DAY JOB IS PRIORITY OVER ACADEMY WORK

WE have a new academy director, John Pemberton, who’s joined us from Swindon Town. I get a report on my desk every Monday morning, updating me on the individual academy players’ development. But I’ll be telling John that I won’t be directly involved in the academy. In this job, you need to know what work not to do as well as what to do. For me, everything is about turning this position around.
