Transcript

00:00Do you want to talk about your visit to Thorpe Arch this week a little bit more?

00:10You alluded to the fact that you were chatting to Junior Firpo and people can read that interview

00:17with Junior in the Inside Elland Road newsletter next week, which should be out Wednesday,

00:23right?

00:24Yeah, probably Wednesday.

00:25Yeah, I wanted to speak to Junior because he's got a very important international break

00:32coming up that could be very significant and historic for Dominican Republic and he's very

00:39excited about it.

00:42He's a great talker, Junior, and if you get him on a subject, any subject really, and

00:49give him a question, off he goes, and he was absolutely terrific value, gave me some great

00:54stuff on his personal journey, his story, some really lovely family stuff, and he's

01:02not shying away from being Dominican Republic's main man.

01:08Some of the stuff he said about how that's manifested in terms of the opposition and

01:14how they treat him is pretty wild.

01:18He said some really interesting stuff on CONCACAF and a meeting he had with an inspector about

01:23the conditions they had to play in at a recent international break, and I also got him on

01:28his future as well and he didn't shy away from the topic, you know, out of contract

01:32next summer, so I wanted to talk about that.

01:35Yeah, really, really enjoyable chat and I think that it'll make for a very nice newsletter.
