    The Barrow game was hugely entertaining, best game this season by miles. Our performance wasn't good. Collectively, defensively at least, we were a catastrophic shambles and some of the individual performances, Kitching's in particular, were a long, long way short of what is required at this level, but it was two of hours of entertainment and that's been in very short supply this season.

    But the overwhelming feeling I had after the game was we need a left back. We needed one two years ago to be honest, but it was never more obvious than in the Barrow game.

    I think it is an overall lease but with agreements around how the entire area can be improved and how that would be funded. He does mention that at some point. He says something like not just a West Stand but whole area renovation (presumably the sorts of project that have been done elsewhere to provide other community resources as part of the renovation)

    18 minutes in - question asked about Oulare and Iseka, and whether they were signed "off piste" from The Spreadsheet.

    Answer?

    Who knows. Bit of fluff about how they expect Iseka to be an "average championship player" with potential to increase in value.

    Cheers Khaled, doesn't answer Loko though.

    Stupid question gally but did you speak on the Dane q&a or have you spoke on any/many former videos? I just realised when I watched this that I think it's the first time I've heard you speak and now I'm desperately trying to decide if I'm going crazy or not

    I'm sure he admitted shortly after that they were signed by Conway as a gamble

    Hard to answer questions on the spot when they haven't been sent in beforehand so you've a few days to find the answers. Oh wait.....

    Here is a good summary :)

    Must have missed that in my haste in smashing up my keyboard in frustration.

    Thanks.

    Regarding the 750k?

    "At some point, you will have to ask the owners".

    Excellent stuff that Khaled. Cheers for getting the answer to the question we asked months ago.

    It's plausible deniability 101 straight out of independence day. If the president doesn't ask the question then the president doesn't know the answer and can't be called a liar.

    I'll tell you what Khaled. You drag the entire useless bunch of them to the legends suite and I'll drive there and answer them the question myself

    Another thing. He repeatedly said that once a month he has a fans forum. Is that true? I know he had two in the space of a couple of weeks but he's been here 4 months according to him so where are the others?

    Yes, I did speak on the Dane video. Thanks for saying I'm forgettable :)

    Hadn't realised that the visually impaired fans have been so shoddily treated all season.

    He's done 4 since he started. I guess Dane didn't do any in the same period

    I've been working through it in intervals, and making notes on comments as I go along, which I suspect I'll be doing well into the evening.

    I've just reached the point regarding the £750k payment issue and the immediate thing I have to say is well done to both @Gally and @Loko the Tyke in trying to articulate the issue and push for an answer.

    Unsurprisingly, I have some views on the response, and I'll formulate these separately. However, I want to watch the entire interview before doing so in case there are any further references to it as we go through (I think Ben suggested as much in asking the question).

    Ben was correct in one aspect though, which he mentioned in the questioning, this issue isn't going away based on the response I've heard so far.

    Sorry Gally. That's why I was a bit confused because I'd recognise your face anywhere but I didn't remember your voice at all.

    When was the third?

    I remember the garrison and one at oakwell with Beth and co a couple of weeks later and then this.

    I also think it's a bit Boris Johnson like to claim you have them once a month when you've actually had loads together then gone hiding.

    It's a bit like me eating broccoli tonight, tomorrow, Friday and Saturday and then no more till the end of Feb but telling everyone proudly that I eat it once a week

    They haven't. It's the ones who've had to witness the dross on the pitch who have

    One interesting point so far that I hadn't clocked before - sounds like the club is paying for the court case against the Crynes. Unless I'm mistaken

    I missed that one.That really would be the final straw for me if that's the case?
