Transcript

00:00 John Murtagh's departure this week, Eric, can I just ask you,

00:03 I know that there is a structure in place now that he has moved on,

00:07 how that will impact your plans and your thoughts and your ideas

00:11 for the remainder of this season, but also going forward into the new season as well?

00:15 I think you mentioned that something happened in the new season,

00:19 it's very important that the new ownership is working on this,

00:25 to replace and function, to go into the new season.

00:32 For the moment, of course, I miss his support,

00:36 and now the surround board, you miss that.

00:40 But he moved on, there have been made choices,

00:46 so we work very well together,

00:50 so I have to say thank you to John and I wish him all the best for the future.

00:56 You say you miss his support and obviously you work closely with him,

01:00 but putting your own plans in place as well, does it impact at all on what you want to do?

01:06 No, for me, as I said previously, I also work with the new ownership very well,

01:12 and closely together, and that will not change,

01:16 it doesn't have an impact on the way I can work here.

01:20 Conditions were perfect and are still perfect, so I'm happy with that.

01:26 But we want to set the right conditions to be successful.
