Chris Davies first interview

[Kipper SOTV]

[nobbynomad]

That’s a great first interview. Clear and very assured.
He’s also appears really thrilled and excited to be here.

I think the Football Leadership Team have made a great appointment here.

💙🤍

A very impressive interview .

CD came across as confident, self assured and driven .


NB He mentions a number of times about players and their behaviour both on the pitch and off the pitch . I sense an iron fist in a velvet glove !

[bignumbernine]

Well he’s an excellent speaker. Good start.

[BluenoseB]

Great interview and is very precise and clear on what he wants to implement and how to deliver it. Also about being dynamic.

As the post said above by vendee will set what he wants from the pkayers on and off the pitch, and i expect if any dont toe the line in that respect their be out the door. And also.about being pressure in training (dembele) so their ready for matchdays.

Cant help but feel encouraged by that and comes across really well especially with the type of team and footbsll he wants to deliver.

One thing i did notice didnt exactly big the talent up already in the squad so barring a few dont expect to see alot remain if we can shift alot of them on....good riddance. Quite a few of them dont deserve to be on our new journey.

Very impressive young man. I am so excited, I am off to polish the pig and feed the bus💙💙💙💙💙

[bruminoz]

Not sure if it’s just me, but he reminds me of Sir Trevor, both vocally and facially

If I were Sanderson, I'd be asking if that was aimed at me. 😄

[gammo]

What got my attention was the comment about the recruitment team. As theorised, it looks like they have been and still are working on deals so some of these names we've been hearing or reading about could be happening.

[TILTON]

All the buzz words are curtains for Sanderson he can’t play that quick or with intensity.

Bielik will need to be developed into the Dunk type quarter back role.

If you watch Brighton everything stems through him.

Bacuna I am not sure he will fit or Buchanan as it’s all about passing and moving. They could convert but it’s gonna be tough for them.

I would say 7 new players is the bare minimum.

[bubba]

Really think we'll be seeing 14+ new players and we will have players leave. We're already down 10 players from last season and presuming Ruddy will soon make it 11 that's without factoring in any players who want out and any we'd like to push out, 14+ take it to the bank.

Very reassuring interview, seems very driven and knows exactly what he wants and demands from others.  As a blues fan it's very  very weird going into a season with this sense of supreme confidence,  especially before we've signed anyone, is ths why glory hunters choose to be glory hunters?

[jaystan]

Sounds really switched on and has an agenda.

Onwards and upwards!

Yup. I was telling my Blues mates months ago I could see 12 new players coming in. They all thought I was crazy. 

You just had to look at the contract situation together with 5 loan players to see the situation that was heading our way this summer. You could also see the issues regarding the effect on performance of the squad.

Its going to be busy and very interesting this transfer window. 

[dutchblue]

This guy looks and sounds the business. Exactly the type/profile of coach I was hoping for.
I am really very optimistic now and extremely happy with this appointment. Well done Blues.

Feels like 8 summer signings is the minimum, but not surprised when it’s almost clean slate time and we bring in 12-14.
Exciting times ahead 😃

A few of them have already been moved on..From Ruddy's interview he doesn't come across as committed. I do question the poor attitudes of Dembele and Sanderson. If they don't want to be here then we need to get rid. I suspect a few like Bielik will want out and not play in league 1.

I was waiting for this post 😄😄😄

I blow my own trumpet when right but never mug others off when they're wrong,  the rough with the smooth.

You wasn't the only one. It was simple maths coupled with demand to build a squad. As I said, the disbelievers should hang their heads in shame. But go on, blow the trumpet 😂

Yes I was,  nobody else said 14 or more,  a couple said 12,  if memory serves,  nobody went as high as 14 plus,  I've given my proof,  your turn.

I have to say I thought I had at least endorsed your comments (I was maybe dreaming 🥴). I assumed that as we had had a small squad last season losing 14 minus Oakley and Juke equalling 12. We knew that Pilchard and JJ were going together with Bacuna and Longelo that's already 16.
As the number of fourteen was being mentioned I thought there were some talking about 7/8 inbound!!
Bubba for King 😁🤣.

[bertieauld]

Yes I said 12, fair play bubs

[bluesfan22]

too bad it’s been 12 pure crap signings

Like the £50 million you’ve massively overspent on the lad from Everton.

Yes in the spirit of a lot of signings you agreed as did one other and you could say those saying 12 weren't exactly miles off,  but I was refuting choc's claim that I wasn't the only one saying specifically 14 or more,  I was.

Regrdiing those thinking 7/8 at least a couple were more like 5 or 6,  which was always hard to fathom.

PS

I don't do monarchies but I'll take a Presidency.

I'm still waiting for Ollie Burke to come back at 2259 on Friday night 😲🫣

I said minimum of 12 then depending on who else deciding to leave. At least 12 went early doors,  so it was simple maths to me.

[bubba]

12 plus not 14 plus is it?

Gloating is not nice Mr Pres🤣🤣🤣
