If I get my way, it will be a lot of fun. 577 00:36:15,762 --> 00:36:18,082 If he gets his way, it'll be boring! 578 00:36:18,122 --> 00:36:20,562 He doesn't want to take anything away from the team, 579 00:36:20,602 --> 00:36:23,082 -which I fully understand. -But the deal with Vince is done? 580 00:36:23,122 --> 00:36:25,762 The deal with Vince is done, yeah. 581 00:36:25,803 --> 00:36:28,642 I thought I'll just take you through what we've accomplished 582 00:36:28,682 --> 00:36:30,963 in the last three months. First thing was a refinance 583 00:36:31,003 --> 00:36:33,363 of our bank debt. If you recall, last November, 584 00:36:33,403 --> 00:36:36,562 we closed a £40 million... We've paid that down to about 585 00:36:36,602 --> 00:36:38,963 £33 million now. That we'll continue to advertise, 586 00:36:39,003 --> 00:36:41,682 but we're going to need more funding in the Premier League. 587 00:36:41,722 --> 00:36:45,082 Our thinking is we want to be reasonably active in the window 588 00:36:45,122 --> 00:36:48,883 and build a club that can build and build and build on itself. 589 00:36:48,923 --> 00:36:52,323 And as you guys are very aware, it's a lot easier to do all 590 00:36:52,363 --> 00:36:54,682 of this business when there's good news happening on the pitch. 591 00:36:54,722 --> 00:36:57,082 OK. I think we're all good. 592 00:36:57,122 --> 00:36:59,483 We'll turn it over to Vince 593 00:36:59,523 --> 00:37:02,523 and Lee for the player strategy side. 594 00:37:02,562 --> 00:37:05,923 Um, I think we'll start with the financial strategy a little bit. 595 00:37:05,963 --> 00:37:09,122 -OK. -Truth is, to be honest, it's going to be extremely difficult 596 00:37:09,162 --> 00:37:11,923 no matter how we cut this, there's no nice way of saying it. 597 00:37:11,963 --> 00:37:16,443 It's a very big, competitive league with clubs that have a huge amount of funding. 598 00:37:16,483 --> 00:37:18,562 Any squad costs below 100 million, 599 00:37:18,602 --> 00:37:21,762 it's just this hugely volatile existence. 600 00:37:21,803 --> 00:37:24,122 So, if you look at all three clubs in the bottom three this year, 601 00:37:24,162 --> 00:37:26,003 they've all spent £140 million plus. 602 00:37:26,043 --> 00:37:27,803 It might take us three or four years 603 00:37:27,843 --> 00:37:30,682 to compound that kind of growth in value. 604 00:37:30,722 --> 00:37:33,523 We have to be smart. We have to be smarter than we've been already. 605 00:37:33,562 --> 00:37:36,082 And we were pretty smart going into this season. 606 00:37:36,122 --> 00:37:39,803 But I think to simplify it, the moves we did in January, 607 00:37:39,843 --> 00:37:43,843 they were a spend to avoid spending Premier League tax. 608 00:37:43,883 --> 00:37:46,963 When we get promoted, it actually helps us a lot to, 609 00:37:47,003 --> 00:37:50,483 you know, to not have to spend an extra £50-60 million 610 00:37:50,523 --> 00:37:53,762 -on new recruitments. -From the outside looking in, 611 00:37:53,803 --> 00:37:58,122 there's been less utilisation for Foster than maybe we anticipated. 612 00:37:58,162 --> 00:38:00,923 He's an expensive striker, he seemed to come... 613 00:38:00,963 --> 00:38:04,082 Well, for me, it was completely planned because I keep saying 614 00:38:04,122 --> 00:38:07,082 everyone's getting nervous about the price tag. 615 00:38:07,122 --> 00:38:09,843 We ran an analysis. He's going to be the cheapest striker 616 00:38:09,883 --> 00:38:12,722 in the Premier League, by some distance. 617 00:38:12,762 --> 00:38:15,403 So, everybody's getting hung on to the fact that 618 00:38:15,443 --> 00:38:18,602 we paid a lot of money in the Championship, but next season, 619 00:38:18,642 --> 00:38:21,523 That's like not even, not even the minimum entry price. 620 00:38:21,562 --> 00:38:24,043 Lee's explained it's the big boys' table, 621 00:38:24,082 --> 00:38:26,963 so let's be clever, do it before, and develop him 622 00:38:27,003 --> 00:38:29,043 like we've developed so many players. 623 00:38:29,082 --> 00:38:32,722 -You can see that potential? -Yeah, we do, definitely. 624 00:38:32,762 --> 00:38:35,323 We also did a network analysis with the players. 625 00:38:35,363 --> 00:38:38,323 Who talks to who, who goes and has food with who, 626 00:38:38,363 --> 00:38:40,803 social life, professional life. 627 00:38:40,843 --> 00:38:45,722 A lot of the players who were central in terms of the teams' life, 628 00:38:45,762 --> 00:38:50,003 they're the ones who we removed. But it was, we felt it was necessary 629 00:38:50,043 --> 00:38:53,043 and we felt that with time, new connections would build. 630 00:38:53,082 --> 00:38:56,043 We lose another player this year with Ashley Barnes, 631 00:38:56,082 --> 00:38:59,562 who was probably the biggest one in terms of connecting 632 00:38:59,602 --> 00:39:03,003 all the groups in the team. I thought that the other players 633 00:39:03,043 --> 00:39:06,483 were looking at him more like a clown. 634 00:39:06,523 --> 00:39:08,682 And when we did the analysis, I realised no, 635 00:39:08,722 --> 00:39:11,523 they look at him like a real leader, they look up to him. 636 00:39:11,562 --> 00:39:13,602 The best example is if he has a good day, 637 00:39:13,642 --> 00:39:15,803 everybody can have a good day. If he has a bad day, 638 00:39:15,843 --> 00:39:18,082 we all need to have a bad day. 639 00:39:18,122 --> 00:39:20,523 -And so... -A true leader! 640 00:39:20,562 --> 00:39:23,122 (LAUGHTER) 641 00:39:23,162 --> 00:39:25,803 And I explained this to Ash. I said, there's a whole life 642 00:39:25,843 --> 00:39:29,642 after football, which you have to prepare yourself for now, 643 00:39:29,682 --> 00:39:31,762 because that type of behaviour will kill you 644 00:39:31,803 --> 00:39:34,562 once you've got no-one there to say you're a great player any more. 645 00:39:34,602 --> 00:39:37,483 And every time there was something, every day, I was like, 646 00:39:37,523 --> 00:39:40,122 "Ash, that's what we spoke about." Like, I really treated him 647 00:39:40,162 --> 00:39:42,963 a little bit like one of my children, in that sense. 648 00:39:43,003 --> 00:39:45,682 But what I got back from him was unbelievable, 649 00:39:45,722 --> 00:39:48,403 to the point where two months before the end of the season, 650 00:39:48,443 --> 00:39:51,443 I was able to tell him upfront, "Ash, you're not part of my plans 651 00:39:51,483 --> 00:39:53,562 "for next season." And... 652 00:39:53,602 --> 00:39:55,963 And I only lost him for three days. 653 00:39:56,003 --> 00:39:58,722 (LAUGHTER) 654 00:40:03,923 --> 00:40:06,843 -Is that big enough? -It's about right, actually. 655 00:40:06,883 --> 00:40:09,883 All right, gentlemen, we're ready.
