Interesting interview with KR on ifollow.
Training Ground
- Owners investing heavily in the training ground over the close season. With improved Gym and 2 further "state of the art" pitches to be installed.
Staff
- A Head of Performance has been appointed part-time to bring all the sports science side of things under one umbrella across the club (1st team, academy and women)
- A replacement for Chris Short has been appointed and is someone who has worked in the MLS and Aussie Rules.
- KR feels they are both step-ups as part of the focus of constant improvement.
Players
- We know who we want player wise and have some meetings with some of those in coming days.
- Power up top and wide, full backs. 2 or 3 wingers (of course!)
- Rob Hall has been told if he doesn't find a club, then we will find something for him and allow him to go out on loan (being discussed within the retained list thread)
Pre-Season
- Spain still booked for pre season and if we go, there will be games v Gibraltar* and Plymouth. We won't go if it remains an Amber country in terms of Covid (22nd June decision)
- Plan B exists, so we essentially have 2 pre-season schedules ready to roll.
* - I assume he means a select team from the Gibraltar league or a club side, rather than their national side.
