Many thanks.

What was final score, please?

My view would be this appointment plus that of Ross last week, are clear indications that the DOF has already accepted the role. You don’t make senior appointments then present them to a new guy who may not want or rate them. DoF announcement imminent I would think.

I think that’s the right mindset. If we say we can get fifth we will lack drive, I fear. If we set our hearts and sights on third we play accordingly?

I drive past it regularly and it takes your breath away. Great things are possible.

I’d rather talk about XG than PSR.

I refer you to the game plan I devised this afternoon.

Score once and they’ve got to get three before they can approach the second leg with any confidence

Danger of being too negative and defensive? We should play our usual game.

Simon… In your view, have Eddie Howe and Paul Mitchell established a working relationship?
