00:00Yeah, yeah. I'm quite somber, quite sad today by the sorry affair of the last three months, really.
00:11I appreciate the call and the decision. It's quite sad that it didn't work out, but that's the business of football.

01:19Five defeats in six, I think one win in eight, down to tenth in the championship somehow.
01:24It all unravelled pretty, at pace, didn't it? Pretty spectacularly.
01:31And, you know, Bilko made a ruthless, straight business decision with no, you know, Andrew Nesta, I think I remember him back in January saying,
01:41this isn't a sentimental appointment, it's not an emotional one, it's one to get in the playoffs, which is obviously what the ownership group wanted.
01:47And, you know, the ownership group wanted.
