got a new contract offer and the chairman or the owner was was doing interviews talking about change and it being a bittersweet day and so I think there was a lot of uncertainty rumbling into this final but so they won it on penalties and I was there on the sideline and their manager was I was gonna say is was a guy called Kevin Mayer who played 450 odd games for the club and him and his first team coach were the midfield pairing when they jumped from league two to the championship and
um so mark bentley and then and darren curry who's his assistant and they went in like they didn't it was just an amazing moment because they went in in october 2021 i think and they have faced like transfer embargoes they can sign players uh they've had points deductions they've had times i think they only had they had match day squads of 12 they were catching there was no water at the training ground so the roof was leaking and they'd have buckets underneath like catching it
um to wash the kit from like basically the recycled water or that i think mayor once drove the kit van off site um for fear of it being repossessed otherwise so these are like these are football conditions like like no other um and i just feel there was this rumbling they're ambitious the owner right and it's i'll perhaps based on their name and their fan base that they should be higher than they are but actually they've done all right they finished six and
um their budget's probably 7th to 12th in the league and but to have that moment at Wembley I could just see how much it meant to them like Bentley immediately had Meyer in this bear hug um and they were there were tears right they were all crying and they were all running over to their family and and to have that insight into how much football means to people was a real privilege um
And yeah, to see what perhaps felt inevitable that they'd then been moved on.
It just feels, I don't know, be careful what you wish for sometimes.
It'd be interesting to see how that unfolds.
