00:00Regards to compensation, I think the way I read it and from bits I've heard,
00:07I get the impression, should Aubien deem someone the, you know,
00:12whatever the data says, whatever they feel from interviews and stuff,
00:15the man they want, I could see them going and paying what would be required.
00:23Now, listen, I don't know what would be required.
00:25There'd be a world where the fee that a parent club would want
00:29is too much, I'm sure.
00:33Don't know the contracts, don't know the inside outs of that.
00:36So it's hard to say.
00:37But what did Aubien Bank have reported as far as we understand?
00:41Was it two and a half million for Corbran to Valencia?
00:44And Corbran had a fair chunk left on his time, didn't he?
00:47So it's funny, isn't it?
00:50Because, and it's different, you know, people say, well,
00:56Isaac Price costs two million, north of two million in January.
01:00Tammy Abani costs north of three million in January.
01:03And, you know, they may be the case, but I don't necessarily think it's that black
01:09and white, that straightforward when it comes to, you know,
01:12and I think, so what's two million pounds compensation for a manager,
01:16for a head coach?
01:17But look, I can't speak on behalf of Bill,
01:18but I don't know how those finances specify and differ.
01:23But, yeah, look, I think it makes sense that the club would,
01:31first of all, mostly be looking at those that aren't currently in work.
01:34But I think this period of time, time around the season,
01:39you know, and we're talking continent-wise here, European-wise,
01:42maybe further, it's a time where jobs change, isn't it?
01:46People leave, things freshen up, all of that.
01:50So I think the club at least have got themselves in a good time
01:53where they can just see for a couple of weeks, maybe further into May,
01:59you know, oh, so-and-so's finishing at, you know, Club X this summer
02:04and we quite like him.
02:05The data kind of points at him.
02:07And maybe a free, quote-unquote, free appointment is always preferable, maybe.
02:16But, look, if Bilko were here to answer the question now
02:19that we're talking about, I'm pretty sure they would say,
02:21yeah, if he's our man and he would cost one million or two million,
02:26we'd not have a problem of paying it, you know.
