- Explains the Paddy Power sponsorship and the FA Fine.

- Advises why David Webb is the right man to drive the football operations.

- Provides his take on the Pre Season form and why we couldn't replicate it in the league.

- Says why Jan was the right man at the wrong time.

- Answers your questions on transfers and provides more details on why certain players were sold.

- On how his family struggled with some of the comments on Social Media.

- Clarifies how the manager search was conducted and how The Cowleys were always #1.

- Reveals what the future has in store.


Thank you to everyone who sent in questions to ask. Apologies if we couldn't get round to yours if it wasn't read, although Phil candidly answered many of them without being prompted.


Another thanks to Dave Threlfall-Sykes for organising this and of course to Phil for travelling over to partake.
