Good to hear from him, not that I was in any sort of panic mode. Barely any transfers have taken place at the majority of clubs so far, usually it takes a transfer or two further up the pyramid to get the ball rolling, and it's a World Cup year so things always take longer.
But as I said, good to hear from him, hopefully it'll shut up some of those more impatient fans. Too many millennials* grown up playing Football Manager and expecting a transfer to be achievable at the click of a few buttons, with no understanding of the complexity of negotiations nor the number of people involved (from opposing chairman to target player's estate agent). These things take time, and there are, after all, bound to be many things to consider for all parties involved.
Nice to hear his confidence in the non-playing staff and development of the new training ground, sounds like he's making some professional and sensible investments which are much needed in our bid to keep up with the modern game.
*I think I'm technically a millennial myself, and have certainly wasted an outrageous amount of my time playing that game, back from when it was still called Championship Manager, but I like to think I am at least capable of differentiating between a simulation game and the realities of sporting business.
