    The dugouts are getting a wrap tomorrow. Interesting that they’re saying that season ticket holders don’t look to have been as affected as expected.

    Is Cov really a good comp when they got so much for Gyokeres to build their squad off. Doug King has invested a lot buying the stadium etc but it's a handy jumpstart they got

    Plan for Mbick this season is … never got an answer

    He’s training with the first team and scored within two minutes of coming on in midweek. Excited for him to
    make his Championship debut.

    January budget won’t be taken in isolation. Not thinking too much about the plan until this window closes.

    Safe standing a big success and looking where to expand it. No decisions made but will do in consultation with fans.

    Shame they don’t ask proper questions from proper fans appears it’s all scripted and preempted  

    IF this is the case, it is a shame as I imagine the answers would be very interesting when they have to respond immediately without knowing the question.

    Accounts question (510k?) and net debtors related to transfer spend on Tanto and Kaminski last summer. Went over my head a bit. :-)

    I think it’s fair to say by watching that there are plenty of non scripted questions and answers being given.

    Rodwell talking about how we’ve expanded our scouting network, always looking to improve, etc.
    this has expanded dramatically. under Roland and after, we were pretty much exclusively only able look at players in the England, we didn't even have the coverage for Ireland/Scotland when Gallen was here.

    An open meeting would be the best way to negate that, however the fella from Mod Mag's questions made the pair of them look perplexed

    How many mirrors do you reckon Rodwell has in his house? 
    That white belt is straight out of Saturday Night Fever.

    Hope Gavin is getting a bonus for answering most of the questions with Rodwell staring him down.

    BRILLIANT, hopefully no more complaints at Directors meetings about the portion of chip sizings?!

    Rodwell says lease on the Valley was extended earlier this year and relationship with the landlord is good. Don’t remember that being announced.

    The first part yes, the second part I would imagine is a whopper.

    Club have looked at moving away fans into West Upper but would require extra policing and other considerations, about the right balance. Not currently in the plans.

    Rodwell spoke with Wrexham about the keeper then.

    Rodwell had a conversation with Wrexham about one of their players today “who will remain nameless”. Not interested in bringing back Dobson.

    Rodwell: “We have to maximise partnership revenue in order to compete with clubs in the Championship. For instance, I’ve signed a deal with Garnier, the UK’s premier fructose-based slick-and-shine system for eliminating frizz. We can all do our part to bring revenue in.”

    It would have been better to have Chapple there instead of Rodwell.
    Coupled with I am not sure why Elliott needs to be there.
