The biggest attraction was the Premier League.
But after that, you know, where and who are Bolton Wanderers?
So we did a bit on the history and stuff like that, the stadium, which is fabulous.
And it's an iconic stadium, even though it only holds 28,000.
It's an absolutely brilliant stadium.
So that was where we went and sold it.
So we sort of sold that.
And I suppose in many ways I had to sell myself to them.
And of course, being the Premier League, that's a big attraction as well.
The manager, yeah.
Well, we talked about that when we got rid of all the agents and they could talk about the contract and the money.
We would talk one-on-one about, you know, at the end of the day, we're going to get an impression of whether you like me or I like you, and if we've got that good impression and we think we can work together, then...
you know, let's go forward and let's sign the contract, like you mean.
So, like I said, and Uri was a big part in speaking to other players.
So if we wanted JJ or Fernando Hierro, they might pick the phone up to Uri and say, what's it like at Bolton?
And Uri being positive from our point of view helped us get that quality of play, like you mean.
Go on.
At the moment, I'd have to say no to that one.
But I had a fantastic time.
I was there and the fans were absolutely outstanding with me.
