And I think in those types of signings, he's got it right.
48:06
Yeah, I completely agree and I think it links to the what we talk about, and Artel talks about it a lot in terms of ruthlessness as well.
48:17
It's being able to bring that, which I think in previous seasons we've missed.
48:24
We are getting better at it, but like you said, it's the sort of mould of player that he wants to bring in that will do as you said and will get around the pitch.
48:37
you know, won't be one of those that David Artelli's yelling out on the sidelines saying move or run, which he has done in the past.
48:43
You know, I sit quite near the bench.
48:45
You often hear him shouting move, run, whatever.

Hi Mariners, this is Max Crocombe and you're listening to The View from the Finders Podcast.

Hi, this is Helen from the View from the Finders team and here's my reaction to Towns' deserved 1-0 win over Exeter.
0:28
It was a solid performance without being spectacular and possibly one that could be punished against a better team.
0:34
In the first half we lacked cohesion and it didn't quite click, too many stray passes and hesitancy in decision making and too much passing back to Pim and across the defence.
0:43
But these are things that will improve with time and its new players settle in, so optimism rather than cause for concern.
0:50
The goal came at a time when we had cranked up the pressure with a rare-headed goal from Harvey Rodgers who now sparks his early claims for the club's golden boot.
0:58
The second half we were more dominant and it should have been more than 1-0.
12:23
the club not having enough ambition or sort of lacking in not being able to compete with some clubs at this level still? What would you make to that?
12:33
Yeah, I can completely see where they're coming from.
12:36
I mean, without knowing the details behind it, it's hard to pass comment, but I'm sure they did whatever they could within their business model to pull out the stock to try and sign him.
12:51
And I'm sure the owners have said in the past that they will do what they can but you know in terms of wages for players and stuff that they've got a hard stop on something so it might just be that we were totally outpriced and we know that there are some clubs in League 2 that that are forking out way more than we can afford but aren't necessarily running the club as well so it's a really difficult one and I don't envy them being in that position trying to pitch themselves against other clubs because I don't think there probably was a sell there in terms of the club itself but at the end of the day it comes down to money doesn't it and they can't bankrupt the club by trying to get him.
13:35
So we don't know how close or how far away they were.
13:39
So it's really difficult to comment on that.
13:43
Unless they were also confident that they got all the keepers in mind so they felt confident that they didn't need to push the boat out a little bit more.
15:22
I think a lot of fans were of the opinion he'd get a League One move, but I don't know if there was any guarantees of that, really, the lack of football he played in the second half of last season.
8:13
But of course it's particularly acute for carers, and there isn't really a solution because they don't have any spare money, do they?
8:19
No, absolutely not.
8:20
I mean, money is ...
8:21
You know, it's tight for everybody, isn't it, right now? But you, you heard Pauline very articulately explain there, her costs are even greater.
8:28
She needs to keep the heating on.
8:30
She needs to pay for incontinence pads.
8:32
Um, carers may have hoists in, in, in the, uh, in the home or an oxygen machine.
9:20
What else is there? What should they be doing to boost their income?
