00:00 Is there an update or a latest on the appointment of recruitment staff?

00:05 Steve Bettis came in, he was talking about this sort of thing and there's kind of a process underway.

00:10 Are they going to be in so that they can start?

00:14 Yeah, they have to. I mean, I've got to say, I would say regardless of what division that we're in,

00:19 it most probably would be the most important window for the last nine years, nine or ten years.

00:25 We've got to get it right. So we have to get it right in terms of a lot of ways,

00:30 from terms of the ability of the players that we're bringing in and most importantly for me,

00:34 from the cultural point of view, the personality point of view and the attitude point of view

00:39 and the identity of what this team needs to get back to looking like.

00:45 So, massive window for us. We all understand and know there's going to be a lot of players going back

00:50 that have been out on loan to us. There's going to be a lot of players that are out of contracts as well

00:57 and potentially there might be a few sales as well in there. So, it's a huge window you have to get right.

01:03 We have to go through a process as well. You know, we can't just go, well, we've gone and pick him

01:10 or we've got to get the best people for the job that fits in with what will work with me,

01:16 what will work with the coaching staff and what is right for the football club in terms of these people,

01:21 the work ethic, who they're looking for and the help that they'll give us, me, the staff and the football club,

01:28 to identify the right players for us going forward.
