 Bwys Gru長 yw'r belych o'r sgol agod! If you could give us a bit of an update. I think Levi Sutton, Tom Elliot. How are they getting on? Levi is still unavailable, unfortunately. He's still got a little discomfort. Tom Elliot's probably will look in terms of his injury. It's more significant than we thought initially.

No, we'll get to it. We're not there yet. It's still a number of weeks before we make any concrete decision. In my own mind, I'm pretty clear where we need to go and what I need to do in terms of the plays in the building at the moment, but there's still opportunities for a number of them. We're planning for next year clearly already, and that process continues right through the summer as well. So, as a case of making sure that we're in a good situation and we've got the right players in the building to enable us to be successful next year. The club accounts came out this week as well, which showed a drop in the money coming into the club all manner of different reasons. Are you still confident that the finances are in place that you will be able to assemble the sort of squad that you want going forward? Well, yeah. I think the club obviously was hurt by obviously the Covid pandemic like a lot of clubs were. Obviously, when you're not getting fans through the turnstiles, it's going to affect your bottom line. Clearly, we're in a position where we have good numbers coming to our game, so it's always going to be detrimental to us. But I think we're in good shape certainly in terms of the budget that I'm being told would be available. It's a decent budget at this level, so I'm quite comfortable where we're sitting financially, and hopefully we can utilise it in the best way. We don't waste a penny because it's about that. If we are spending money on players to come to the club or whatever, on contracts renewals and the like, then we have to get them correct because we can't afford to waste anything. I wondered how much of your remit going forward as well is bringing through young players who ultimately will be sold off. I don't mean that in a way that's specific to Bradford. I think pretty much every football club aside the top four in the Premier League are inverted commerce selling clubs these days, but is that a particular part of your remit to bring on talent that ultimately might make a profit for the club? Well, you always have that in mind. It's not the basis for the whole financial structure of the club, but it's part of it. Ideally what you want to do is produce players that will come through to your own first team and have an impact on maybe in the future you're able to benefit from that in terms of capital. I think that's a part of what we do, but it's not a huge part. It's more about what we generate ourselves in terms of gate receipts and the like, and we'll try and maximise that. We'll do that obviously by playing well and again full houses if we can. Away from home again this weekend though. Northampton also a team who are pushing to get out of this division as would Bristol Rovers. Many comparisons between the two sides. Are they going to be a very different kettle of fish to Bristol Rovers? There's been a bit more direct than Bristol Rovers, but they're another team. We seem to talk about these teams every week since I've been in the building that the teams they've got a lot to play for are going for play-off places or top of the league clashes. We have to test ourselves against them. It's good for me because I get a real indication in terms of what the best teams in this league are like and the ones at the top, what do they do well in comparison to ourselves. It gives me a real insight into what can be successful at this level. It's difficult going into these games because you know Europe against good opposition but from my point of view it's invaluable that insight that I'll get and the learnings that we'll all take from going up against these teams will help us next year. I'm more than happy to face these teams although at times maybe they may well have that ledge that given that we're mid-table we might lack. I don't anticipate that will be the case because I wouldn't want that to be acceptable. But we have to get out against that and understand that we'll see teams at the top have real opportunities and we've got to make sure we match that. Equally if you can match that as you did, it's a great effect against Forest Green Rovers away if you can show that the players are already in the building that can match the clubs at the top of League 2, maybe not so much of an overhaul needed in the summer. Clearly there is still that opportunity for players to impress from now to the end of the season and that's why they have to bring the edge to their game that will enable them to do that. I have no worries in that regard in all honesty. I'm seeing any drop-off in terms of energy or real commitment to what we're trying to do. It's just you're mindful of it but I haven't seen it up to this point. It's difficult times as in it for those players who are out of contract this summer. That arrow of uncertainty never really brings out the best in anybody. How do you deal with that man-management angle of the job? It's difficult. It's probably more pronounced at this level than maybe at all the clubs I've been at. I think there's an acceptance of that's how it is and that's how it has to be because invariably players are coming to the end of contracts that are on 12 months so sometimes they get 24 months. That's the norm usually. It's a huge turnover of players and I think there's a nevitability of that that there's quite a little bit of churn in clubs when you come to the end of the season but the skill is obviously making sure you keep the correct players and now you want to walk on to you've already got. In terms of shaping the squad going forwards, is it something that you would be keen to try and get done as soon as possible once this end of the season arrives? You're always like the players settled and ready for pre-season but sometimes there's good opportunities that take a little bit longer and maybe players have an expectation that maybe they're thinking that they'll have opportunities at a high level they don't come to fruition for them so they lower their sights somewhat and maybe we come back into their thinking so you never say never because you never know when something that makes sense in terms of acquisition of players you're not quite sure when they present themselves so it's up to us to make sure we're ready to bring good players into the club and have the means to if those opportunities become available. Excellent, thank you very much, good luck this weekend. Thank you, it's a pleasure. If you take the financial side out of it, is that side when it's being played very similar to how it corresponds for you at the time of tomorrow or anywhere else? Well lots of me, I have to make a decision in terms to give the information to the powers that be who discuss with agents and whatever but probably at the higher level it's more between chief executives and sometimes owners, agents like to bypass managers sometimes when they think they might get the answer they're looking for so sometimes at the top level management gets circumvented a little bit so I don't anticipate that will be the case. This year because obviously we're hands on here, I'm hands on it's about getting the best deals for Bradford and giving the best talent here that we can. We have to accept that the good players we've got will be attracted to other clubs as well so I think at the moment a lot of people are keeping their cars close to their chest keeping options open so that's a two way street I suppose. And obviously we're coming into another one of those busy periods in the football season. How do you manage to divide your time and get all the information you need when the games are set to come fast? Well we've got good support staff here, the guys do a great job in terms of analysis of opposition and leading into games so I'm quite comfortable with that, that's what I'm used to and that's what I'm getting so I have no problems with the level of information again. It's really important obviously I have the correct information and the type of information that I can use to good effect in terms of formulating the game plan that I want going up against these teams. The support staff I think I've mentioned before is fine and all the elements that are here in the building but maybe not in terms of boots on the ground so to speak. There's not as many people but as I've said it's sometimes better to be more involved because there's no reason to delegate and give people the opportunity to do the job because we've already got to jump in and help out. You asked about the players mark, that's all right. Diolch yn pererau, obviously he's having this run now, he's playing the wing, he's now playing number 10. Where do you sort of see him ideally? Well I looked at him in the position last week just because I felt it was a good option for him because he's technically a good player and I just felt maybe on the right hand side sometimes you can be restricted just because opposition will try and tie you down in one area of the pitch and I just thought maybe playing him in the middle of the park would give him the option to go to the left or right and give him more room to operate. As it was we didn't really get enough ball to him in those areas. I felt that when we did he looked like he could affect the opposition so a couple of times we were a little bit loose and Diolch yn fawr will admit that there was a couple of odd tunes where we could have been a little bit more careful and we probably would have had better situations but I think certainly it's a role you can play in and position you can play. Nothing last week really deter me from that it's just about us as a team being able to release him in the right areas on enough occasions. That is a long player. Is he someone potentially you could look at and try and get back or is it a case of... Do you like that conversation? I like Diolch yn fawr, he's done well. He played a great deal of football in the last few years in FFANS so coming here then ourselves allowing him the opportunity to play week in week out is something that he's lacked in his career in recent seasons so I feel sure he's enjoyed the experience to this point. Obviously he's come from a club at a high level and he's played at a good level prior to coming here so I'm sure he probably feels he's talented enough to play at a high level but it's all about time and an opportunity and I just feel we're a good option only to Diolch because it's a long place and I think we can give them if they feel they need a platform then suddenly it's good to come to Bradford City at the moment and certainly next year I'll think given our intention to have a really strong season next year I think people won't be a part of that so I would like to seriously consider that. And presumably also other players when you talk about potential loans to clubs at a high division as we spoke before the sale of the club itself and the fact that you've got 14,000 crowns you've got the expectation which presumably they won. Absolutely. Well that's what clubs at a high leagues want they want to try and replicate as near as possible what they'll be exposed to if they go back to their home clubs so we can do that we can give them players opportunities to show that they can deal with expectation and get crowns behind them. So yeah I think what we know we're having conversations with people now and they're saying the fact that obviously it's a big club it's a city club it's a club that get crowns we're playing in a way that maybe teams at a high level will appreciate and like and think well possibly we can send players to Bradford and get them down and playing a little bit more than maybe in previous times so I feel quite confident that we'll get some good loans in. And also you can almost overlook the division in a sense like the environment and they can sort of see the team, the club, the crowd. Yeah yeah it's all there for it I think like I said there's been lots of conversations already that we've talked about in terms of what we're trying to do here and people can see that it could be a good opportunity for the client so to speak. I was going to ask about Andy Cook obviously he's had a run without a goal he then scored at Forest Green and we spoke about it then and now he's had a run a bit he's going through a spell where he's scored consistently for the first year he'd been at this club pretty much one in two and obviously he's had a run I think one goal in 13 something like that I mean it's got to be playing on as one how do you sort of help him overcome that? Yeah it's difficult when you're strikeless and I was a striker for a long time I was never one that scored a weekend week out I was a little bit streaky myself so it was always a case of when I was scoring inevitably I'd score one after another and sometimes there's periods where you don't score but as long as you contribute to the team and your defect in the opposition which Andy does for us then I haven't got a problem with it ideally from his own point if you would rather be scoring I think Andy's maybe one of those players that worries a little bit when he doesn't score which is understandable but I think he's just sort of put an arm around it a little bit to carry him up a little bit Yeah you just need to encourage players when maybe they're trying to find the form they know they're capable of bringing it down fine and if you continue to do the right things then as a player you get back your form and it's only a matter of time with Andy because obviously the fact that Tommy was unfortunately unavailable now it would have been a good competition perhaps to sort of... Yeah well like I mentioned Lee Lee Angles obviously had a 45 minutes the other day we'll try and build him up and at some point he will be available so yeah competition's healthy and all positions
