    So how do I watch this ? OS ?

    Fair does, but I am in me 50's and a bit lost, on fb but not twitter - would appreciate some advice, cheers
    It’s on the CAFC official youtube channel at 7. Probably the easiest way to watch it

    I can't believe he only agrees to a friendly interview with Ollie, should have been Andrew Neil

    "Position that the clubs in at the moment, being back in the championship made it attractive for us."

    It's 19 minutes and 44 seconds long.

    It'll be quiet on here for a while.

    Long Term Strategy. Sensible and sustainable.

    Building on set foundations. Identifying and improving upon lower league players and academy prospects.

    Main priority getting in for January window. Commitment to purchase remaining assets over a period of time. 

    Investment had to be made now, especially given recent results.

    Nothing surprising thus far. All very sensible and sounds honest. Trying not to slate Roland, sly digs noted though... Good lad.

    He seems to truly understand what we the fans want to see.

    Can't wait to watch the Premier League stars of the future.

    Olly asks why are the fans so important. 

    Club here a long time before and will be here a long time after ESI were here.

    Doesn't agree with some ways of running clubs.

    Will make decisions that some fans aren't happy with. (Taylor I'm guessing the first) suggested he will always be open and explain such decisions.

    He’s just said there will be some decisions fans don’t like but he’ll explain all of the decisions he has to make. Hopefully he will come out and say something about the Taylor situation soon?

    Like what he is saying.

    Nimer will come to games, not many but some. Possibly before end of January. 

    Southall will run the club day to day with support of Hellier.

    On Bowyer - Negotiation underway, Lee has been fantastic, plenty of conversation around ambition. Spoken with agent and will aim to tie up contracts after window.
    Staying up the first step.

    Southall, Bowyer, and his agent have agreed to get the contract sorted after the January transfer window

    Need to strengthen, need more bodies. 

    Financially in summer couldn't afford Green, can now.

    A lot of offers out for other players.

    Prices inflated beyond reason but everyone's working towards bringing players in.

    Before injuries we were competitive, we need to build on that. 

    Replacing Leko a priority.

    Potential of club with an engaged fanbase is endless.

    Seems like they'll be using this window to try and offset the notion that we're super loaded, which is interesting

    Southall saying that Bowyers agent wants to get the transfer window out the way first makes ne think that Bowyer wants to see the investment before he agrees a new contract
    Or he doesn't want his own contract to get in the way of signings that improve the team

    Fans need to come and support the club in order for it to grow and step up. 

    Remembers a tweet from a lady, pic of son, said new ownership does she need a season ticket for 18 month son, next day pic at Valley with baby.

    Things like that mean so much to the new ownership.
