[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Here are a few of the Q & A as I remember them, in no particular order. I am sure FT will provide a full account soon.

DD did fall out with CL and had decided to leave before CL was sacked. RK tried to persuade him to stay. RK appears to be the one that moved MDV on. He saw O'Grady as his successor which is why he was out on loan, to get "bashed about a bit" ready for Championship matches.

RK will consider loan signings but only if they can make an immediate impact in the team and they fit his preferred 'culture' - fast tempo, ball on the ground, foxes never quit, want to be part of LCFC not just here for the money.

TD 'dodged' a bit a question about all the Leeds fans standing. said there had been a bit of mix up about sending them fewer tickets because they always stand, and half suggested that they were not told to sit down by the PA announcer to avoid creating a public order situation. (I wonder if any of our fans were ejected for throwing paper aeroplanes?!)

TD said next season's season ticket prices would probably be the same as this season but he thinks the 12-16 prices are too high.

TD said would not look to next season's manager till May. Said did not know if RK would even want the job then!

Rk said Ray Graydon was on board to do all the jobs either he and MS did not want to do or did not know how to do, so they can focus on coaching, tactics and the players.

RK kept on about his philosophy of keep it simple, "square pegs in square holes", a reference to moving Kisorbo to his natural position of CH rather than midfield and Maybury on the right interchanging with Stearman.

RK said Weso would be back stronger than ever and no permanent damage, physical or psychological has been done.

RK said he has no doubts that Joey will continue to give 110% right to the end of the season.

RK said that he accepted that there had been a discipline problem earlier in the season which he put down mostly to frustration at results not going our way. He said he has spoken to the team as a group about this and believes our record to have been better since he took over. Paddy's red card he put down to passion rather than malice, and he thought the ref got it wrong - penalty yes, red card no. Peter Jones, ex Prem ref, had told TD that 'technically', if the ref could see the incident correctly, the decision was correct according to the laws of the game.

There was probably a lot more and if I remember them I will post them.

Rob came across as a modest, self-effacing guy who seems genuinely proud and honoured to have the opportunity to manage the club he grew up with and is seeking to mould a group of players who feel the same way into a great team.

i'm gonna post this on the OS boards Mike, cos i don't think any of the regulars on there went last night, and i'm sure they'll be interested in what they had to say.
