The Square Bowl podcast.

Welcome to the West Stand. My name's Dan Moyland. Michael Normanton is with me today. All right. I am all right because I'm looking forward to our trip to New Orleans. Do you know why? Because I've got an ESIM installed on my phone. That's going to be the main bit. It's all about. So I'm looking forward to trying out my say. It's a Sailing e-sim because I got three gigabytes free with my NordVPN plan, right? Which is nice, isn't it? Because saily.com is from the people who made NordVPN. It's an ESIM product, which means you've got data wherever you go. So I've got my normal ESIM in there for my normal UK network, turning off my data, put my Saly one on, turn my data on that. That's how it works. Imagine a world where you can do that. Is that complicated to do? Dead easy. Okay. It's really. And if your phone's not compatible and you've got, oh, no, my phone's not compatible. 30-day money back guarantee. No questions answered. 24-7 support as well within the app. And have a look on the app store. That's exciting, isn't it? I think that's the best news I've heard all week. It probably is. Which is sincerely true. Given the topic of today's show. Yeah, you will get an e-sim that provides an internet connection wherever you travel, saves your money on roaming fees as well. Because I've looked at like my network's roaming fees for going to America. How much? Yeah, over five per a day on mine. I check. It's for eight quid a day on mine. That's not happening. So I've got my sale of e-sim is in there and me and me three gig of data. And we'll be we'll be sourced. Won't we mean you, Michael? Very nice. Get yourself to your app store. it's on Apple and Android. It means you don't have to faf about getting SIM cards when you land or buying one off a bloke outside the airport. That kind of jazz, you know? Am I allowed to chat to other men outside the airport? Mate, what you're doing in your spare time is entirely up to you. But if you use the square ball at checkout, you get an exclusive 15% discount on a Saly e-Sim data plan.

Today's guest then from The Athletic, straight from Ellen Road, no less, Berencross.

What a few days it's been.

Transfer window is closed.

So just to timestamp all this,

you have been speaking to the club this afternoon,

Tuesday afternoon,

inside Ellen Road for a good couple of hours,

getting an understanding,

a good handle on what's happened in the transfer window,

because there is, should we say,

a fair bit of unhappiness is what has happened in the final window, because there is, should we say, a fair bit of unhappiness is what,

what's happened in the final hours of the window.

What can you share with us from this then?

What's the explanation?

How can we mollify the crowd?

How can the club help to try and mollify the crowd

or make people understand what's happened? Because to my eyes, it looked like a bit of a shit show towards the end. Hello, nice to see you both. Please the window's over now. Just remember, don't take any of this personally, Barry. It's fine. Phil used to love the transfer window. We will shoot the messenger and that is you. Well, yeah, deadline day wasn't good, definitely. I think the way that they are phrasing it as people will be able to read, by the time people are listening to it. Where can they read it? The athletic, of course. Among other good outlets. So Robbie Evans's quotes will be out there, so it's going to be there. It's going to be very clear, and people can read it and digest it at their own pace with full context for what's gone on. So I'll try and remember what's been said in the sort of haze of the last few hours. You've come in looking a little bit frazzled for two hours of chat about this stuff. I know you've got to recount it all. I think the way they phrased it was a bad day, but a good window.

I think they acknowledge, you know, Harry Wilson was who they wanted on Monday,
