And yet all of his other transfers were nixed and he was put on gardening leave almost immediately afterwards...

He's completely unqualified for the role, of course things haven't improved since he joined.

Broughton had no say in the matter.

At the end of the day whether we got £16m or £160m it's irrelevant. None of it is going to be reinvested back into the playing squad and it's just being used to prolong these parasites being owners of our club.

'Wee Dougie' took advantage of a financially distressed club and was lauded in the Guardian of all papers for it. Football really has gone to the dogs.

Especially because Saints lost.

Tranmere's reserves at that.

So, so, so weak upfront. Just absolutely no depth.

Prior to him scoring 30 goals? Give over. He's earned a move and £8m is a fair price for both parties. Unfortunately it'll just go into perpetuating this Venkys nightmare rather than strengthening the squad.

The other thing that annoys me about football - it's a 'community', but fuck me do the sharks circle when they smell blood.

So we paid £2m and added a 25% sell on clause for Szmodics? I doubt it somehow.

Same club that's spunking £20m on Hull players? If we were a well run club I'd tell them to do one - alas £6m will be enough for our CEO.

Made them look shite?

They have a new manager in place - assume he signed that deal under Rosenior?

Unless they think he's shit?

I hope he scores a hat trick and shuts us all up in the final - but he has been disgracefully bad this tournament. An absolute passenger that has stifled out attack.

It's a stonewall pen.

Or his contacts in the game has fed back to him that Rovers aren't offering transfer fees at the moment.

All those nations have won something in recent memory.

I think they'd offer whatever odds you want to get your money off you. You're playing with 10 at this level when Vale is on the pitch.

Past tense? They already have.

Are transfers not an essential element to running a football club?

There are no worse owners than ours and I'll never be convinced otherwise.

That's the club self funding itself though by selling everything that isn't nailed down. As owners they wouldn't have put a dime in for over 18 months at that point. If there's a hard and fast ruling from India the EFL would have to take action.

It would have been better if the Walker Trust hadn't shat on Jack's legacy. We were a season (or two) away from the mega riches of the Premier League - the new tv deal came into place just after we were relegated. I've always wished ill on his children for what they did to us.
