Made me laugh the first question was from a bloody Burton fan :lol:

It's a good watch though so far! Both speak really well

A good watch and shows the club is about where I thought it was. I think the explanation around Cooke, Maynard and even Knowles was well put and the correct decisions were made.

Nigel would appear to be going to give Jimmy a pre-season to stake a claim and isn’t just going to send him out again without a fair assessment which has to be the best way for all parties.

It’s good to hear the pitch issues will be sorted not just at the mill but on the training pitches and I get the impression this is to ensure we practice on good surfaces as well.

A target of around seven new players is probably about right to sort out the areas needing improvement and should see us right up there.

Great video. Not as cringey as I thought it was going to be.

A few remarks from the two gents that resonated. They said we might not get there (promotion) overnight. You don't get anywhere chopping and changing. And, that the aim is still very much to go up.

I think Stevo was a very good compare too.
You've got to go there and come back, to know where you've been.

A key word used in this presentation was patience, which is alien to many at Field Mill.

I've transcribed a few bits for the Stagsnet news archive (bits that were not already written up by the CHAD)

Here they are for anyone not able to watch the video:

Nigel Clough on Jimmy Knowles:
"In terms of Jimmy Knowles, I went to see him play for Notts County in the FA Trophy at Stockport. We had a discussion around him and didn't think that he was up to the standard at the moment that we were looking for.
"We've got Jamie Reid that we're absolutely delighted with, Jordan Bowery, we've brought Oli Sarkic in on loan who's unfortunately had a few niggles. We've got Tyrese Sinclair.
"I think the best place for Jimmy to be for his development is at Notts County. And he'll come back pre-season and we'll have good look at him from there."

Nigel Clough on Gary Crosby:
"Gary takes care of an awful lot of things that most people don't see. Organisational wise and things like that.
"It's a bit unusual, but he goes out watching games on a Saturday. So there's myself and first team coach Andy Garner who goes upstairs and sits a few rows back to get a different perspective.
"Gary's talents are best-used out on the road on a matchday watching games. He aids the recruitment massively. He watches our games back. He's obviously in training during the week.
"And then he can get a different view as well. Before the Cheltenham game, he was the one who came in on Monday mornihg and said shall we change formation and try something different which we did, which worked.
"And sometimes from sitting back you get a bit better perspective for that sort of thing. Absolutely vital rle that he takes on."

David Sharpe on the January transfer window:
"What we didn't want to do was start throwing money away chasing a dream of the play-offs and not be realistic about things.
"We managed to save ... we're better financially after the window. Cook and Maynard have gone and we've got a good wage recovery on them."

Nigel Clough on squad size for next season:
"We think we've got the nucleus of a good squad. We're talking about bringing in the region of 5, 6, 7 players, something like that, just to bolster it.
"We've always worked on the lines of 16, 17 senior outfield players, 3 goalkeepers, and 2 or 3 youngsters on top of that."

Nigel Clough on having a long throw specialist:
"It seems most teams in our division do have someone with a long throw. We wouldn't sign a player just because he has a long throw. But we asked the players among the squad is there anybody who can throw it in there.
"It is a specialist skill to get it right in there into the six-yard box. So if we can get a player who has that ability then that's brilliant and we will use it.
"If not, we will get the one who can throw it in, usually from a full back into the near post area.
"James Perch thought he had [the longest throw], but then he didn't reach the penalty area a couple of times. Tyrese was practising then when we were preparing for the Cheltenham game. He was throwing a few in there.
"Mal can throw it quite far down the line, and Kellan Gordon. But there's not many players with the Tozer at Cheltenham, with that absolute missile. And you don't want to rely on it too heavily. You just want it as an option sometimes."

a few more bits:


David Sharpe on whether iFollow live streaming stays in place after the pandemic is over and things are back to normal:
"Unfortunately that's out of our control to a degree, it's up to EFL and the Government ultimately in terms of if away supporters can go to games.
"Hopefully it stays in place because it's a great service for people who aren't local to the area and struggle to get to away games or home games. But there's not much I can commit to until we know about the return of fans, and away fans."

David Sharpe on full match radio commentary:
"Hopefully from next season, when things are back to normal ... we all hope ... there should be full match commentary.
Mark Stevenson adds:
"Mansfield 103.2 were given the rights to do home commentary, and that's because the iFollow subscriptions are really significant to the club in terms of finance away from home.
"So the chairman did grant Mansfield 103.2 to do home commentary. However they decided to not utilise that option so the club could earn more money overall on the iFollow service."

Some of the questions could have been grouped together to avoid repetition but it was an enjoyable watch. Well done to all involved.

It looked very cold. Someone needed to pop out and buy them all a warm drink
