A year after ‘In my blood – How it all started’ and now time for an update 12 months on | OneFootball

In August last year, The Mag kindly published my first ever article on here – ‘In my blood – How it all started.’

So, with it having been just over a year that has gone by, I thought I would have another try.

Firstly, can I go back to 16th March.

We at last landed some  more silverware. For me at 77 years of age, it has been a long time coming.

I worked with a couple of young lads, well, in their late forties, they sent me a photo just after the final whistle and they were crying, obviously with joy.

I am not ashamed to say that I did too when looking at it.

Transfer window

All the talk has been about Alexander Isak.

Well, I  think we have added some quality players to our squad, maybe a couple more before it closes. We have doubled up on most positions so it has been a canny transfer window.

In my humble opinion, this man is the best coach our great club has ever had.

He landed our first bit of silverware for decades.

I was watching the Transfer show on Thursday and a lad called Daniels (who had played under Eddie Howe at Bournemouth) was on talking about the Newcastle United boss.

He said Eddie creates a family club. That his attention to detail is unmatched. His man-management is first class and has a superb tactical brain (ref. Wembley 16th March).

Long may England keep Tuchel.

Transfer saga

I won’t go into detail cos we all have our view on it.

I used to work with a scots lad who was a Celtic supporter, he said if any player does not want to wear the shirt…on your way, his actual words were a bit stronger!!!

A parting shot for Isak

You can go for £150 million.

One payment and please submit a transfer request.

That is enough of him.

We have in my opinion a great season to look forward to and a European competition to look forward to.

My only regret is that I won’t be in the Gallowgate this time when Barcelona arrive.

So to every one of you, I wish you a great season…and an FA cup would be nice.
