00:00Have contract decisions been made and communicating them?
00:04Majority, yeah, majority.
00:06What are them chats like? How do you find them?
00:09Is it you that delivers the news?
00:10Yeah, it's not nice, but I go back to what we were talking about.
00:14I think there's a way to do it, and I think the more honest you can be, the better.
00:19It's pointless getting fobbed off if it's bad news.
00:24And if it's good news, there still has to be a reality with, I think, how that's delivered.
00:28Because we're not saying that we're good enough now, does that make sense?
00:32There has to be a demand that there's improvement.
00:34So, yeah, listen, it's never a good time here, but it's worse, believe me,
00:41when you've won things and done things together, and then you're giving bad news to people.
00:45You know, that's horrible.
00:47So it's never nice, but as I say, I think there's a way to do it.
00:51And try and be as honest as possible.
00:54And, yeah, just treat it with respect, because, you know, everyone thinks they've got an opinion of footballers
01:06or working in the industry, what it is.
01:07But your people, you know, parents, you've got families, it's your own career.
01:12And when you're delivering bad news, it's, yeah, I think you have to be mindful of that.
01:19Dan mentioned the leds and stuff.
01:21I mean, assuming it's true.
01:22Do you think he's someone that deserves to be playing week in, week out for somebody with what he brings?
01:27I wouldn't say if it's true or not, simply because I think that bad, wild, you know.
01:35Not been announced.
01:36Oh, yeah, and all together, you know, all together.
01:39So I've done that with everyone, haven't I, whether you've mentioned, you've mentioned lots of people all the time.
01:43Are they staying, are they not staying?
01:44So I'm not going to say yes or no about any of the lads yet.
01:48That has to be done in the right way at the right time.
01:52But in terms of led, how everyone knows what I think of led on him, you know, when Ben was out as captain straight away.
01:57And I just think his personality is top, yeah, top.
