00:00When it comes to maybe looking to move players on, how active can you be doing that?

00:06Or is it just, we need to wait and see?

00:08Yeah, there's no need for me to be moving players on.

00:12I don't own a big squad, if we can get players in, it'd be at the expense of some of our players,

00:18but I'm not looking to move players on.

00:20There's no one you're thinking that I'm happy with, or there's a problem,

00:26holding us back in any way, so there's no drive from me to be actively pushing players out.

00:36Would you be wary of too much churning the squad at once?

00:39Just going back to those numbers, maybe four or five off, three staying.

00:43Would it be risky to lose maybe eight or nine at once?

00:45What, you mean in the summer?

00:46Yeah.

00:47No, again, it depends on what you think you can do and bring in, do you know what I mean?

00:51You don't want to be weaker, so our job is to not be weaker.

00:54Ideally, if you've got so much time and, listen, I said to Peter the other day,

00:59you never get your plan A, never.

01:01It just doesn't happen.

01:03So, yeah, the ideal is you know you can get one player in,

01:07it's one in, one out in what you perceive to strengthen the squad.

01:12It doesn't work that way.

01:14It doesn't work that way.

01:16So, yeah, listen, it's going to be, I just say it's an opportunity to change in the summer.

01:23It's not a necessity to change as much as possible.

01:29There's an opportunity and that's the big thing.

01:32There's an opportunity to try and improve the squad, try and improve what we're doing.

01:40Yeah, but there's no, like I said, I'm not sitting here now

01:43and I'm not lying to you guys when I say we must do this, we must do this,

01:46because this is not good enough, this is not good enough.

01:48I like how the players are responding,

01:50but your job is to always try and get better all the time.
