More likely he's had a very dumbed down summary read to him by shadow man as he tucks him into bed at night.

You seem to be a person in the know. What’s the situation with the funding? Will we be able to spend money this summer even if nobody is sold?

I can see why you didn't give a name - imagine the grief you would've got!

Apparently he has replaced half of GB, and Adam Owen will soon replace the other half

The headline of this story is mental (I just googled Waggott to check his age/time to retirement based on the previous post)

I see that he's 70 this month, so he won't be far off either way.

What was slightly interesting is that he's an active director of another company, run by Waggott and his wife.
Had a quick scoot around, but couldn't find anything about the services or what the company actually does:

So the Maggot took the train from Newcastle to London for his first job with Barclays and yet he says he got off the train at Charing Cross. 
On that basis he is a lying barsteward or he has total memory loss. In either case I wouldn’t have given him a job. 
The train from Newcastle to London arrives at Kings Cross you numpty.

He had a very good PR team at that time didn't he?

Gregg resurfaces!

https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/chicago-fire-name-gregg-broughton-as-sporting-director

Sporting Director of Chicago Fire FC.

Presumably working under 'Technical Director' Sebastian Pelzer, formerly of this parish. 

Hope he's packed his thermals ahead of a winter on the shores of Lake Michigan! That said, my personal favourite of all the US Cities I've visited.

Another wrinkle being Chicago's manager, the former US Mens National Team, fellow double G  Gregg Berhalter, the hugely unpopular coach was sacked in June.

Loves a challenge does our Gregg!

Quite mad, given that his (*)  2 major failures, are both linked to the MLS (O'Brien moving to the MLS after the failure to sign him, & failing to buy McGuire from an MLS club), that he gets a job at an MLS club

I would have thought his career opportunities in the USA would have been blocked off on that basis

* If not his failures directly, they are very heavily associated with his tenure

Beggars belief doesn't it that if you're good enough at bullshitting you can get a job almost anywhere irrespective of ability.

He's not "Our Gregg" any longer. Thank fuck!

I think it's pretty obvious to anyone with even a faint interest that both those incidents were not his fault.

Everybody blaming him for the shit recruitment over the last two years and look how great it's been since.

What happened to Mcguire was an absolute disgrace from the player's standpoint and should never happen to anyone, but, viewed objectively, we were probably being asked to pay way over the odds in terms of fee and wages for a relatively limited player.

Gueye is getting a lot of stick recently after a reasonably promising start but I'd still say this summer's recruitment was a lot better than the summer before.
