Willo of Whiteley

This £100m fee on his head has no doubt been leaked by the club to effectively deter potential clubs. If clubs are serious, then great; if they aren’t then bugger off. I’m sure they’ll be a middle ground in there somewhere. Let’s be honest we all know that he hasn’t been a £100m player at all in his career. He’s a young player with a lot of learning ahead of him still. You’d hope his little stint at Chelsea, albeit for a month a few years ago, will make him think carefully about his next move. My guess is he’ll stay, maybe an extended contract with some form of clause dependant on if promotion is gained in a years time, or a big club comes in for him.

Having watched his first interview, he talks a good game, but he needs to gets fans onside and the footballing operation united pretty quickly. This is arguably a worse time than relegation two years ago, because in theory you’d have expected SR to have learnt from their mistakes. They’ll be under more pressure this time, and for now that pressure will be on Spors. Really hope it works out. Really hoping his first decision - the manager - is a success. It cannot be Ivan Juric, these past few months are evidence that he is not the man to continue.
