Obviously, you mentioned talks taking place with players who know they're leaving now,
00:03
so is it some emotional scenes out there?
00:05
Of course, yeah, never easy. Some awful conversations.
00:10
Some awful conversations, but I always thought it was better to do it that way than it could
00:17
have had an adversarial effect, but there were such good pros that it didn't let them affect them.
00:22
So, yeah, sometimes have been difficult conversations.
00:26
Yeah, didn't you feel important for someone to chuck them on today and just give them that?
00:29
I didn't chuck them on. Andy was the big one, but yeah, it was important that they played a few minutes
00:36
and said the last, you know, as I said, Jordan Gabriel could have finished with a hat-trick, couldn't he?
00:41
How ironic that would have been, but there you go.
00:44
Yeah, you did mention Jordan Gabriel's probably played his last game now.
00:47
He started really well for you and dropped out the team since he's gone.
00:50
Yeah, he started really well for me and I think he came out of the team
00:54
because his wife gave birth, I think. I think that was the reason why he came out.
01:00
And then Adele's took his position there and results went well.
01:03
And all of a sudden it's three, four months before he's played.
01:06
So that's football. That's the way it is. It can give you a kick in now and again.
01:11
And of course, it's my job to pick a team that can win every week.
01:15
And the form of Adele, in particular, simply got better throughout the season when it went on.
01:20
Yeah, Jordan, he's a very long servant. Five years, I think it is, at the club.
01:24
Was he one of those who told you exactly what he was about when you arrived?
01:27
Yeah, yeah. As soon as I've seen him, I enjoyed what I've seen. He gives you everything he's got.
01:34
He's athletic and quick and he's never let the club down in five years, that's for sure.
01:40
So, yeah, difficult conversations, but that's the way it is.
01:45
And there's been a few with other more and I'm going to let the club do that.
01:48
I just thought for Jordan in particular, it was a good way to sign off.
