Celta Chairman Speaks Out After Long Hiatus
Celta Vigo chairman Dale Henderson hosted a press conference today after a long hiatus from speaking to any press or dealing with the day to day running of the club. Here are the highlights from the press conference.
Reporter " So Dale can you explain your hiatus?"
Dale " Well there are a few reasons I have been settling into to life in Spain and went off on a few fishing trips and decided to buy a few restaurants and some property around the city. Also having to deal with you press vultures is annoying, was it Cantona who said the seagulls are never far from the trawler?"
Reporter " What do you make of your league campaign so far?"
Dale "It could not have gone any better we are one point behind Barcelona with 9 winnable games left and have a Spanish cup final against Real to deal with aswell, we have definitely upset the apple cart this season as no one expected this from us. We just got on with our business quietly in the summer signing 5 Spanish lads and then I have jut left Pocchetino to it the money is there if he chooses to spend it but he has chosen not to. Hopefully we can hold on for Champions league place or you never know the title.
Reporter " what are your plans for next season?"
Dale " Just to maintain really it is essential we hold on to the Champions League berth and get that income coming in regularly, there won't be wholesale changes in the summer a few will leave a few will come in I have identified a couple of targets but we will just wait and see the transfer market is a crazy place these days.
Reporter " which players have stood out for you this season?"
Dale " Bentekkers has been on fire and if he had stayed fit who knows what would have happened but 12 goals in 17 matches is a good return in anyone's book, Also Muniain has beeen sensational we are going to miss him for the last few weeks but Sterling is fit so hopefully a big few matches from him will see us over the line also Heitinga has put in some real commanding performances at the back too."
Reporter " What did you make of the chairman spat?"
Dale " I thought it was funny as ****, that will be all for today got important work related stuff to do speak to you at the end of the season."
