Reporter: First of all Ian, welcome back!​

Ian: Thank you, it's a great feeling being back where was my home in the 90's!​

Reporter: What will your aims be for the club?​

Ian: Well, we haven't won anything since the FA Cup in 2005 so my priority is to get the silverware back.​

Reporter: Will you be bringing any new players or any backroom staff here with you?​

Ian: I haven't had time to talk about those stuff but I can guarantee that there won't be any changes to the staff!​

Reporter: What positions would you like to strengthen?​

Ian: As I said, I haven't talked or assessed the players yet but from a fan's point of view, they need a new Goalkeeper. I'd also like to add that my assistant Pat Rice will be taking the friendlies as I will be looking and scouting for transfer targets!​

Reporter: Thanks Ian & good luck at your post!​
