So he has spoken for the first time....
He has said he will not make any decisions on DW as he needs time to asses everything first (you'd have thought he'd have done this, the league table shows him the situation and the results/performances too).
Anyway here is what he had to say:
'Look I think it's clear that we've been in a really challenging period; there is no doubt about that. Everyone has been disappointed and frustrated about it. Results and performances haven't been where anyone wants or expects them to be.'
'That is where my first focus is now - it's trying to provide an impact for the men's senior team. I'm here now on the ground and I've been in the building for 24 hours. That is going to take some time. There is a process there for me to get to understand the context and see the way people work and interact. I have the benefit of coming in with a fresh perspective.'
"Hopefully, over the coming weeks, I can get that bit of information that, unfortunately I haven't been able to get from an external perspective. Of course, I've been following closely from afar, having lots of conversations and looking at lots of information, but there is nothing like being here on the ground and getting a feel by seeing it with your own eyes.'
'That is going to take some time. That's where my focus is going to hopefully be in a position then to have clarity on where exactly where I think we can improve, get better and where we may or may not need to make changes. That is my focus to begin with.'
BK has been on conversation with DW around his situation and the results but says he has been impressed with those conversations and the talks have been very positive. But he will now observe him on the training pitch.
'I've had numerous and really really positive conversations with David (Wagner) before I came here and yesterday as well. That process is ongoing, I've watched one training session and some of the players are away on international breaks but you can still get a look and a feel. It's probably slightly different from when everyone is back here in a typical game week prep. Those conversations have been very good though. It's different when you're talking versus actually watching and seeing what it looks like for real. That process can now start and I'm looking forward to doing that. It's great to be here and I'm looking forward to getting going.'
So DW is staying as BK needs to see him training with all the players and that can't be done until players back from international break.
One win in 10 is good enough. It sounds like BK wouldn't have even acted if we'd lost against Cardiff as BK says that he has had great chats with him, needs time to asses things and see DW on the training pitch. This club
