brilliant speaker, very funny and engaging.

he pretty much confirmed much of what p boro has been ascertaining

he wasn't happy at the beginning of the transfer window, and while he is happier - he hasn;t got what he wanted player wise etc

he seriously thought about leaving - he didn't say that in those words but thats what he meant.

said they finished the league in may, within 1 week he had his 4 main transfer targets identified and started talks whatever. for one reason or another, sometimes money sometimes family sometimes agents they didn't come off.

he had more meetings with lee and i'm not sure if he said ashley as well. anyway he said he had to sit down and make a decision - stay or go. he decided he wanted to stay - rather than learn chinese - and while he isn't getting the players he originally wanted he is getting the best players he can at this time. = and that before he signs anyone at all he makes sure they really really want to play for us, no ifs or buts.

he said preseason was going to plan - he didn't want to do long haul - asia with climate problems etc etc etc. have to balance getting the players fit and ready for start of season against making money with lucrative far east trips that doesn't necessarily provide the best training etc.

he also said him the players and us have to form an unbreakable bond during matches, its crucial that we give support during matches - not have half teh ground muttering about mistakes made etc - he said support during the match then you can criticise all you want afterwards on social media.
