Jay DeMerit

I'm glad I resonated with your listeners.

It was a lot of fun, but listen, I want to go back to your Jay Demerit thing.

Cause we did him on another opportunity, another podcast that I did.

And, uh, That man has quite a story.

Um, Troy has a lot to say for himself.

But at the end of the day, when you hear Tom Ince in the week and you hear Troy and you hear Jay DeMerit and you hear, um, uh, oh, so many have come out basically over the last few days.

All but one of our star strikers has been very vocal.

I don't know what's happened to Mr. Blissett.

Yeah.

Have you seen the Jay demerit story?

I'm not sure I have.

the J demerit story is one of the best show.

And when it's over, his collegiate, he's like, hey, I'm going to.

go back with my English buddy back home and take a little shot at playing in the leagues over there.

And, you know, Jay starts out, you know, on the Sunday beer league, making $20 a game, you know, it's like, and you know, the rise of his deal is so, and I think, I think it might be called the rise of Jay DeMeritt.

Like it's, it's a really good, and you know, you gotta see it.

Robert's spoken out.

Jay DeMerit's spoken out.

Tom Ince has spoken out.

Imran Luza's spoken out.

Today's episode features another one of those players.

From Green Bay, a place not known for its soccer roots, Jay DeMerit busted every rule, every expectation, and proved everyone wrong except himself.

Starting on a pub league ninth division team in England, living in a friend's attic, in two short seasons, he catapults to captaining Watford and man marking Wayne Rooney at Old Trafford.

Enjoy the show.

Uh, not the border to Wisconsin, his home turf, but the other border up into Canada land.

[laughs]

Uh, joining us, US Men's National Team alum, uh, pro and beyond, and more, and dad, and all these things, Jay Demerit.

Thanks for joining, Jay.

"Watford, they don't like me saying the truth, but the writing is on the wall and has been for months.

Feel sorry for the fans still turning up out of loyalty and faith." And Jay DeMerit, um, uh, showed his conf- uh, vote of confidence to Deeney under that.

So you've got Elton John, Robbo, DeMerit, Deeney, all big figures at the club for various time periods, all of various background, but they're all saying the same thing.

So you could say there's three, four different eras of Watford all pointing at the same direction.

It's all to do with what's gone on with Granada and their tax and being paid to a- to another country from an investment I think fif- 15 Group I think it was called, Group 15.

Um, but yeah, have a look into that because it is really educational.

Um, but Duncan with the supporters trust like obviously Elton John, Troy Deeney, Paul Robinson, Jay DeMerit, the 1881 Group but then for Watford FC supporters board to come out this evening as well and also put out a statement.

I won't read the statement word for word but they've basically came out and said that they have got deep concern about the club's ownership, the leadership and the future direction of the football club.
