yeah as always, but considering it basically a fans show i thought he was very open and honest

says fair play rules shouldnt effect us too much cos of the way we have been run in past

he impressed by Jol or at least he gives off that impression, likes the vision going forward
wantes to redevlop the ground so that we can generate more income

pre season next year will be stateside with a game at Jacksonville very much on agenda, which he thinks will be a sell out

Cool

I wish i could hear the whole interview. Although i guess all this talk means nothing until we see a "big" player holding up the shirt.

I found it very frustrating. The guy took time out to speak to fans through this forum but the interviewer seemed totally unprepared and a little overawed by the occasion.

His Brit colleague didn't help when mi assed to him and he asked the man for a job. He then followed up by asking about a twitter account and got a bemused and polite, terse answer "no plans for this". What a wasted opportunity!

Although understandably cagey on specifics, he did talk about improving corporate facilities to increase revenue, alongside key sponsors who are effectively also investing in the FFC franchise. With continued deep and loyal support, he sees us jumping up a notch or two and did mention paying higher fees for better players, as he feels every season we should be looking to get a little better. He is aware that others have tried to shortcut to the top table and have spectacularly failed. He does not want this for our club.

Overall very positive to my ear but I wish more was made of this golden opportunity. The guy was quite open and when asked "do you have time for a couple more fans questions?"', he replied, "of course, as many as you like, let's have them all". Sadly the interviewer seemed thrown by this and garbled one more question and then said thanks for coming!

To be fair, credit for getting him on but.....
