Vital Champions League
Maloney did a phone in on GMR, it's worth a listen. A few main points he mentioned if you've not got time to listen:
The appeal against points deduction has failed. We definitely start on -8.
The players who handed in notice did it directly before Danson bought the club. Maloney wished they'd have talked to him before they did it. He tried to convince them to stay and we were appealing against it but decided to let them go as even if we won we'd be left with players who didn't want to be here.
U21 manager and goal keeping coach Stephen Crainy and Jack Cudworthy promoted to the first team but will continue to work with U21s.
We weren't in a position to pay big fees regardless but the ban on paying fees this window or next has prevented him signing some young players for low fees.
We'll switch between back 4 and 5 over the season.
There is no plans to bring in another striker.
Kerr probably 2 months away from fitness. Magennis 3 weeks until he rejoins full training, Clare may be fit for Northampton.
He doesn't speak to Danson that much but he is available when needed. He mostly speaks with Ben Goodburn.
He needs to completely rebuild some departments including recruitment.
He has already been speaking to Warriors and is very interested to see what they do that he could apply. He is very interested in their use of real time in game analytics that we currently don't do.
A lot of work has gone into changing the way we play and everyone has embraced it, but it's hard work. But Maloney believes that it's the best way to win games and will also be more enjoyable to watch for the fans.
He wants to be here a long time and eventually get the club back to the Prem, playing good football but it's got to be done in a sensible and sustainable way. In the short term we've got to get enough points to stay up as quickly as possible and see where that takes us. Then build back up to the Championship in the following couple of seasons.
