Tony, I'm a technophobe but finally got persuaded by my kids to use twitter and it's both easy and a great means of instant communication for something like this. At some point we hope meetings can have a web linkup but for tonight it's twitter only I'm afraid

 

[Tonylinc]

OK fair enough. I'll ask my son to educate me as well. Thanks for replying.

@CJ_covblaze: SP: Some excellent young players there (Falkirk) however do not under estimate how good our young players are here

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: SP: The academy is vital for all football clubs

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: SP: Several of the most successful teams in Europe are academy based

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: NM: Thomas, Daniels ect are all excellent prospects

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: SP: WE're making the transition between U16s, U18s, U21 and first team to be easier and smoother by playing similar tactics

 

[sw88]

@SalopSkyBlue: @CJ_covblaze Hi CJ. Could you ask whether he's been given a wage budget for next year & if so, how much of a reduction is it on this years?

@CJ_covblaze: @SalopSkyBlue SP: Not as yet however this season we've had 34 players and that is far too many

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: @SalopSkyBlue SP: 34 players makes it very hard in training ect

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: @SalopSkyBlue SP: WE do not want to be 'Comfortable Coventry' next season

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: Andy Henson: It must be hard to lay foundations down when you only get 5 minutes in a management job now.

@CJ_covblaze: SP: I'm going to develop a team that's going to be good enough to push towards the Championship

@CJ_covblaze: NM: We want to lay these foundations for long after we have left

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: Moz Baker: How impressed with the support are you?

@CJ_covblaze: SP: Keep up the fantastic support!

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: Floor: How much does the FFP rules effect things?

@CJ_covblaze: SP: I've been told players will only leave for football reasons

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: Pete: Our team has no pace, are you going to bring in some quicker players?

@CJ_covblaze: SP: Vital that we have pace in the final third. We need more goals from other sources next season rather than Leon, Baker ect

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: Alex: Will the owners sell any of these young players you're trying to introduce into the squad?

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: SP: Every player has his price but we'll do our upmost to keep everyone

 

[sw88]

We have a comedian for a manager with this one......

@CJ_covblaze: SP: First pre season game is..... Barcelona

@CJ_covblaze: Only joking it's Nuneaton

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: Jan snr: Do you have an Ian Wallace to bring down here?

 

[Tonylinc]

Thanks sw for that.

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: Terry: Cody scored elsewhere on loan. Why isn't he a regular?

@CJ_covblaze: SP: I didn't call him back. We do not have the players available that suit his style. Terrific attitude and needs to improve his link play

 

[sw88]

Thanks sw for that.

No worries.

 

[sw88]

Gone a bit quiet now.....

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: @Graeme_Hawley: Who are your major influences for the way how your team plays football?

@CJ_covblaze: SP: The Spanish way of playing has influenced me heavily

(Dont particularly like this! Our league is very different to the way football can be played in Spain!!)

 

[sw88]

@Ragmantrumpet: @CJ_covblaze Ask him how Sandy Robertson is

@CJ_covblaze: SP: I don't keep in touch with Sandy. I was with him for around 9 months here. I have kept in touch with Jenkinson

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: @clare_a_bel: Where do we need to toughen up (telegraph quote)?

@CJ_covblaze: SP: to go up we have to become more resilient and have to know how to win a game 1-0 or 2-0

@clare_a_bel: @CJ_covblaze Also made reference to stronger centre backs.

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: Floor: Are you looking at the Scottish job in the future?

@CJ_covblaze: SP: Absolutely not atm! Hasn't helped the careers of many managers hast it?! It needs years of input to get the national team back up there

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: @mozccfc1987: What does SP bring to a club?

@CJ_covblaze: NM: Very focused and will work 24/7 (as will I) to get the team up there

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: Floor: Will we have to make big changes to get up next season?

@CJ_covblaze: SP: Trimming down the team from 34 players to make a much tighter group

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: Floor: If you could would you shut the CT stand to get an atmosphere similar to the JPT games?

@CJ_covblaze: SP: That's something we will have to consult with you guys and get your opinions

My opinion? I want to stay where I am

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: SP: I've loved my time here so far

Awwww!

 

[sw88]

@CJ_covblaze: Floor: Have you spoken to SISU much since your arrival?

@CJ_covblaze: SP: Yes I have and was given assurances which I hope will come into fruition

Funny how MR wanted assurances but couldn't get them......

MR probably wanted similar assurances to which he requested at Barnsley and never got either..
