Capt Jags should make an excellent pundit. He knows the game like few others. Rio Ferdinand reckons he learned a lot of his football nous from watching videos of Capt Jags playing and that the person who recommended he do this was none other than the manager of Man Utd. He had his faults, but Sir Alex Ferguson did know a bit about togger and if he endorsed Capt Jags’ role as a mentor to Rio, you’d have to conclude that Capt Jags has more than a bit about him.
Selfishly, I hope he’s not super successful in his punditry ‘toe in the water’ over in Cossackland. It’s vital for Everton that he gets that arm band on and captains our team of lion hearts in a (hopefully) trophy winning upcoming season. Beyond next season? I guess it depends on whether we can tempt Capt Jags to extend his contract for 2or 3 years. A lot of other clubs will be seeking his services and with his now having ‘world class tv pundit’ on his CV, retaining him will be tricky.
Fingers crossed though.
