I`m wondering why a bunch of our players and staff are following him. It can only be so they can rock up at the HPC and say `Have you seen what the knob posted last night?` and roll around laughing.

Prudent retirement planning - half of them will end up there when they’re 37.

We’ve not done a reciprocal and printed Bristol Rovers on the sleeve I hope?

I didn't like the sound of that.

 I mean the stuff about Parachute Payments isn't necessarily wrong, but to talk of not even reinvesting a chunk, although maybe the full interview will give more context and sounds a bit like the trading model unless I'm mistaken??

Don't think NP will like the sound of this either- which is much more important.

I’d say look at what he does, not what he says. We’ve spent a fair bit of the Semenyo money already (Mehmeti, McCrorie etc), and history says that we’ll often reinvest what we recoup. It also says we don’t do that very wisely, but the intent has been there.

Clubs know we have a big chunk of money coming in, any bravado statements in the media about how we’ll spend it won’t help any negotiating positions.

FWIW, I think we’re closer now than we’ve been since the LJ cup run era, and I’d be surprised (and disappointed) if we didn’t use a decent chunk of the Scott money to give it a go again. A couple of quality signings might be all the difference between 12th and play offs.

‘We would like to apologise to both our supporters’ - the two of them are going to be gutted about this.
