So do you have sympathy with him?

Yeah, I do, for sure.

I mean, if you look at the defensive line, obviously we had Mark Gay for half of last season before he went off to Manchester City in January and Lacroix's moved on in the summer.

And we've replaced them with Axel Desarcy on loan from Chelsea and Honest, who is technically on loan from Chelsea, although I think...

If you're going to look at it in the books, it's actually an Atalanta player who's going to Chelsea next season.

But, I mean, he is incredibly young and incredibly raw.

And Axel de Sassi, he had a good time at West Ham, as far as I can tell, but isn't looked upon as an elite centre-back.

Is that fair?

kind of i don't want to say mild-mannered but he's more of a he's not the huge rah-rah guy right or at least

I mean, he's just an even keeled dude.

He's a smart dude.

In that game last Wednesday, they were killing us with the halfback swing passes.

So then in one play in particular, I noticed when they basically stopped running them, He ran the corner blitz, but then he also followed with another corner to come pick up that running back to stop what they were doing.

So I'm like, that shows McDonald understands how to make adjustments mid-game, which is, I think, so key in the NFL because they were murdering us with Ramondre Stephenson swing passes that entire first half, and that was basically their only offense.

And...

I had no idea he was

You're going to start seeing, you know, even if they don't try it out in, you know, your specific deposition or litigation, trying to to create what the standard is and then try to use that against you.

Yeah, I could speak to another way in which we've seen them go about it, and it's likely to become more pronounced.

For those underwriters, and there's a limited number of them that offer true broker liability coverage.

I'm not talking about just simply contingent coverage, but broker liability coverage.

There are carrier qualification standards that are pretty generally accepted and And so by virtue of the underwriting process, we have refined over the last several years kind of some basic standards.

It's kind of like it equates to today if you want to get cyber liability insurance, you have to have dual authentication.

Now, there's nowhere in the federal regulation that requires anyone to do such a thing.

So do you think there will be any new products emerging on the insurance side for this? Any thoughts there yet?

Where does SolarStone fit in that model? Definitely.

And I'll sort of bifurcate this because there's – given the oversupply of renewables projects and how many of them are on the grid – It makes sense that, you know, the average data center is going to be technology agnostic, right? I mean, that's, at the end of the day, those clients have their own, those users have their own requirements.

And, you know, they don't always have the leeway to be preferencing certain technologies, apart from maybe a few that are... trying to sort of virtually offset their exposure or manage their carbon and emissions.

But there's two ways to think about this.

When we look at the average solar project, obviously we're not able to ourselves power a full data center for 24-7 or high up times, which is my understanding of what these facilities require.

And even solar plus storage won't accomplish that either.

We can talk about long-duration storage, and it's being piloted.

um and you see arrays out there so so what and certainly on the west coast so can you talk me through what does your project look like what does a project look like and then who's your end user who who are you signing a contract with

What about you?

Yeah, I think overall I'd be confident that we'll do it on our terms, and I think if we sell Anderson for the, the numbers that are being rumored, we won't need to do the other business to, to meet any deadlines and, and PSR.

So in that respect, I think we'll have control over what we do.

Um, I can see there being offers for Nico Williams almost as the, the second most likely behind Anderson, just because of his versatility and his, his experience now in, in a level that I think he can kick on and, and do a job in a squad for a, you know, a, a team in the Champions League, and he, he ticks a lot of boxes in that respect.

So I think we might get tested for him, uh, with some pretty s- you know, sizable bids.

Uh, 30 million-plus, which would double our, double our money on him.

Uh, maybe, and there might be a decision to be made there.
