- Taking place in front of a sellout crowd in the Caroline Hand Executive Suite
Closing statements from the owners saying how privileged they all are. Last words from Darragh ‘Trust the ******** process’ Marvellous.
That’s a wrap well done Phil Adlam and the panel. A bit of a love-in to be honest. Those Saturday night critics must have stayed at home, as did I obviously.
What other events at new stadium. 250-300 day event stadium, conferences, weddings, boxing, UFc anything that makes money.
Social media accounts of players have been scanned to make sure no other dodgy comments will surface
Jason says his wife calls Harrison Burrows ‘the son she never had.’
Darragh’s favourite Posh player is Lee Tomlin and Jason says Ivan Toney. Randy was/is a Newcastle a fan and loved meeting Steven Taylor.
Fergie’s 500th game as manager. Draws applause. Would have been 700 if Darragh hadn’t kept sacking in him says Chris Abbott. Co-owners paying tribute. Randy says he’s bullet proof. All in the PT and online.
Does scouting take place abroad? It will next summer if Posh still in Championship.
10 minutes to go now
Darraghh convinced JCH will come good at this level. They will look at recruiting a different physical striker in January if manager desires.
Bournemouth game on January 3 not on Sky. Other Bournemouth games are on Sky hence the move to playing Posh on a Monday night.
iFollow question. Going okay 3-4k watching last season. Randy believes watching at home and at stadium are two different experiences. He wants games to be broadcast at 3pm and the club should run it and benefit from it. Randy is working on a Posh interactive streaming service to include stats/player info. iFollow being ditched by Posh in January.
Darragh values the club at £36 million. Debt free, top-40 club an hour from London, one promotion from the best league and richest league in the world, new stadium, valuable playing squad with potential to grow.
Best thing about owning Posh? Randy just loves the business. Jason loves the supporters and the affinity he has with them, and the club’s staff. Darragh loves the feeling/routine after a win.
Dembele question. He isn’t going to sign. He is not interested and Darragh understands. All covered in the PT and online last week. Darragh says he will find the next Dembele
Favourite Posh goal asks a young fan. Jason goes for Toney’s goal re Pompey. Jason is a Southampton man. Randy says first goal in Championship got him running around the kitchen at home. Darragh JCH pen v Lincoln because of the magnitude.
Bournemouth away match moved to Monday night January 3 which has ruined plans to take team to Dubai for mid winter break. Live on Sky probably
