    That's what I thought.

    I don't understand the Ronnie explanation.

    Derek spunked a load of money on a player he wasn't going to play.

    As for shiftiness, I think those Zoom calls are really hard to do as the camera is never where the person you're talking appears on the screen, so you're constantly switching from looking at them to looking at the actual camera.

    In my case, whenever I have to think about something I tend to look away to one side too.

    I think we need to give him a free pass on that at least. Will know more about how shifty he is when we see him interviewed in the flesh!

    The right questions are getting asked at least. Interesting about the new stadium. Do we believe that the beach site that has been touted only became available just about the exact time DC took over from Milne?

    To be fair I think what changed for that site was the Hilton going bust in May 2020. Before that I don't think the Cooncil would have seriously thought of turfing a busy hotel off of the site to build a football stadium

    I thought it went fairly well. All the big questions fans were asking were put to him and he did give an answer to them all.

    I wasn't sure what to make of his comments about where do you see us in 5 years time and what's our aims and ambitions as a club... was slightly mixed messages - "go into every competition aiming to win" and then he said a couple of times "win a trophy every few years, at least." I guess he was maybe just trying to avoid giving a soundbite for the media to pick up on if he had said "we want to split the Old Firm" or "we want to try to win the league within the next 5 years" or "we want to win a trophy every other year".

    I guess a lot of the aims and ambitions he mentioned related to 15,000 season ticket sales etc - I'm sure he's smart enough to know that that will be 99% driven by what's going on on the pitch rather than all the other things he's planning around "matchday experience" so the investment needs to focus on the playing side of things if he wants to reach that goal. Having said that, I like the fact he has lots of ideas about different things away from the playing side - some will work, some won't, but it's good that he's willing to think outside the boring box a bit and at least test things out.

    I will also refrain from criticising him for "looking shifty" - if he had his own video on the screen, Rob's video on the screen, and some notes on the screen (which is the set up I would have had if it were me) then his eyes would be dotting about a fair bit just with that. I always tend to look away from the screen if I'm thinking, or trying to find words for something that I hadn't expected to be asked.

    Overall, pretty decent.

    PS - the other funny thing was that two or three times he got players names wrong - Marley Watson was one... and I'm sure he said Scott McCrorie as well.

    That he personally paid for Hernandez was one of the more interesting points. Not sure he'll get his money back! But shows he's willing to put his hand in his pocket.
