactly that in their first game after the transfer deadline with an impressive ൲victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
But the struggles over the summer cannot be ignored with sporting director Paul Mitchell thrown into the spotlight in hi🍒s first summer at the club.
The former Tottenham Hotspur chief🐬 struggled to get any noteworthy deals over tꦺhe line on Tyneside over the summer with interest in Marc Guehi falling short.
Since the sporting director’s appointment, Mitchell has slammed the Newcastle‘s transfer policy which has sparked frustration amoꦑng some.
And after just a matter of months in the role, Mitchell is already facing speculation surro♋unding his future at the 🧸club.
What Paul Mitchell has said about his Newcastle future

And this saw Newcastle fans left frustratꦗed with a severe lack of business done ಌover the summer transfer window.
But it was not just the fans who were left frustrated 🌌with Howe casting a visibly🦋 annoyed figure as well as Mitchell himself.
According to ,🤡 Mitchell has now clarified that he💯 will not be stepping down from his role despite the difficult summer.
The article does clarify th🐷at The Athletic have not asked Mitchell directly but those inside the club who have spoken to the sporting director have prov༺ided his repsonse.
Mitchell is said to be keen to see out his ‘long-term contract’ at the club𓄧 as he aims to build his own ways on Tyneside.
Dan Ashworth left frustrated by Paul Mitchell’s comments
There🔥 can certainly be an argument made that Newcastle actually went backwards over the summer with Howe’s squad getting weaker over the window.
With the need to sell in June to balance the spreadsheets, E🅷lliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh were offloaded.
“I think it’s di꧒fficult coming into a predefined strategy,” Mitchell said about failing to bring in any big names.
“Should our scouting and rec😼ruitment be driven more extensively with a wider r💧eaching net?”
According to , Mitchell’s comm🦩ents have left a numbe🔯r of people ‘hurt’ with Ashworth being one of them.
