Thank you for your comment Tony. There used to be an interview with the new manager shortly after the announcement however the club do seem to be doing things differently this time around, which I’ve been quite impressed with. I’m sure we will see an interview with Chris over the next few days. KRO

Thank you for your comment Paddy. There were a lot of names linked with the manager’s job in the media but Chris Davies was not one of them. I really think this is a good appointment and I also like the way the club have dealt with the whole process. KRO

Thank you for your comment Ricky. As you point out, hopefully we can start to build a competitive team within this transfer window and move the club on in the right direction. KRO

Thank you for your comment Richard. Absolutely great appointment and I’m sure we will all now back Chris. KRO

Thanks for commenting, alway appreciated! That is a very good point that we didn't think to mention to be fair. Players contracts play a massive role in value and the decisions behind the scenes. Thanks for mentioning this :) Very best, KRO!

We aint getting £5-£8m for Bacuna 😂😂😂😂

Thank you so much, James! We always value the input from Blues fans. We see this as a community podcast and love getting the interaction so we're thankful that it's bringing insights and enjoyability. Very best, KRO!

Thank you so much for the kinds words mate, we really appreciate it! Very best, KRO!

Thanks, Richard! Interesting insights so thanks for taking the time to type this all out :) After the disaster on the pitch last season, I do agree that certain players owe this club and our fans a good season and some respect after last year however I don't want a single person here who isn't willing to play at that level or not fight for the badge. We had enough of this last season so for me this ends now. The manager appointment is a perfect time as he can make some decisions, set his own culture and put the hammer down early so that rubbish attitudes won't be tolerated and you can see the door. I think we need someone who isn't scared to call these boys out and tell them how it is. If you listen to Ruddy's interview on the Fozcast we clearly had too many passengers and a lack of passion. I think a lot of players will leave and a lot will come through the door. Now the manager is in place we already have ST prices and transfer rumours so I believe things will start to move into motion very quickly and we can gear up for a really exciting summer and re-build. I agree about JJ and sadly possibly Bielek. They will have a decent amount of interest sniffing around. Dembele could do some damage but I don't think he will hang around, to be honest. Sight arrogance there and thinks he is possibly too good for this level. If he isn't willing to do the dirty side of the game then to be honest he will do more damage than good anyway. Dad often calls him and Bacuna "Neutral players" as they cancel out the good work with sloppiness and laziness. Thanks again Richard, KRO! :)

Thank you for your comment Chris and we are pleased you enjoy our podcasts. Now that the new manager is in place it will be interesting to see who stay and who goes. I suspect that Chris will assess the squad and decide on which players fit his philosophy in terms of playing style. The players character and attitudes also need to be assessed and this is where I see quite a few coming under the spotlight. OIf course there will also be those who want to leave so we are likely to see a massive turnover over players in this window which to be honest is exactly what is needed. KRO

Do you think juke will offer much this season?? He offered nothing last season and he is blowing two minutes after coming on. He gives fouls galore away. Past his best two seasons ago. Waste of money renewing his contract

Thank you so much for your kind comment which is greatly appreciated. KRO

Thank you for your comment. It would be worth giving Longelo a more advanced role and see how he gets on. He is vulnerable as a left back so it would be good to see him used in a different way. KRO

Totally agree! Thanks for commenting again, KRO!

Thanks for commenting! :) I do agree and I think he will be sold this summer. Not a fan of his attitude either and this can ripple throughout the team. Very best, KRO!

Thank you for your comment and we are pleased you enjoyed the podcast. Now that we have the new manager in place it will be interesting to see which players he wants to keep as well seeing which players want to leave regardless. KRO

Thank you for your comment. It will be interesting to see who stays and who goes now that the new manager is in place. KRO

Thank you for your comment. I’m pleased we have appointed a young manager as we needed a proper refresh. I think he is exactly what we need at this time. Yes, listened to the podcast with John Ruddy and it provides a real insight into the mentality of the players last season and some of the reasons why we were relegated. Hopefully we can learn from this when we are recruiting in this transfer window. KRO

Thanks Paul! We will be and excited to renew next week :) Very best, KRO!

Thanks Andrew! I think a decent amount of the fanbase would agree with that sentiment. Thanks for the kind words, KRO!

Thanks for commenting! :) It wasn't a video based on every single player it was a video based on who we felt were 'at risk'. Originally it was 8 but then I threw 2 additional players in as well. Young players are relatively low risk as a lot signed new contracts and like to grow with us before moving on and I also don't think Pritchard would be as he only came in January however good shout now actually you've made me think about it. He might want to force an exit I guess but he hasn't showed all that much since joining. Very best, KRO!

Thanks Charley! :) Fair comment and from what I hear, read and speak with people about, a lot of fans would agree with starting fresh. The 2 for me would be Bielek and Buchanan as must keeps and also Miyoshi and Laird would be nice to keep. That is of course only pending their attitude is good and they actually want to stay and play here. If anyone has a bad attitude or feels forced to stay here, get them gone immediately. Thanks again, KRO!

Thanks for commenting :) He is the new first team manager mate. Very best, KRO!

Thanks, Alan! :) I totally agree the spine of the team is going to be absolutely crucial to our success going into League 1. Longstaff is getting a lot of attention online. Clearly a goal-scoring machine! at £1.5 million I would argue that is surely worth the punt? "Polish Messi" made me chuckle. I agree, we have missed that great feeling of having a goal scorer or watching goals fly on. We have been a back-footed team for far too long. This is going to change next season I'm sure. Exciting times ahead :) Thanks for the kind words, KRO!

Thanks for such a nice comment, greatly appreciated. We love the club and the fans so the fact we get to do this channel and create content really is special for us. Long may it continue. If people enjoy it we will keep going :) It's funny you ask that, we have probably had this same question about 10ish times over the past few weeks but sadly between work, family life and the Blues podcast anything England would kill us off 😂 If it's any consolation we will be continuing to do blues content and average 3-4 videos a week! Thanks again, KRO!

Thanks, Kevin! :) Number 6 made me laugh as I thought exactly the same when I was listening to it. I appreciated the honesty and it was a great listen but it didn't scream an interview from someone who wanted to say or progress at the club. Thanks again, KRO!

Thanks, Damian :) These are just the figures being banded around. It's the same with JJ, I don't think he is near £10 million either to be honest! I mean on the other side of the spectrum, £500K is ridiculous as well. I would rather keep him than let him go for that. This was a false link / made-up rumour to do with Coventry I believe. I don't think £2-3 million is out of the question for someone like Bacuna, he is certainly a good player that will attract a decent club. Very best, KRO!

Greedy player and an individual not a team player like Dembele also. Too many hit n miss performances. Shoots when he should pass and tried to be a one man band. You’ll be lucky to get £800k for bacuna

Thanks, Mark! Inclined to agree. Me and dad are split on Sanderson but I certainly wouldn't lose any sleep over selling him :) Very best, KRO!

@@SmallHeathAllianceFC we need a Joe Gallagher/Liam Daish type powerhouse and a Colin Todd pacy type .

Absolutely Harvey! Ruddy's podcast really hit home your comment for me. We will need you to get your crystal ball out over the summer and give us the inside track on transfers. It came in handy during the back end of last season :) Very best, KRO!

Thanks Paul! Welcome to the channel and we hope you enjoy our content moving forward. We averagely post 3 -4 videos a week. Thanks for the kind words, KRO!

Thanks for commenting Kevin! I have just seen it as well. We sit in the Upper Tilton so we can expect a £10 rise per ST. I was expecting a freeze but thankfully we can stomach this. I heard a tragic story from a Wolves fan on social media yesterday where him and his son have been completely out-priced over the past 5 years. It was really sad to read. Especially as I relate to this going down as dad and son to the blues. Hopefully this £15 million investment will make it all worth it with a better match-day experience. Very best, KRO!

@@SmallHeathAllianceFCyeah seen that 135% price increase for under 16? Yeah I can’t see fans paying this price for league 1 football. Especially after Huddersfield price were shown…think they’ve shot themselves in the foot here..

Couldn't agree more John! Jay Stansfield's energy and worth ethic were insane if we had 11 of him over the pitch we would have won lots of games through desire and passion alone. As you say, let's only keep those who are committed and use this as a chance to start fresh and build back up :) Very best, KRO!

Thanks Neil! (KROKiwi 🙂) We did record this last week before my dads holiday and it's a good question in regards to the new manager coming in. I still stand by a lot of the opinions even with the new appointment. If they don't show passion, desire and want to fight for the badge then get them gone. The time for bad attitudes and lack of fight is over. The new manager has a chance to carve this out immediately. We definitely had an attitude problem last season. Not sure if you have had the chance to listen to Ruddy's interview on Fozcast but it's really insightful and highlights a few key things like this! Very best, KRO!

Thanks Robert, really appreciate the kind words! Very best, KRO!
