I used to go to there things and have little interest now, pleased they sound like a good team but bottom line is what matters is results. We start tomorrow and look way off a good team for this league. The next test is the deadline which will set the course for the first half of the season, still plenty to do. I’m the opposite. I want more information and less personality. I thought last years was far more informative. I’m not really interested in liking the characters involved. Takes all sorts

John doesn't look well, does he! He looks like he could do with a good meal. Perhaps a bowl of lobby. I know that he cycles, but that means nothing. It wouldn't be the first time that someone who is deemed fit, was taken ill. He's got nothing on his body to sustain him if he was taken ill. I'm wondering who would take the reins of the Club, if he had to take time-out. He doesn't look well to me, & I would be concerned if I was his relative. He looks a bag of nerves as well, with all the scratching & twitching.

Takes all sorts There was a lot of information for me, how recruitment works (changed a lot from the past, not just a couple of phone calls but a much longer process - talking about the aims of the club, why a player is needed, what a player's aims would be on joining etc) , how the u21's are used in first team training, what SS does on a Sunday ready for training on Monday, his aims - top half first and foremost but once you are in the top half come Easter, everyone in the top half is in with a chance, what he learned last season - interesting that he said he was well warned about the intensity of the Championship but it still shocked him, that he realises now how important it is to be pragmatic in the first 15 minutes as making a mistake and conceding early is the death knell in a Championship match, no change at all to ffp with the new ownership and all the other bits Jon C talked about profit and sustainability. I'm sure there was loads more and there were some bits I probably had heard before but hearing it from the horse's mouth gives clarity.

I'm sure there was loads more and there were some bits I probably had heard before but hearing it from the horse's mouth gives clarity. There was a lot less clarity about the roles than last year. Apart from the fact he’s got 20 years experience (which I learned about 3 or 4 times) I’ve got no idea how Darnbrough’s role differs from JD’s for example. Has the make up of the technical board changed. Are the various holders locked into a vision, a style, an ethos that has been decided upon or is one of them in control of that. Basically loads of questions I would have liked to hear about and far less about cat’s but that’s what people seem to want, the cult of personality.

All speculation by ourselves obviously but I'm wondering if he has LADA (autoimmune diabetes) I have it myself and have lost over 5 stone in weight and it makes you look very much like john, and because you have to watch what you eat you can't put the weight back on. Anyway hope john is OK..

I listened to it on the wireless. I enjoyed it. OS. Gave you a 'like' for using the word 'wireless', it doesn't get used nearly enough these days! He has to use a wireless as he literally has no electricity or gas in his house! He cooks with coal and wood pilfered from Cocknage wood! 😁😉

SJW looks in great shape physically. Schuey could be his chubby twin brother. Is it just me or every time SJW speaks, Schuey had the look of "I fucking hate you" 😂

Not sure who likes who or who doesn't, but all seemed quite comfortable in each others company.

Just managed to watch the Fans Forum and I have to say that’s the best and most positive one I’ve watched and fills me with so much hope for the future

He looks fine to me. Far fitter looking than the majority at the stadium on matchdays

Thanks mate yeah I cope with it, it was just a shock how quickly it came and of course watching what you eat especially if everyone around you is scoffing and drinking what they like😁

Just watched it and John Coates looks for all the world like Gollum out of the Lord of the rings.
Looks ill and what a fidget.
