Another good interview and impressive performance by TS. He just gets better and better. It's a really nice feeling at the moment knowing that we have the right man in charge finally (personally after years of calling for it with much derision) and that as every day passes, TS will be sorting our problems out one by one.

The only shame is that we completely wasted the zeitgeist of 2005-2008 period at the HWJ with the wrong set-up. I just hope we can build up the support base and regain the feel good factor again.

He always comes across really well.

Seems like Gleeson made his feelings known big time that he wanted out. TS happy to accommodate.

He seems perfectly happy that we have enough players at the club who can be chosen at centre, following the absence of Gleeson - but won't name names, despite Skents' best efforts to get it out of him.

Found it amusing when he said -
"You don't change 20 years of <silence>...... in 3-4 years"

neatly side-stepping the phrase- 'failure', 'under-achievement' etc, etc

Oh, and there is also no chance of Mathers being involved with the first-team over Easter.


p.s: Noticed he called you Gaz at the end, you've got your feet under the table there!

It was three - four weeks actually!

Not so sure about the feet under the table! He is certainly not afraid of making it clear when he doesn't want to answer a question which is fair enough.
Find this new approach of not naming teams or saying who is playing in what position quite interesting.
I think if I was in charge I'd name my squad and then change all the positions just before kick off to totally confuse the opposition.
e.g name Hicks as full back with Riley on the wing and then swap them!

Chuck Norris could change 20 years in 3-4 days, no problem.
