Alan Nixon is the source for this one, and so we can take it for granted that this Spurs transfer rumour has substance. And that my friends, is where my enthusiasm draws to a close. A billion pound stadium, a billion pounds worth of debt, and we’re reduced to negotiating with the official receivers of a football club on its last legs. Wigan has the Administrators in, and one can only presume Daniel Levy audacious swoop will be based upon transfer fees calculated at 41 pence in the pound.
The duo in question are 18-year-olds Joe Gelhardt and Jensen Weir, who would presumably be slotted into our Academy system. In fairness to the lads, at their young age, they are in no way responsible for the fate of their employers’ business.
Post COVID-19 and with a generational debt, this is not an unwise area to be looking at, but the fact remains, few if any fans will be whooping for joy at the news.
Alan Nixon says that Everton are interested in the striker Gelhardt, who has made 17 appearances for the Lactics, returning just the one goal. Both lads have a smattering of England U18 appearances to their name.
I’ll order to the bunting and the flags, you organize the lemonade.
