00:00The fact, though, that off the pitch another takeover has fallen through, how is the ownership situation beginning to impact you now?
00:08No, I don't think, I think we've tried to see through all of that, you know, since I've been here.
00:12It's difficult at times, especially when I first got here because it was a constant, well, it has been a constant theme more or less.
00:18And, you know, I think we've tried to stay focused on the real job from our point of view, which is to get the pitch right.
00:24You know, we can't do everything and we certainly can't affect the business model of the club in that respect if someone buying it.
00:29So we'll just have to wait and see.
00:31Can you be given any guidance as to how, when a resolution could be found?
00:35Nope, just fingers crossed that it gets found.
00:38Well, does that create uncertainty for you?
00:41No, not so. Well, it's been there ever since I got here, so, you know, it hasn't really changed.
00:46The narrative that side of it hasn't changed much.
00:48It just goes higher volume, as you know, or lower volume, you know, depending usually on results and the bigger picture of the club.
00:55You know, I mean, it's one of the, I can't control, you know, I always believe in controlling the controllables and that's not one, you know, I can't decide whether the club gets sold or who buys it.
01:04So we just got to wait and, you know, wait for that period when it happens or if it doesn't happen, then keep working hard.
