Tbf, Ger consistently states he is only forwarding news from other websites, he never says he is speculating nor does he say he is a writer of stories. His favourite saying is “take this with a healthy pinch of salt”. He regularly says which news outlets he trusts, and the many he doesn’t.
Therefore your comment is a bit unfair.

Trafford is the one I really want, he’s proper quality mate.

He will make a massive difference to us.

Hopefully the YEP will appoint someone who really knows football. Joe Donohue seemed more knowledgeable so maybe he will get promoted.

I am, he loves the limelight and this takes him out of it. Also can he still wear his gloves?

50M profit on Cry in 2 seasons is that?

He's still young enough to hoover up generational wealth and come back to Europe in his prime.
