    Here we go again.
    The same folk were eulogising about Junior being the reason Tammy came on loan from Chelsea.
    Hilarious.........but tbf out of 65 signings Junior was bound to get a few right........or was it Ashton......or was it Tinnion ?

    It’s an ass backward way to run a football club in my opinion, but what do I know ?

    I don’t recall anyone giving LJ credit for bringing Tammy to the Gate, we all knew then it was down to Ashton. The success of his loan was down to LJ getting the best out of him, much as it sticks in your throat RP, you can’t deny that.

    A friend of mine is a season ticket holder at Chelsea and has contacts behind the scenes.
    Representatives from different clubs were invited to deliver a presentation to the board to ‘sell’ why Tammy should go to their club.
    Lee Johnson’s delivery was by far the best and the decision to send Tammy to Ashton Gate was unanimous on that back of LJs pitch.

    I just don’t let my personal feelings against someone to obscure the facts.
    I didn’t particularly like or dislike LJ as player or manager. He was just ok - not brilliant, but we’ve had far worse.

    Another foreign policy we can screw up no doubt!
    It’s come to light that our tax revenues over the next few years will repay the Mauritius national debt whilst surrendering sovereignty

    I honestly don’t know at this stage RP. There is a lot of ‘small print’ but the signs are positive - free movement across the border was essential to me. Basically Gibraltar will be in Schengen, so once I’m there and have my ID card I will be able to spend as much time in Spain and Europe as I want.
    I’ve also just been advised that my job is ‘at risk’ for redundancy. After 20 years - I’d get the maximum payout - 18 months before planning to retire anyway.
    Perhaps the stars are beginning to align………..
