00:00How excited are you about the appointment with the club you've just made?

00:05Yes, I think it's a big addition to the club, a big addition to the team, a team that is

00:11already formed with a lot of great people, Rich leading it obviously, but as well with

00:19James, with Jason, with a lot of people at the club that have been doing such good work.

00:25So it's about building out that chemistry and I believe Josh has been fully involved

00:30in the process as well, so we are all very excited to have him.

00:34How much do you feel like he can help the club, especially in the transfer window?

00:37We've seen his reputation for signing some of the best players in world football over

00:41the course of the last decade or so.

00:43Well, you just met him and straight away the words that come out are always winning, improving

00:50and demanding.

00:51He's a person, very honest, very straightforward, very clear vision of what he wants to do.

00:58He was so willing to join us, which is a very positive thing as well because he had many

01:02other possibilities and he's chosen to come to us and now it's about us giving him the

01:09support and the understanding of the situation and context straight away.

01:15For him to start to do what he's already done for many, many years at the highest level,

01:19which has been very impressive.
