00:00 I guess the only place really to start is after the news yesterday broke that the club are in talks with Sonia Bompasta about potentially becoming your successor.
00:10 I guess my first question is, what qualities have you seen in her coaching career so far?
00:17 I think I've said this on numerous occasions, when the club has something to report about, you know, a head coach appointment, then I'm sure they'll deliver that.
00:28 But we don't have anything to report at this moment, so I don't want to talk about someone who's under contract elsewhere.
00:34 You don't ask me to sit here and talk about Jonas Idavel every week, nor Gareth Taylor, so nor should I sit here and talk about Sonia Bompasta.
00:43 Is the mould of her the kind of head coach you would like to see the club go towards? Because you speak so much about wanting more female coaches in the game and what those female coaches have the biggest opportunities.
00:58 I mean, I'll repeat myself, just in case you didn't hear me the first time, but I think when the club has something to announce, they absolutely do not have anything to announce at this moment in time.
01:09 There's absolutely nothing to comment or report on. The process is ongoing, the club have made that clear.
01:17 And I'm sure everybody's keen for some news to come our way, but that isn't this current time, I'm afraid. Sorry.
