Episode 3 Late Kick Off East

Tonight we meet the family with one of the best names in football, we

reveal things about them and of course, there's Barry Fry. He's the

top scorer in League One following in his father's foot steps, we meet

team Assombalonga. We've all the highs and lows after a

weekend of what might have beens, the margin between success and

the margin between success `nd failure has close as ever.

And the late kick off fans panel is back, talking finance with genuine

fears for the future of our cash`strapped clubs.

We were probably living beyond our means and that's cost us in the end

and we are struggling now month`to`month to sort of exist

really. Hello. Good evening. We'll also be

Hello. Good evening. We'll `lso be assessing Norwich City's survival

chances with the thoughts of a couple of Canary legends later.

First, happy St Patrick's D`y to First, happy St Patrick's D`y to

Paul McVey who's been out of St Patrick's by Barry Fry. What a suit!

I came here supporting Paul on St Patrick's Day. Can't believd I

didn't bring my green suit. It was either that or a Jock strap.

Assombalonga some was on lo`n either that or a Jock strap.

Assombalonga some was on lo`n at Braintree Town, now he's

Peterborough's best signing, close to scoring 30 goals already this

season and whenever he plays, his family are always watching.

Meet the Assombalongas, the team behind one of the most feared

strikers in League One. Do xou strikers in League One. Do xou

always come here to support Kriss? Yes, you are supposed to support

your son. When he play good, you are happy. For me, it's special time to

come here. Every time different. 20 years ago, dad was leading the line

for the then Zahir, 42 caps. But with Civil War looming, he wanted a

better life. He took his falily to better life. He took his falily to

the UK, it's proved a shrewd move. Two decades on, Kriss is following

in his father's footsteps. Sometimes in our country, there was trouble

there. That's when I said no, I want to bring my children to get a good

education. You are an ex`international footballer

yourself? Yes. When I was in my team, I was famous. You were

yourself? Yes. When I was in my team, I was famous. You werd a

famous man? Yes. No`one knows you here though, do you? No, but in my

country everyone does. You guys go home with your dad? No. So xou don't

home with your dad? No. So you don't know if he's just spinning xou a

know if he's just spinning you a story!

What was life growing up `` life like growing up? We grew up on a

housing estate. A council estate. We were exposed to a lot of things.

were exposed to a lot of thhngs That allowed us to gain knowledge

and experience, especially with me being the older brother, having two

sisters and a younger brothdr. being the older brother, having two

sisters and a younger brother. I had to be able to set an exampld. Our

brother is so humble, he realises brother is so humble, he re`lises

and he's grateful for where he is at the moment and there's not one

second or a minute for him to be able to talk things for granted. He

sticks to things and works hard and he knows he has the family backing

and support that he sees. When we come and watch him play, that

carry on and to succeed and to reach the high level which we lovd to

carry on and to succeed and to reach the high level which we love to see

him play in the Premier League. Five minutes from kick off, what is going

through your mind? This time, minutes from kick off, what is going

through your mind? This timd, no problem. Two minutes before kick

off, I get nervous. Sweating, every game. Good feeling in my heart.

game. Good feeling in my he`rt. Whilst team Assombalonga watch

nervously, let's hand you to the action.

The referee says play on. It's in the back of the neck. It was three

or four yards out... Goal! Goal! . ! Goal!

Assombalonga danger now. Assombalonga shoots against David

Martin. Not picked up by the Peterborough player. Was it a

penalty? It's a penalty. Assombalonga over it right`footed.

Shoots and scores. And Peterborough are leading here at Stadium MK and

it's a brace for Assombalonga! So MK Dons are Assombalongadd

it's a brace for Assombalonga! So MK Dons are Assombalongaed by

it's a brace for Assombalonga! So MK Dons are Assombalongadd by the

26thth goals of the season. One happy striker and one happy family.

At the start of the season I said I'm going to go and see how it goes.

Now, that man standing there reckons that all your natural ability comes

from him? ! Yes, he was a great scorer so obviously he's passed it

down to me. Tell me how it feels to have this level of family stpport

behind you? Just to know that they behind you? Just to know that they

come to every game, just to have that support, knowing that they are

watching you, away or at hole, that support, knowing that they are

watching you, away or at home, it's watching you, away or at home, it's

the best thing. Paul is joined by Barry tonhght

the best thing. Paul is joined by Barry tonight. Who

found some Britta Assombalonga? I found him in Southend. I went to

watch Dwight Gail who was stb in the watch Dwight Gail who was stb in the

last 22 minutes. I found the chairman afterwards and said, you

have got to sign him and also you've got to sign Britt. I told the

gaffer, he had him watched, we all had him watched. It took me six

months to get him from Watford. And you paid a fair price? ?1.2 million

over several budget years, but Juan Luca at Watford didn't want him to

go and I had to stay over at the training ground to get the deal

done. It was well worth it. What is it about the way he plays that means

he scores so many goals? He's so powerful a player and clearly a

great finisher. As Barry well knows, he gambles whenever something

happens. For instance, whendver he gambles whenever something

happens. For instance, whenever you see his team`mates pike the ball up,

it's the reaction. Britta Assombalonga is up there, that's why

he's got that many goals. You heard from his father there. When you see

a player, you will probably see an agent, but not a much or dad

usually? We spoke to the manager of Southend and he said he's a lovely

boy and he said he wants to listen, learn and improve all the time.

Lovely boy, lovely family, but he's also got a good agent who's Gareth

Bale's agent and that was dhfficult Bale's agent and that was dhfficult

to deal with as Elle as well. From a Peterborough perspective,

From a Peterborough perspective it's been difficult keeping them in

the play`offs. The fact that there's that six point gap now and they have

a goal in hand and they are away to Rotherham next week. But because

they have got that better goal difference as well, it's more or

less just that is hope hopefully, Baz, that should be secure hn your

Baz, that should be secure in your play`off place? He's the le`ding

play`off place? He's the leading goal scorer in the country. How much

is he worth? ! ?8.4 million, but I'm hoping to get that up. Only that

much and only a few months of the season left. Top`to`bottom of League

One, tension is building with six points separating knife`point clubs

in the fight to avoid `` separating nine clubs in the fights for the

top. It's just so difficult for the

teams. This will hurt the Colchester fans even more. The former Hpswich

fans even more. The former Ipswich player playing it through for Jones.

It was a great finish but it's just so difficult because they are not

scoring goals. They might h`ve a decent defensive record, but this

sums them up. Sanchez off the cross bar and it's those sort of chances

and it's fine lines and margins The and it's fine lines and margins The

substitute hit the post and that's the problem. The fine lines, you

know, that can define. An afternoon of success or failure, unbelievable.

Colchester beat us earlier on in the season and Joe looked to have a real

good season. He's had horrendous injuries. He's investing in youth as

well, has that cost him? Th`t's injuries. He's investing in youth as

well, has that cost him? That's been the main problem, the injurhes.

struggling Carlisle. What's been the difference for tell evenage? The

fact since Graham's been thdre, difference for tell evenage? The

fact since Graham's been thdre, it's all about the fitness. Everybody

all about the fitness. Everxbody knows his teams will be like

all about the fitness. Everybody knows his teams will be likd that.

They come strong in the second half of the season and also Chris Day had

an absolute blinder on Saturday with a couple of great shots there and

another one from Lee Miller wide of the post. I think what the

difference is is just that fitness. It's going to make all the

difference. That is going to be the difference. Nobody wants to pay ..

difference. Nobody wants to pay... What is it about Graham? He gets the

boys fit, you know, they cover every blade of grass, they are very, very

difficult to play against. St Thomas' teams `` some teams like to

pass the ball around, Grahal Thomas' teams `` some teams like to

pass the ball around, Graham likes pass the ball around, Grahal likes

to... Get in your face, get you off the game. Let's have a look at the

bottom half of the table. It was opposite for Stevenage before

Christmas? You see that and you think they are so close to get

themselves out. Tranmere Rovers are expecting them to make their way up

the table, so they are on the edge, not out of it just yet but feel like

they have a great chance. MK Dons comes up this Saturday as well?

they have a great chance. MK Dons comes up this Saturday as wdll? That

will be important for them. A huge one on Saturday as well? A

16`pointer tomorrow night, xou one on Saturday as well? A

16`pointer tomorrow night, xou know! Shrewsbury second bottom.

Unbelievable. Plenty still to come, including the fighted for survival

in the Premier League. It is confusing for the players. One

voice and then trying to change tactics in the middle of a season.

To the championship and a sobering thought for the fans of Ipswich

Town, which club has surrendered more points from winning positions

than any other club? You have got it, Ipswich. They have squandered 28

points from winning positions according to a report. Why hs it

according to a report. Why is it going wrong? It is a diffictlt

going wrong? It is a difficult question. Mick McCarthy must be

tearing his hair out. When xou have tearing his hair out. When you have

got that lead you work so h`rd to get it. Maybe it is fitness. I find

the statistics amazing. Mick McCarthy knows the game inside out.

He is the best man to get Ipswich back in the Premiership. For the

record, if Ipswich had held onto the 28 points, they would be top of the

table right now, a frightening facts. One of those defeats came in

the 2`1 home defeat against Leicester when they took an early

lead before losing the game. If they kept just half of the lost points,

14, they would be in third instead of ninth. It was the same old story

against Wigan Athletic. That is the problem, how many points thdy

against Wigan Athletic. That is the problem, how many points they could

problem, how many points thdy could have had from the start of the

season, but when you see this, Ipswich taking the lead. A great

finish into the top corner. But it is Ipswich fans who have sedn

finish into the top corner. But it is Ipswich fans who have seen this

so many times. It has been difficult for them. Wigan Athletic thd

so many times. It has been difficult for them. Wigan Athletic the form

for them. Wigan Athletic thd form team in the country. They are doing

unbelievably well in the league team in the country. They are doing

unbelievably well in the le`gue and unbelievably well in the le`gue and

the Cup. That is the thing with James McLean, he scored his first

goal for Wigan and as soon as Ipswich drawback level and for the

Ipswich fans, they will hate Ipswich drawback level and for the

Ipswich fans, they will hate to this goal. As soon as you go to` one down

it is almost like the same old story. You have to give credit to

Wigan. Playing so well. James Maclean, fellow Irishman, that same

old story. They have taken the lead, 1`0 up, and they are losing 3`1. It

1`0 up, and they are losing 3`1 It is so difficult. Even if they

1`0 up, and they are losing 3`1. It is so difficult. Even if thdy had

is so difficult. Even if they had half those points, they could have

been sitting in third. It is a big problem. Such a thin line between

success and failure. There `re success and failure. There are

bigger teams, arguably, with bigger squads.

bigger teams, arguably, with bigger Yes, bigger finances, bigger

everything. I think Mick has done an amazing job but I think he is

everything. I think Mick has done an amazing job but I think he hs the

man to take them to the promised man to take them to the prolised

land. And Brighton, next, five land. And Brighton, next, fhve

points the gap. It's huge, this next couple of weeks. They are going to

find out one way or another in the next few weeks? Brighton is a form

team as well. They have come next few weeks? Brighton is a form

team as well. They have comd up from team as well. They have comd up from

nowhere and they have a gre`t chance. They have a game in hand, as

well. Barry, thanks for now. Here's another statistic which will not do

much to warm the cockles of Shrimpers followers. Southend now 11

games without a win and, despite that, they are still in the play`off

places. A fact manager Phil Brown for one admits he can't unddrstand.

Can anyone understand it? To be honest, it is a case of problems

with their goal`scoring record. They are not scoring enough goals. What

the good thing they do have is Daniel Bentley, the goalkeeper, has

had 14 clean sheets. You've got to say that is one good thing. But it

has been such a poor game at the weekend. This shot. Placing it well

over the bar. That's been the problem. They are not clinical

enough in front of goal. We talked about Dan Bentley the goal, he is

making saves. .He's had a lhttle about Dan Bentley the goal, he is

making saves. .He's had a little bit making saves. .He's had a little bit

of bad luck over the past couple of weeks, but he is making savds.

weeks, but he is making saves. Kevin Hurst, again, cutting in, h`s a

shot. He scored a few goals this season, but, still not really doing

enough. Look at that table, Barry. They haven't won in 11 games and

they are still there. If I was Phil, I'd be delighted, because you've got

a real chance. they are still there. If I was Phil,

I'd be delighted, But it's very difficult for him to sort out what

the problem is, otherwise hd'd have the problem is, otherwise he'd have

put it right by now. You'd think someone like Phil Brown has had

enough experience, the fact he's been in the Premier League. Nigel

Worthington, York City, came from Worthington, York City, camd from

nowhere, just behind him. been in the Premier League. Nigel

Unbelievable. On Friday they been in the Premier League. Nigel

Unbelievable. On Friday thex have Bristol Rovers. They've got to find

something from somewhere. They have got to have a win, no matter how

they get it, they've got to change their luck. To the ongoing saga that

is the problems for Northampton Town. It doesn't matter what they

do, they have a fantastic run going, do, they have a fantastic run going,

Chris Wilder's side. 1`1 with Mansfield, six games unbeaten,

Mansfield, six games unbeatdn, Barry. What is the magic of Chris

Wilder at the moment? He's doing something special. He's certainly

giving them a chance becausd something special. He's certainly

giving them a chance because when giving them a chance becausd when

Adie left they looked dead `nd buried, but Chris has come in and

buried, but Chris has come hn and done a good job. He'll be

disappointed to only get a point out of this game. They deserved to win

it. Another vital game tomorrow they've got at home to Rochdale.

I'm not sure if that's a controversial decision from the

referee. But, maybe sometimes, when you are at the bottom of thd

referee. But, maybe sometimds, when you are at the bottom of the table,

that's not the luck you get. The fact that Darren Carter... H

against Norwich City. Any man who you think is going to step tp and

you think is going to step up and hit that penalty, he's as good as

anyone. And they had a great chance to win it at the end. Looking at the

way their finishing, the finishing run is fascinating for fans. They'll

be looking at every game and will be saying, will we win this, whll we

draw? Look at the table, Accrington, Exeter, Wycombe, the list goes on.

Even Portsmouth, a big club. Average gate 15,000 this year. They're even

fairer distribution of money. Maybe fairer distribution of monex. Maybe

selling of players, but even that seems to be less than it used to

selling of players, but even that seems to be less than it usdd to be.

What it's kind of generated, it's making the Championship in

particular a very difficult league to get out of, because you got teams

coming down getting 60 million to get out of, because you got teams

coming down getting 60 millhon over four years. The parachute payments.

How are you supposed to compete when you are struggling? Ipswich are

struggling to keep their head above struggling to keep their he`d above

water. They are in debt year on year. How can you find... It is so

unfair. That is a direct example year. How can you find... It is so

unfair. That is a direct example and cascading down to the lower

divisions, where it is almost as if Leagues One and Two and beyond don't

just matter. It's a reward for a relegation, the parachute p`yments.

That's a good way of putting it. relegation, the parachute payments.

That's a good way of putting it If That's a good way of putting it If

you get relegated from the Premier League you should take the

consequences. I know a lot of teams had problems in the past, Ldeds

United and teams like that, who ended up in League One. Thex've been

self` inflicted. It's the cyclical self` inflicted. It's the cxclical

nature of football. I think you will get teams that rise and fall, it

happens all the time. It wasn't that long ago that Bradford were a

Premiership side, and Swindon. It's the way it goes. That used to be

achievable, but it seems one million achievable, but it seems ond million

miles away. Can you imagine a Bradford or particularly a Swindon?

You need to have that because that is the cherry the smaller clubs aim

for. Teams like mine, they like to have the knowledge that it hs

achievable and a small club can possibly make that. Unless it is

achievable and a small club can possibly make that. Unless ht is a

more level playing field it's not then happen. Going to the

Championship almost ruined ts. To try to compete with some of those

clubs we were spending, for us, disproportionate amounts of money.

We were probably living beyond our means and that's cost us in the end

and we're struggling now month to month to sort of exist. It's

difficult because if you do get up there, if you don't spend a little

bit of money, you will finish rock bottom and get hardly any points.

Just the way it is. You have bottom and get hardly any points.

Just the way it is. You havd got bottom and get hardly any points.

Just the way it is. You have got to try and be sustainable about it and

be sensible. Colchester did it better than us. What's the answer?

not going to vote for fairer distribution because it affdcts the

clubs directly. I think the FA needs to get tougher because the Premier

League is running the game effectively. There needs to be a

push for a fairer distributhon. effectively. There needs to be a

push for a fairer distribution. The push for a fairer distribution. The

top clubs need to be put in line more often than they are. The irony

is that Rooney has just signed this ?300,000 a week deal, reportedly.

That single player is earning more than an entire squad in the lower

leagues. It is madness. How can you compete, how can small clubs compete

with that kind of disparity? The top clubs need to look after the smaller

clubs need to look after thd smaller clubs a lot better than they do

clubs a lot better than thex do because at the end of the day

clubs a lot better than they do because at the end of the d`y they

can't produce everyone themselves. They need to rely on some of the

smaller clubs to bring players through. It's not fair at the

moment. Barry how much did it cost

Peterborough when you were relegated to League One? It cost us ?5

million. We were very lucky. We sold Daley for six million. It's going to

be a big problem next year. How are you trying to fill the gap? In

League One you can only spend 6 % you trying to fill the gap? In

League One you can only spend 6 % of your income on players' wages and

League One you can only spend 60% of your income on players' wagds and if

your income on players' wages and if we don't get out of League One this

year, we will have a transfer embargo on us next year, because we

spend too much on our players as it is. It is a big problem to us. Our

is. It is a big problem to ts. Our gates are going down, commercial

revenue is going down and that is not only us, it is all the clubs up

and down the country. In Le`gue not only us, it is all the clubs up

and down the country. In Le`gue Two, it's even worse, it's only 50%

and down the country. In League Two, it's even worse, it's only 40% of

your income they can spend on players' wages. Barry, why do you

think the clubs are regulated, players' wages. Barry, why do you

think the clubs are regulatdd, why don't you think the clubs can

don't you think the clubs c`n regulate themselves? I think the

Football League brought in these rules to protect the clubs because

the clubs, the fans, everybody wears their heart on their sleeve, they

want the club to win the le`gue want the club to win the league,

they pay extra money. Some of them were paying 120% and getting into

trouble. The difference between the haves and the have`nots grows every

existence? Can it compete? H fear for football's existence. What I'm

frightened of is once one or two clubs collapse, it will be like a

pack of cards and there will be 20, 30 clubs that collapse. The finance

worries me. Also, I think what will happen is transfer fees in the lower

leagues will get less and ldss. happen is transfer fees in the lower

leagues will get less and less. We leagues will get less and ldss. We

talked about the problems you've been facing financially. What if

Norwich were to be relegated this season? You talk about five million

if you drop out of the Championship. I think they would lose 60

straightaway. That would be a big problem for them. Especiallx after

problem for them. Especially after the defeat against Southampton1 at

the weekend. You talk about five million being dropped. Is it 10

million if you then the Premier million if you then the Premier

League and you don't get th`t million if you then the Prelier

League and you don't get that next League and you don't get that next

season? They've got four ye`rs League and you don't get th`t next

season? They've got four ye`rs of parachute payment if they go down,

but they've already got contracts for millions and millions you can't

recover sometimes. If you drop out of the Premiership, you're

struggling. But Norwich won't drop out the Premiership! What's the

matter with you?! You heard it here first. No such relegation fears

weekend. The full Premier Ldague season was played out in just one

day in aid of Sport Relief. The Canaries finishing in mid`t`ble

Cheered on by former boss Bryan Gunn, who told us his old club are

right to stick with current boss Chris Hughton. It's all abott

getting together at this stage Chris Hughton. It's all about

getting together at this st`ge of the year and creating that spirit

and teamwork that will take them through. I think that is solething

Norwich City might be an advantage to the rest of the teams, bdcause

to the rest of the teams, because they stuck with Chris and Chris

with his coaching staff, it will be a battle, but I'm sure they're ready

for that. The next few games are vitally important. They are playing

sides in and around them. The last four games are particularly tough. I

think they will have enough points to stay up. It's been tough this

season, they haven't scored enough goals but it's not easy. Soletimes

fans' expectations are too high. Barry, when you know the fans are

against the manager, are you Barry, when you know the fans are

against the manager, are you a backer or a sacker? We back the

manager. Darren lost eight games on the trot last year and we kept

manager. Darren lost eight games on the trot last year and we kdpt with

him and he got it right. But you got relegated. Yeah, but he still got it

right. We got relegated with 54 points, which was a record hn the
