Signed for Exeter from Halifax in January. Looks like a left winger according to transfermarkt

No he said we were struggling to get deals done with him and Krul. There are unconfirmed reports that we offered them both minimum wage on a 16 hour contract and told them to be grateful cos that’s what the women get.

He let the ball run under his foot. It’s ridiculous not to acknowledge that.

Bait? I’m not sure why my opinion is bait? He also doesn’t get picked at CB as a matter of course for city and gets shunted into DM. His poor positioning and letting the ball dribble under his foot was also why Switzerland scored against us.

Totally disagree. Quite a few of the players in the first XI now would have been squad players at best 20/25 years ago. The likes of Ferdinand Terry Cole Beckham Scholes Gerrard Lampard Owen Rooney etc etc would have walked into the current team. The hype is ridiculous for a team containing the likes of Pickford, Trippier, Stones, Gallagher.

Which is what we were on about

I thought it was obvious. That performance levels in club football don’t necessarily translate to International football. Many hyped ‘superstars’ at club level have failed to make the transition.

I’m sure someone can dig it out, but was £3m not mentioned as being set aside for the stadium maintenance? I’m sure it came from Waggott either in the LT or via WATR.

Like what?

International football is not club football.

No, Gareth has a far better record than ALL his predecessors bar Sir Alf since 1930. It’s also irrelevant what the format has changed from/to because the same rules apply to every other nation.

And it’s full of non-English players. With respect, you’ve swallowed the Prem hype. Apart from that appalling spell were the likes of Geoff Thomas and Keith Curle were being picked, we’ve always had some quality players. Until now that has never translated into a consistently effective National team. And I’d say the defence we have now is poor in relation to some of the players we’ve been able to call on in the past. Stones and Trippier are average, as is Pickford. Guehi being are best defender speaks volumes. Id argue the CM is hardly vintage either and we’ve got a bloke up front who can’t run. This squad is hyped because Bellingham plays for RM and because Saka and Foden play well their clubs most weeks. International football is completely different.

It must have been decided cos Eustace said at the weekend that the recruitment team know what they’re working with (about a tenner presumably)

You think the players available now are better than 20 years ago?

England major tournament history: In the 88 years pre-Gareth: 4 semis, 1 Final. Gareth: 3 semis, 1 final (maybe 2) Southgate out!!!🤣

We have a lot to look forward to under the new manager. What could possibly go wrong for a nation that has won 1 trophy in 100 years?

The problem is we no longer have a supporters group willing to make him accountable or ask difficult questions.

Steve has proven he gives a fuck by his actions last season. I’d imagine Suhail gives less of a fuck.

Excellent. Looking forward to lots more semis of major tournaments under the new manager.

I thought it had been reported at the end of the season that a chunk of money had been earmarked for stadium maintenance?

Yeah, we all know this. The point is he is paid to be accountable. By not making him accountable he gets an easy ride. And he’s had a very easy ride here.

He’s CEO. He gets paid to front up. Jackson has said he’s asked for interview so lets hope Waggott is made to front up. Preferably by radio lancs and not some cosy in-house bullshit.

I think the worry is that the recruitment team are identifying targets and the money men are saying no. This is the situation JDT got pissed off with. I’d imagine if Eustace doesn’t get the wingers and GK he wants then he will be equally pissed off.

You’re taking the phrase too literally. You can’t manufacture luck, but you can put yourself in a position to take advantage of opportunities that arise. Hence, you make your own luck. When I go to the pub later and get hit on by some beautiful young women it’s because I went to the pub instead of sitting in my house in my soiled undies. 😉 Anyway, there have been scientific studies that prove you can make your own luck.

The majority of his signings were poor, the successes were few and far between.
