You can listen to it online here. The bit about Bolton is a little over an hour in.

He talks a bit about the facilities and that he had no idea how good a player Chung-yong Lee is. He also mentions that the trial with Gudjohnsen was set up by none other than Gudni Bergsson.

Brilliant.

Such a breath of fresh air. I know it's the honeymoon period and there are many hurdles to meet yet but such a help to be positive and to have humour as well.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

This ought to keep them in line, and get them focused on the job in hand (and may also be good for team spirit).

Sound thinking. Hope it makes a difference.
Well now we know what the 'job in hand' entailed :mrgreen:
Reading back through the thread, I think the majority of us, me included, bought a pup with Lennon!

A definite negative is that his success rate with strikers is extremelly worrying.

As manager he signed Amido Balde, Teemu Pukki, Holmbert Fridjonsson, Leigh Griffiths, Miku, Lassad, Mohammed Bangura, Pawel Brozek, Gary Hooper, Daryl Murphy and Anthony Stokes.

Hooper did well. Stokes has had his moments. The rest were absolute garbage. Some didn't even score a single goal. 2 decent signings out of 11 isn't great at all.

He is far better in the defence and midfield however.
We should have heeded the warning.

Just had a nose through and I reckon I came out unscathed.

For some reason, this made me chuckle:

Season's greetings to you too, fella. :wink:

I was particularly pleased with the Taff bashing.
