BBC Wilts Phone In ....

[sonicyouth]

Well spotted.

Too many exclamation marks.

I was enjoying the debate between you two and then it descended into this.

I don't blame anyone specifically but feel that whoever handed out some of these contracts we're struggling with should probably feel a bit sheepish.

Well spotted.

Very sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dr Pierre Chang]

On now.

'Numerous applicants for a very credible job in football'

'Not sure how long process will take, still receiving CV's'

'2 wins from first 3 matches and Cooper will get it'

[Dr Pierre Chang]

Jed asked about players not given squad numbers.

Club made decision at end of last season that the four weren't going to be part of the squad going forward. Decided as a group that is the squad they want to take the club forward with.

Mis-communication with Benson - Jed denies pushing him towards Oxford. Bensons agent told Jed he wanted to move on while Jed was on holiday in Jamaica in May.

[Dr Pierre Chang]

Superb first caller, 'Les', asked Jed who picks the team - claims he was told by previous manager that the board pick the team.   

Caller moaning on about Benson, Jed now claims he doesn't fit into the 'philosophy of our style of football'.

[Dr Pierre Chang]

2 signings to be announced today subject to FL approval - the trialists.

Statement re: Lee Power next Thursday.

[Dr Pierre Chang]

- Jed asked about the vacant number 9 - claims any deal for Jason Roberts is now 'dead in the water' with K-Macs departure.

- Hopes to bring one in by end of the month.

- Once the four are moved on the wage budget will be 'in line'.

- Jed has 'no idea' if they will be moved on soon.

- Asked if an effort has been made to keep Caddis as he is a leader - Jed 'agrees that he's a leader', states they discussed new contract verbally but Caddis stated desire to play in Championship.

- If he doesn't get a move then it's up to manager if he plays. Board only want players here who want to play for club and drive it forward.

- Troy's squad number, 41 - he is unhappy on Twitter says the caller - Jed said football league refused to allow the name 'Troy' on the shirt so he couldn't be a lower number.

- That number is the only one that can fit Troy's name on.

Jed explained about Caddis. He wants championship football. So is unlikely to play for us.

[Samdy Gray]

I don't get how "Archibald-Henville" fits with the number 41 but not any other? Surely the letters remain the same size...

[SuggWillSugg MBE]

I'll leave the coverage to Chang.. He's better than me.

Me neither

- Jed asked about the vacant number 9 - claims any deal for Jason Roberts is now 'dead in the water' with K-Macs departure.

Swear he didn't say either of these things!?

[tans]

What number did he have last season?

[SuggWillSugg MBE]

What number did he have last season?

Single digit wasn't it?

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

I don't get how "Archibald-Henville" fits with the number 41 but not any other? Surely the letters remain the same size...

Because they have to fit it over the top of the number in a kind of semi-circle and a 2 or 3 take up more space in that respect as opposed to a 4 which slopes away leaving a bit more space. I guess 11 would work as well but some one else had that number.

Who's the other bloke with Jed?
