Disappointed me a bit though. No name check for duncfost01 Wait until you find out who’s directing the doc Drunken Duncan or sober Duncan though?

You get the feeling he’s a warm friendly guy but he doesn’t suffer fools for long.
Sounds like he’s keen to go get a higher calibre of people in where necessary. And sees our opportunity is to sustainably compete by operating better. And that starts with the people involved.
My lasting impression of the Hoyle era is that he may have misplaced his trust in mediocrity. When he employs a CEO, and yet (by all accounts) everything fell apart when he was away in hospital, you have to wonder if Julian Winter was up to much.

Can someone tell him it’s the ‘Premier’ league, not the ‘Premiere’ league?

Impressed - like the guy. I see a return to #nolimits thinking.
Exciting times overall.
Ending on a slight negative. What I don't understand is why a true fan would want to take more money out of the club if we ever return to the premier league - #itsallaboutthemoney for DH.

I like Him. Very direct and intentional. Think we have a good man at the helm. Only concern is he didn't mention anything about been at the 10-1 defeat to Man City...

also quite impressed with his tash game. On a par with Kroenke's that slug.

Disappointed me a bit though. No name check for duncfost01 Wait until you find out who’s directing the doc It was part of the deal - no name check - but a deal to direct the doco. The opening scene is NW in his hotel room sticking pins into a voodoo doll of me. . There will also be a sequence on Datm and why we have a ridiculous sub-board for transfers - whilst the main board is usually full of rubbish …..

Beat me to it ! "Welcome to Hudderstown" maybe ? 😄 I came to buy Aston Martin and I ended up buying a dog. Never buy anything from a pikey.

Good presser from him I thought, comes across really well.
Other than that, the main thing I took from it was that the standard of journalism is appalling.

What I don't understand is why a true fan would want to take more money out of the club if we ever return to the premier league - #itsallaboutthemoney for DH. We don't know the terms of the deal but I expect a payment on achieving a PL return would be a case of taking some money out of the club rather than taking more money out. Alternatively Hoyle could see it as writing off less of his input in that scenario but is most likely still significantly out of pocket.

Did anyone mention if the training ground is part of the club buyout?

They’re bringing back the old cine camera coverage and the same commentator that we had in the 1980’s. Going full on retro with a 4:3 screen as well…

I'd class myself as a true fan but I wouldn't want to part with £50million quid for the sake of the dreams of a load of people I don't know or care much for 😂

Talks the talk. Oggy doesn't half ask some bollocks questions though Each year Oggy gets more boring. Wouldn't mind a new commentary team to replace him and Glennon. Don't mind Glennon. But Oggy just seemed to be asking questions to try and get a bite, like basically asking who has the better fans out of Town and Sacramento

I don't recall anything been mentioned on that point but I could have missed it. Only reference was a mention of the facilities we have when he was talking about attracting academy players. Certainly not enough to know whether it was included in the deal. I hope it was personally. The less complicated our situation is the more leeway to operate the way he wants to.

Said he looked into owning an equity stake in "Aston Martin", he meant Aston Villa. Came across a bit maverick, wily fox, determined. I thought at times a little naive, bit then he talked about Man City poaching academy prospects which showed he knows his stuff. Loved he talked us being in the Prem before and basically he wants the infrastructure there that means we hopefully get promoted again and stay there. Pretty positive overall long term though don't expect too much personally on the playing side for next season. As others have said, reasonable tweaks and a little investment, but I can't see us spending millions on the playing front and that's fine by me. Just to reiterate the Manchester City point my grandson was invited to join their junior ranks at 5 years old, he was scouted from his Sunday team, that play out on Bradley Park fields, I mean, they must have eyes bloody everywhere.

If DH has indeed written millions off, he has every right to insert a clause whereby he could recover some of that, in the event the club returns to the 'promised land', assuming it's in a given timescale.

They do.......Man City fun days they are called and every other kids local football tournament going. Me and my son are off to Burnley on Sunday for a training game against their U7s. Personally I think it's to young for them to be scouted bearing in mind only 0.5% of Under-9s at “top clubs” likely to make it to the first team.

Comes over as sincere but not a fast buck type of guy. If he can generate the income we spend it etc. Not bullish like the owners of Wigan and Reading promising PL and beyond. Will do for me.

This will go down like a lead balloon, but;
I don’t hear any rhetoric that is different to when DH purchased the club way back when and in pressers since. There are a lot of similarities and in my mind, he’s been well briefed by DH.
I’m not saying this is a bad thing, at all, I’m just pointing out that we’ve heard all this before. And they clearly have more cash to deliver it.
He’s a likeable guy, but until I/we know more about the financial structure, the silent partners and their motivations, I’ll reserve my judgement and I’m not getting carried away - there’s still a lot more of this story to be told than nice sound bites, in my opinion. That’s what I hoped we’d start to hear from the club, but it was moped up.
Just an honest reflection.
[edit: although maybe he was coy given the release of the ‘Up the Town’ series and that may hold more answers / have a distinction from times gone by]
