and a little more
Actually having just started to type my notes and got to the second question and realised I am already on a full page of A4 I really can't be arsed - the above posted sums things up in such a concise manner.
Main points: Cullum never offered anything and in fact sent writen confirmation this week that he never would. The deal is dead in the water (if ther ever was one).
GR came over as very confrontational from the off. Was heckled on a number of occasions with accusations of him being egotistical, arrogant and sarcastic. He did apologise at the end. And did invite one critic to Colney to watch training and to bring a guest for a meal afterwards.
On Huckerby he stated his reasons for not renewing his deal (ie: he felt he was too old and part of past failures and that Bell & Hoolihan would be the future). On the way it was handled he admitted it was a mistake but looked to make amends by asking Hucks to come back for a send off before/after a home game in the near future.
On re-election of Munby, he seemd to get 98% of the vote (at a guess). Doncaster got around 90%.
GR heaviliy criticised the state of scouting on his arrival and said it's been overhauled completely.
Delia said she is going back to work at age of 67 to fund the ?3M shortfall in the accounts.
On Archibald-Henville - he said he wasn't ready for Championship football and made a mistake signing him, hence sending him back.
GR remains convinced the squad will click, we'll move into top half of table and be in a position to further rebuild next summer and the summer after that - it can't all be done in one close season, hence large number of loans.
There was a lot more, but nothing of any real note. Despite a few heckles it was still a relatively tame affair (to be expected when the majority in attendance were 60 and over!).
