A chance to hear from the shitehouse who couldn't spot a decent player at a World Cup genius who is single-handedly saving our squad:

Another keeper coming in at some point from the sounds of it,
Interesting to know why the clip got clipped half way through.
Would also have been interested to hear what might be coming up, even if we don’t hear a lot.

He is always worth listening to. He comes over as articulate and someone who knows what he’s doing. I don’t know about others but he certainly gives me confidence that he knows his job and he plans well ahead. Going on the evidence so far this is his third window and each one has been stronger. A good listen. UTG!

Hopefully that helps those who don’t get the concept that signing players is complex.

Like most people I’ve had a cheap laugh or two about him signing family members or Coventry connections but in reality the guy clearly knows his stuff and is delivering according to his managers brief. Which, to be fair, the Coventry fans told us that’s what he did for them. If he’s the one assuring the prospective signing that Bristol is not in the back end of beyond, does actually have some schools that their kids will get an education in, will not be detrimental to their careers etc then he appears persuasive enough to bring transfers to fruition.

Great interview- all those that criticise what he does should watch this and take note of how much work they do, the detail, and how far it is done in advance

He’s back from his ‘scouting mission’ in the Maldives then?

I can barely believe that someone had been given the opportunity to ask Tommy a question, probably only one given the circumstances/environment they were in & they used that opportunity to ask him “Why are we only signing players from Coventry”. They must have came across like some snotty teenager with a serious attitude problem. It’s absolutely baffling.
Thankfully TW comes across extremely well In any of his interviews that I’ve seen so far.

I’m not getting over excited that we have someone at last who seems to actually be doing his job!

No, you’re right, someone doing what he’s supposed to do and doing it well should be a basic expectation. But I know and I’m sure you do that sometimes people don’t do that and that can result in carnage. Also, if he wasn’t you know what this place would be like so in my mind credit where credit’s due. UTG!

Good insight into the signings so far, first time i've heard him and he comes across very well. Interesting he went to watch our new keeper and they took him out the team when they heard someone was there to to have a look at him, very nice of them.

They must like their tall goalkeepers because two of the other keepers on Volendam's books are 6ft 5in and 6ft 8in.

Coventry finsihed 7th which was considerably higher than us. That means they must have been better than us on all areas of the pitch.

As they displayed in the away fixture, when they absolutely battered us from pillar to post.

We haven't exactly been taking Coventry's first teamers though, so to say they must be better than our players because they finished 7th is not really true.
