Thought I’d start a thread.
First observation: Utilitia looks like the sponsor for this year?

They were the Jimmy Mac stand and junior shirt sponsor for the 21/22 season.

Always like this - I've known Dyche be 45 minutes after the scheduled start

Hopefully the delay is so we can confirm a signing or two...doubtful but I am allowed to live in hope

Watching the YouTube link, we seem to have managed to miss the start of our own new manager's first press conference?
Great start BFC!

I was also watching the Youtube Link, just seemed to start part way through after being late. Our media department is school boy. No signings to announce either. Waste of time.

Quite a lot shorter than I was expecting that. Still, good to see him in the building and interesting that it's a 4-5 year contract.

Nice to hear him say the extreme transparency from the club was a big part of what attracted him.

Certainly talks well and not the overconfidence and shooting down of people answering questions like Dyche had got to. I'm liking what I'm hearing thus far.

I like his manner and his eloquence.
Speaks like he is here for the long haul, not just in contract length, but in believing in the project before him.

The problem is that over time the manager & media get to know each other well. With Dyche, for us, it was like eves dropping on a private conversation.

I'm not sure there was much else he could have said.
4-5 year contract. Not looking to bounce from one club to the other
Every player has a price if a club comes in but isn't worried, as he seems confident in the ability to bring in players
Looking through 100s of players a day
He has the same vision that the board have
Seems to suggest players are soon to be signing

That was the broadcast conference, the one for the local journalists follows and is not streamed. They will surely ask more relevant questions but most of the questions there were asked by Pete Stevenson for Sky.

yeah good call - let's hope EVERYONE can stay together and realise this could be a slow calculated rebuild and just tone down those "straight back up" ambitions - yes it might happen but let's be realistic IF Collins departs we have lost Pope, Tarks, Mee and Collins that's not just a hole thats the spine of a team that was not very good. Not every signing will be a hit we already know that. Take from the interview, long term and stay calm.

Seemed very open, nice bloke. Makes a change from Dyche’s style.

Thought he came across very well… and said as much as he could, as honestly as he could. Very impressed with him so far. But s he says ultimately about what happens on the pitch. Wish him hell, obviously.

It's for the press - that's why the word is in it. All the pre-match press conferences they did last season that were broadcast were stopped as soon as the broadcast section was over.

At one point I’m sure he referred to our financial situation and “the debt”. It seems he’s going to talk openly about it, which is good.
Also interesting that he said we’re looking at 100’s of players just in case players leave. Suggests we’re taking a different, data-led approach and he’s onboard with it.
Thought he answered the Collins question well - that he wanted to respect their holiday, talk to them when they were back, but would’ve liked him to call him out as one they want to keep!!

There will be certain journalists Burnley work with; allowing exclusivity. If we see everything being announced live, press conferences are made redundant.
