On the recruitment side, what I find interesting is that, numbers-wise, they're not better
00:07
off, are they? The squad size is the same. Corbijn has essentially rebuilt what he had.
00:14
He sort of lives by a mantra of outfield positions, I want two for every position. That's what
00:22
he aims for. That's what he's got again. I think we could go through it all, but we don't
00:26
have to. That's what he had last season, really. Numbers-wise, he's rebuilt. But what's
00:34
most impressive, I think, especially given the financial fair play restraints. We reported
00:40
on that all summer, didn't we? There wasn't necessarily funds to go and spend that Bill
00:45
Cool had, albeit obviously what emerged with Mikey Johnson at the end in that £3m bid
00:52
as Albion were able to make the finances work. It's the calibre and ability and general
00:59
profile of players that have come in, by and large, to replace those that have left. I
01:04
think fans see them as, for the immediate and for the long-term, better for the club.
01:11
Just belief in the recruitment and, I suppose, just see a confidence and a vision under the
01:19
new ownership. That's another thing, isn't it? First summer under the new owners, they
01:23
had a lot to do, a lot to try and support the head coach with, while having one hand
01:29
tied behind their back, as Shillam Patel wrote earlier in the summer, didn't he? Resourceful,
01:33
prudent, outside the box. It just looks like they've delivered on it.
