He's a lawyer from the US and I think he's very new.
He only took over the club two weeks before lockdown, which...
Timing-wise, it couldn't have gone better for us as a club, but it couldn't have gone worse for him.
But he believes that everything's behind closed doors and keep your cards close to your chest.
So, yeah, we didn't want to get involved in anything publicly.
There's some huge decisions to be made with a lot of pressure.
This is life and death, and that's pressure for people.
