Really enjoyed the interview.
Lots of positive energy and the guys winning mentality came across really well.
He seems very proud to be the owner of NFFC and his desire to succeed is there for all to see.
We really are in good hands. If there are a few manager changes along the way then so be it.
EM will take us to the PL and not only that, he will keep us there too.
Patience.

Yes saw that SR. Marinakis wants his own suite at the academy where he can hold meetings etc away from all the others.
Further development off the pitch for #nffc - planning application submitted for 'small' extension of the first team building at the Nigel Doughty Academy.
The #nffc proposal: The extension will “improve the working environment for the existing staff and… create a suite for the owner of the club to be able to conduct his private business”. The suite will allow Mr Marinakis to host guests and meetings “away from staff and players”.
The existing massage recovery area for players will also be extended. And the plans also include the building of a new changing room for academy players. #nffc
The extra space will also be used to create offices for “technical and coaching staff” who are currently sharing working areas – with particular room for scouts and the sport science office, as well as new offices for the manager and assistant manager. #nffc
So it's fair to say we won't be moving to a new training ground anytime soon then, as anticipated by many?
I thought the idea was to move to a new state of the art training facility that would virtually guarantee Category 1 status for our academy? Does anyone know if this is the case or not, or have i missed something here?

Evangelos Marinakis wants to be the ruler of the seas and will invest 1.5 Billion Euros to build 14 new huge super tankers.
You can't fault the ambition of the big man.

Interesting piece in the Post about how Marinakis and co have improved revenue coming into the club.

Sam Gordon reflects impressively the new positivity in the club. I've noticed even when contacting the ticket office just how different the attitude is compared with the Fawaz era (and before). Now you get treated as a valued customer like in a good restaurant as opposed to someone to be got rid of like in a bad chippy! I think it feels good for the future with quality people like Sam around.
