Good morning.
Absolutely.
I mean, this crisis took a real personal toll on all of us with the passing of Norman, because not only was he a true great for Leeds United and a true great of the game, but he was also a friend and colleague for everybody at Leeds United.
He was still in the club on a weekly basis.
He came to every game.
He was still passionate about following Leeds United's fortunes, always had time for staff and players and wanted to help them with his advice and perspective.
So I think the least we could do was name the stand after him.
And he's in great company because the other stands are Don Revy and John Charles.
So it shows the level of esteem everybody here at Leeds holds him in.
Well, I mean, our primary objective throughout this crisis has been the health and safety of our players and staff.
So that's been at the forefront of our minds and of our actions.
We then look to try and focus on the financial continuity of the business and keeping everybody in employment.
You know, we have 200 full-time staff and 2,000 part-time staff.
So that's been very important.
And then the third thing has really been about
trying to focus on seeing whether we can find a safe way to return to play.
The priority has to be that it's safe to do so.
It has to be safe for the players.
But we think it's the right thing to do in the long term, that when the time is right to return to football,
the first thing we do is we finish the business of last season, maintain the integrity of the league.
