He may have hidden it, by saying it in code.......he did mention Graham more than once!

He appealed to them once upon a time, lives locally and is a known quantity. They will know what they're getting, and so will many of the players, so he would represent less risk than going with someone else.
If they are worried he will bugger off again, they can tie him in contractually.

Keep seeing this 'lives locally' shit. Oh, that's the clincher then, best re-appoint him! About as sane as giving 63 year old James Milner a year's contract extension on account of him speaking passable Spanish and asking him to play surrogate father to a bunch of cocky South American kiddies. Sake!

My Dad used to live in Preston Park, and caught the train up to London for 26 years. He drummed into me, 'live near your work'. If Potter hadn't been tempted by Chelsea's pieces of silver, he might have still been here. Living locally is not a clincher, but it might be a factor if all the other factors are in favour.Keep seeing this 'lives locally' shit. Oh, that's the clincher then, best re-appoint him!

Can I put you down as 'fence' if he moves away?

Think the word Chris came out too so it's Chris Wilder surely?
Yes, but I think Chris was mentioned just the once. He didn't mention Sami or Pep at all, there were many clues in there.
Having spent many years in the corporate world these interviews remind me so much of time and time again when attending a conference senior colleagues giving what was a brilliant talk . Very senior people then tell me how lucky I am to work with that person and not aware they perform poorly on a day to day basis. So many of these people go from senior job to senior job and survive for a while because they talk a good game.
Apart from ability to talk sure no similarities with PB but have to say PB is as good as anybody in front of a mic and perhaps the reason we are darlings of media for last couple of years. As he usualy tells us nothing perhaps more like a politician than a businessman
Managed to put over De Zerbi parting as a near love in when we know they were in complete disagreement on how club should go forward and only mutual thing was an agreement between them to end contract early together with agreemt that neither spoke about reasons why.
I can just imagine PB seeing 8/9 DeZerbi staff walking down tunnel at end of game would be thinking of the imediate savings

He didn’t mention Sami, no.
He said Roberto built on Graham’s good work, and Graham built on Chris’ good work.
Then he stopped.

It's like listening to an MP. It was a pointless presser 
Yes, it was very clever of the Barber lad by squeezing in two Grahams so close together, this means only one thing...he likes Graham!He didn’t mention Sami, no.
He said Roberto built on Graham’s good work, and Graham built on Chris’ good work.
Then he stopped.

Mark McGhee lives equally locally, that's all I'm saying...

So does Debbie McGee, but she's not in the running either.
Some people won't be satisfied till we have someone colourful as CEO. Someone like Boris Johnson or this bloke:
Drunk salon owner abused cops as she was taken off Ryanair flight
The pilot had requested police assistance ahead of the flight landing due to the pair's drunken behaviour during the trip

Confirming the Napoli offer….desire to keep Billy……….usual comments re Gross nothing new learnt
Usual set of very polished, non-committal answers to questions. Love the way he answers fully without actually giving anything away at all (his response to 'do you think Potter would make a good England manager' was a brilliant example).
