Last season will have no bearing on this season. There’s no guarantee Sammie would score anywhere near 30 goals even if he stayed. I expect this season to be a grind with Eustace having a completely different approach to JDT. He showed last season that he could set up a defence. If we sign the 4 or 5 quality players JE wants I’m hopeful of a half-decent season.

Nixon has laughed off the £6m Sammie fee FWIW

Charlie Olson has signed a new 2 year deal with a year option.

£6m? Good grief. They’ll be melting down Jacks statue to pay the leccy soon.

Thank you. I like to educate and entertain in equal measure.

Sven did less with more.

Klopp would be a downgrade from Sir Gareth. We couldn’t make a wurst appointment.

A German in charge of the national team, what could possibly go wrong?

Another great shirt. This season may be stinky, but we’ll all look pretty in the pinky.

Could the same be done for a protest group? I appreciate that isn’t really WATR raison d’etre.

‘82 is an iconic shirt.

I know what his job is, and part of his job is to improve communication with fans (his words). So, what would you like communicating? It’s a straightforward question.

He’s been brought in to improve communication with the fans. What do you think he should communicate?

Waggott has given 1 on the record interview in 2 years. That’s because that’s all he has wanted to give. Take the tin foil hat off, not everything is a conspiracy.

Which just goes to prove what an exceptional job Gareth has done in comparison to his predecessors.

Sorry?

Unfair. He said in the podcast that Waggott had only ever given 1 interview in the last 2 years and that was to the BBC. The criticism of that was implicit. It also doesn’t mean Jackson hasn’t asked for an interview.

To clarify what Jackson has now said on his latest podcast: From talking to players, agents etc, and based on Waggott saying there was no block on funding, Jackson believes Venky’s can send money but aren’t willing to because of the bond situation. He also said this may change depending n the outcome of the court case. It seems a very reasonable assumption to me based on what Jackson is saying, and all the more reason why protests against Venky’s should be ramped up.

So Jackson has completely changed his tune? Have you got a link to the podcast?

Still lots of unanswered questions: Is Rover Insider right that Pasha has told the owners we don’t need any transfer funds? Does August 20th change anything or is it even relevant to funding? Will Venkys find some transfers after that if the court case goes in their favour and they no longer have to post an equivalent bond?

He’s passed every test this Euros. The final is just the next one.

Haha, same ploy from you after every game. play down the most recent victory and then say the next game is the real test.

Felix Goddard has gone out on loan to Dundalk.

Southgate has been a revelation as England manager. His record speaks for itself.

Another final for Gareth. Superb management tonight!
