Confirmed

Looks like there is still a full block at the other end now put on sale. That end actually holds about 5900 so there's no chance it's being full but knowing our lot they won't take anymore if they have to pay for the lot regardless of if they all sell.

Nostalgia is cruel

Yeah, well bad.

Didn't win POTY at his only club, that's bad isn't it? For 'one of the best midfielders ever'

How many votes did he get?

I think JDT needs to be careful where he goes next, 2nd season at rovers was poor and Sweden tenure an utter disaster. He needs his next appointment to be perfect or his career will sadly start to diminish. He's neither a promotion specialist (Warnock type) or a relegation avoider (Allardyce type) I'd avoid the English game altogether for now and re coup with less pressure and re build confidence if I was him.

Good god. Are these the metrics now, I know you’re taking the piss, but still. OK, I’ll take you on. He was in teams of the decade, halls of fame and all the rest of it, so we can all cherry pick individual baubles for our argument. But as he didn’t win POTY in an era full of top footballers, he’s no Adam Wharton. Aye, good one.

He was nominated 5 times for Ballon D'or

Knew about Anderson years ago. Very highly rated by Howe and Newcastle was forced to sell him to met FFP ruled Scholes was a world class player.. Wharton isn't anyway near his level. Maybe one day

We’ve pretty much ‘sold out’, just a couple of single seats left. We haven’t really as they haven’t put the end blocks on sale, presumably they will be doing later today?

Sounds like JDT wasn't happy with the "project" on offer and the potential financial support available before he even started this time. Devil's advocate mode on: Is he the Championship equivalent of "a cheque book manager?" O Neill needs to be careful as well. As various managers including Allardyce have noted, once you're out of work, it doesnt take long before the phone stops ringing. Edit: And O Neill doesn't have anything like the track record of an Allardyce to justify being so picky.

Surely if he was an elite footballer at that level for so long he'd have won one POTY or been nominated for Ballon D'or?

A heads up on this one for those still thinking of going it's unlikely there'll be pay on the day with Knobbers having virtually sold out. Even though there's probably still plenty left for the away end.

No, he was an elite footballer and did it at the very highest level for fifteen years.. Adam isn’t close at this stage.

by March he will be gone and they will be at panic stations. If they go down it'll be an absolute fire sale - good players just been totally mismanaged the past season or so. if we survive we should definitely be sniffing should Norwich have a howler of a season

Nostalgia playing a huge part there

Was being deadly serious

20 years at Man United & not one POTY award, the only player to get better after retiring

Each to his own, Id never even heard of him until Tuchel drafted him in recently. Imo he's a solid enough player but not a Lampard, Gerrard, Scholes, Bellingham, Foden, Palmer or even a Wharton. At this stage I do have the utmost confidence in Tuchel though. If he decides he wants to play Anderson instead of Wharton or Wharton ahead of Anderson then either is fine by me.

Scholes was already a regular for a double winning side the season he turned 21. Highly debatable to say Adam is ‘better’/further on in his development.

Eh? Anderson had been highly rated for years. Its what best for the England team not about Rovers

Holy Cow. Gut reaction says that will be an absolute disaster. Edit: Can't imagine the news will be well received by the Norwich fanbase.

If Wharton was still a Rovers player you would 100% be going mad the other way round trying to convince everyone that Wharton was better than Anderson!
