00:00Just lastly on Thursday when you said about freezing loads is all we can do now, there's been loads of confusion on the back of that, is there anything you can say to explain why that's the case? There's been reports of 2-3 million bids, is that just not true?
00:11The money's gone, listen we're disappointed, don't get me wrong, when the money runs out the money runs out and there's loads of ways to do deals and structure deals so it's like I said if we'd have paid 2 million pounds for Thierry it'd all be buzzing on what a sign
00:29We paid a couple hundred grand for it, it's unbelievable business, do you know what I mean? And we had to sell Theo to fund that and it helped us get Jack Walton in so that's good business, Jack Walton got a good offer and we weighed it up if we use that money we can put the first payment down on Adele so we did that, good business and then it's been a case of getting the most out of the money and I think we've done that but there is more, we need more players so we're going to keep
00:59pushing and we're going to see what we can do with that.
01:01On paper the net spend doesn't look great in comparison to what we've been spending recently, did you know it was okay to pay into the summer?
01:09No I thought there would be more definitely, but listen, I don't want any of this to be negative, do you know what I mean? It's your job, it's your job to know what we're competing against, do you know what I mean? And I want all the fans to understand what we're competing against, get behind the players, we all need to be aligned so yeah like,
01:28I don't know anyone who would be willing to, whatever it is, 10, 15, 20 million pounds of their own money every year to run a football club, I don't know anyone, so that's fair play to Craig, Peter does really well, he keeps the overheads down so our overheads are the lowest in the championship, that's really good, that's really good management, so then we have to then squeeze the life out of the budget we've got for the players, so I think our recruitment on pennies has been fantastic, so James, Peter,
01:54the coaching staff, how we've done it, it's been great, but if you keep drawing up negative, we haven't got this, we haven't got that, everyone's negative and that'll spread onto the pitch, we can't have it, let's all be together, I'm trying to be honest with you so there's no negativity, do you know what I mean? I'm trying not to hide anything so you lot all know exactly what it is and what we're up against and yeah, so what if clubs are spending? I expect us to beat them, but to do that, I can't have negativity or people come to the stadium being negative,
02:24they'll give everything, they'll give everything and that's what we need to do until whatever payments drop off and then we can spend money, you know?
02:34It's not the be all and end all, it's not the be all and end all, I got promoted out of this league with a transfer embargo, I wanted to slash the budget every window, it got less and less and less, got out of this league because we had that siege mentality, no one were going to beat us, nothing were going to get in our way and I expect the same, I want the same from everyone, the same from everyone, you guys, the fans,
02:54the staff get it, everyone's on board with it, so until we, and we will improve, the business we've done is good, I think we've improved the positions, you know, I thought Daniel Everson was the best free transfer goalkeeper out there, we got him, just mentioned the two lads, capitalised on Paul and Smudge who were the players in the clubs in the champ wanted, they wanted to come to us, the loans, can we get the best loans in now, you suck about, you beat them, you beat them, so yeah, we've done well but we need to do it,
03:24even better in the last few weeks, oh yeah, are those reported bids not true then, I don't know what, which bids you're talking, well I'm not in a name play but we have put bids in, yeah, yeah, but I don't know what bids you're on about, there's been no bids going in for a while now,
