Grab a can of spray paint and write "Waggott Out" on it. It'll be replaced within a day 👍

If we sell Samuel Joseph Szmodics for any less than £12m, then i'll lose any ounce of hope that I have left for the Club. £8m would be an absolute tragedy... we'll become even more of a laughing stock than we already are.

If he stayed he would have ended up playing quite a bit for us last season - and could have put himself in the shop window for lower/mid PL Clubs, who would actually play him. He'd have probably been offered a new contract with a nice pay rise too.

Despite all of the bollocks that goes on here, it's actually a fantastic place for young talent to make a name for themselves. Instead of loaning out our best kids, we play them in the country's second toughest division. Our owners won't spend money on players, so Academy players are guaranteed first-team minutes, even if they're not quite good enough. Aside that though, if I was at a Club that spent 8 years moulding me into a top prospect - i'd be very loyal and grateful, despite not supporting them. Would give them at least a couple of years.

Joins Rovers at 8 years old and becomes a highly-rated prospect thanks to our fantastic Academy... only to jump ship as soon as Newcastle come in with their oil money. If this is true, then get gone.

Did he not say who? Josh Murphy perhaps?

I know right?! The £349 early bird price is still about £100 too expensive, considering the 'product' they're offering.

Curiosity prevailed. This episode of their pod has been released, so I listened to the last bit about Rovers. What is the news? I hear you say... Nothing. They just spent a few minutes kissing the Venky's asses for dropping season tickets by £30.

Apparently a good few Premier League Clubs were after Aodhan Doherty back in December, including the likes of West Ham, Everton and Brighton. Not sure why nothing materialised, but he must be pretty decent to be attracting PL interest after only a handful of games in the Northern Irish first division. One for the future you'd assume, i'm sure he'll turn out to be well worth the reported £100k fee.

It’ll turn out to be something small and largely irrelevant, which will likely have no impact on improving the playing staff… which realistically, is all that we really want.

It's insane, we have a CEO who blatantly does not care about the Club in the slightest. He lies, strips the Club of it's assets, hires all of his useless buddies, gives himself huge pay rises, rinses loyal supporters... yet he's completely untouchable. We need him gone, but the only people able to make that happen are even worse, and somehow care even less than he does. It's insane the things that we fans have had to put up with... mad things that would simply never happen at other Clubs are the norm here. I genuinely believe we're cursed at times!

Would Sammie fancy a move to Turkey? Possibly not. Assume he’ll hang on for a decent PL Club to come in, which should happen soon enough.

So Nicko teases some ‘very positive’ news to us for days… What could it be? Warchest? Waggott being sacked? Good freebie all but signed? How exciting… Well it turns out, that we just want to loan a youngster from Palace, who we’ll probably miss out on. Or the ‘very positive’ news could be the fact that Man U are trying to pluck from our academy, yet the player might not want to go (but probably will). What a wanker that bloke is.

Should put ourselves in the mix for this lad - was thought to be a big prospect at one point if I remember correctly. Probably not short of offers, but no harm in trying.

Oh dear 🤣 Are these things you’ve heard?

Absolutely agree. I believe he still lives in Liverpool - Stockport and Wrexham are both nearby.

Good post. How much do you expect them to spend this window? Of course, nobody really knows, but as someone with better insight than most i'm curious as to what you think.

For us? Sure. For an ambitious Club? Nah.

That account has been suspended from Twitter... Could it be that the Club have reached out to get them suspended, due to their leaks? 👀

Agreed. If I could have a look 2 years into the future, I wouldn't be one bit surprised to see us struggling in League One.

Oh I think they'll sign one for sure... Might end up being some cheap useless tosser that nobody else wants, but I do think they'll get one.

It's Gregg! Waggott realised that he doesn't really know anyone else, he's trying to get our Gregg back on reduced terms.

We need 2 strikers... if this can be the cheap backup, then i'm all for it. Big lad, apparently a good finisher, only 24. However, I fully expect these muppets to only sign 1 striker, in which case we need to be shopping a couple of levels above this.

Eustace won't really give a shite as long as he's getting paid and gaining experience... the Club is an absolute mess. Feels inevitable that i'll be boycotting this season... - ST's are likely to be extortionate as usual. - Anyone worth anything will be sold, with none (or very very little) of the money being put back in. - There is absolutely no ambition, a mid-table finish would be considered a success to this lot. I really can't think of a reason to give up my hard earned money. I adore the Club but will not support the muppets running it. I desperately hope i'm proven wrong about all of the above of course, but I highly doubt it. We need Waggot, Suhail and the Owners gone.

There are actually some really good free agents coming (or already) available, some will require a decent wage which will probably rule us out... but there are plenty i'd take that'd make a huge difference to our squad without paying transfer fees. To name a few... Josh Bowler Sorba Thomas Max Lowe Wes Foderingham Herbie Kane Aaron Connolly Tyrese Campbell Paddy McNair Chris Willock Sam McCallum Jake Cooper Josh Onomah
