00:00What are your thoughts on Ledsen's situation, because you've only spoken highly of his character and stuff,

00:05you seem to really love it, but he's not playing much, is he?

00:07No, not for us. That obviously has implications because he's out of contract in the summer and obviously for Ledo.

00:16But I don't think anyone needs to be told that Ledo gives his all every day, every moment in training, in the games,

00:23and he wants to be here, he wants to play.

00:25But, just like every footballer we've just been speaking about, he's got a career to look after as well and he wants game time.

00:32I'm aware of that, he is, but for me and the football club as well, we've got a few players who are out of contract in the summer

00:42and we need to make sure that we do right by the club as well.

00:46If come the summer we're managing with the budget, then we have to play with the budget. Does that make sense?

00:55If we're not getting big injections of cash from player sales, things like that, then we're managing the budget

01:00and using players who are out of contract is a big thing.

01:03That's not to say that they're not going.

01:05I've spoken to one or two who know that they won't be getting contracts, but Ledo is not one of those.

01:11There's every chance that he's here again next year.
