The passion of both GB & JL shone through ( no surprise there ) - Jack in particular confessed that he is in love with football ( repeated that several times ).
Not much to report. A few titbits:
- Jack believes that the current academy graduates are ruthless, talented & aggressive enough to take the club back into the Premier League.
- when asked about the importance of Cat 1 status Gary was not too fussed with the one exception of the 'games programme' that the top category brings.
- in response to 'do players have too much power?' GB responded by saying he believed this to be the case at the top end & referenced what has happened down the A46 as an example.
- JL talked about the players needing to be 'tribal' when representing the club on the field. GB suggested that JL was particularly desperate to win any game against Sheffield Wednesday. Derby County 'complained' after a recent Academy game ( didn't mention the age group but JL just chuckled ).
All in all a good night - also attended by a smattering of U23's inc Iacovitti, Yates, Gomis, Gabriel & Edser.
Just seen - on another board - a suggestion that both GB & JL will be gone at the end of the season with McParland to bring in his own people? Hope someone can refute this - bad news ( in my opinion ) if they were allowed to leave!
