:04:17. > :04:27.One or two Southampton fans were appealing that it had crossed the
:04:27. > :04:52.

:04:56. > :05:02.used to seeing goals by the BAFTA mode, and they are heading for the
:05:02. > :05:07.exit. It is all over. Southampton missed the chance to return to the
:05:07. > :05:13.top of the table. Leicester climbed to 13th, but now they are only five
:05:13. > :05:21.points of the play-offs, and good looking -- looking good for a late
:05:21. > :05:28.surge. That lists them to within five points of sixth-placed
:05:28. > :05:31.Birmingham. That was a combination Birmingham. That was a combination
:05:31. > :05:37.of the players that you and Sven Goran Eriksson brought together.
:05:37. > :05:44.They did well tonight. There were key moments in the game, and
:05:44. > :05:52.Southampton had a chance just before Leicester scored, and there
:05:52. > :05:57.was a good win for them there. They are in the frame for a play-off
:05:57. > :06:02.place. Billy, you saw them play Nottingham Forest last month. Maybe
:06:02. > :06:06.that is a sign that they are clicking finally? Very much so.
:06:06. > :06:10.Their confidence is beginning to grow. They have some very good
:06:10. > :06:17.players, Leicester City. They have a good squad, and you would expect
:06:17. > :06:22.them to be there or thereabouts. think Matt Mills' Leicester City
:06:22. > :06:27.career has not taken off. We saw one of his better performances.
:06:27. > :06:31.is a quality player, no doubt about that. He did take a little time to
:06:31. > :06:35.settle down, maybe it was the transfer fee or something. Can that
:06:35. > :06:40.get to that a player? It can affect players in different ways. You
:06:40. > :06:47.would have to ask Matt, but after tonight's performance, he looks
:06:47. > :06:52.back to his best. Let us talk about your time at Leicester. Do you feel
:06:52. > :06:56.slightly harshly treated? We knew that we have to hit the ground
:06:56. > :07:00.running. There is no doubt about that, given the budget that we had,
:07:00. > :07:06.and the players that we had brought in. There was this huge amount of
:07:06. > :07:11.expectation, and obviously, we got away to a good start at Coventry,
:07:11. > :07:17.but then we sit up in two home games. But I thought we had
:07:17. > :07:24.recovered. -- we slipped up in two home games. Unfortunately, we had
:07:24. > :07:28.another couple of poor results, and ultimately, that cost us is in jobs.
:07:28. > :07:33.Many get your views on Leicester this season. Can you see them being
:07:33. > :07:38.in the mix at the end? Certainly, yes. You just have to look at the
:07:38. > :07:44.division over the last two years. You can look at teams like
:07:44. > :07:50.Blackpool, Burnley and Reading. It is certainly within their reach,
:07:50. > :07:54.and particularly after tonight's game, it is a tremendous boost for
:07:54. > :07:59.everyone. It will give them hope going into the next home game that
:07:59. > :08:06.they can get three more points, and that will push them further forward.
:08:06. > :08:11.Still to come, the rest of the weekend's goals, and the season's
:08:11. > :08:21.most bizarre hat-trick so far. Take a bow, Michael Duberry. Thank you
:08:21. > :08:22.
:08:22. > :08:28.for your response to our features last week, and we have invited the
:08:28. > :08:33.owners of Coventry City to speak to us, and we hope that they will be
:08:34. > :08:43.giving their viewpoint at some point during bases its -- series.
:08:44. > :08:48.
:08:48. > :08:58.We are available on Facebook and If you support Port Vale, you will
:08:58. > :09:02.know about the confusion that reigns at Vale Park. Late kick-off
:09:02. > :09:12.but -- Late Kick Off were told that investment was going in, but that
:09:12. > :09:18.
:09:18. > :09:25.It has become a familiar scene at Port Vale. Fans protesting about a
:09:25. > :09:31.lack of investment and broken promises. Do the honourable thing
:09:31. > :09:37.and step down! Vote of no confidence! The club is �4 million
:09:37. > :09:42.in debt, and fans say they are at their wits end. So many homes which
:09:42. > :09:46.are not materialising. It is hard for people to concentrate on the
:09:46. > :09:52.pitch, because of this drama that is going on in the background.
:09:52. > :09:56.is a rudderless club. It has no focus, no funding there, and there
:09:56. > :10:04.is nothing to drive it on. That is so upsetting to see. Last week, we
:10:04. > :10:07.were told that there may be positive news. We were told about
:10:07. > :10:11.possible new investment. But the board say they can't talk to me
:10:11. > :10:16.because of legal reasons. But all but came was a club statement,
:10:16. > :10:21.claiming that the protest by the supporters there was -- was
:10:21. > :10:26.seriously damaging the club's income. It hope to announce
:10:26. > :10:31.positive news in the near future. The promise of investments is
:10:31. > :10:39.nothing new. I spoke to one of the director's last August and he
:10:39. > :10:45.suggested change would happen. Change does not happen overnight. I
:10:45. > :10:53.hope in a short space of time, we can get some investment. Fans''
:10:53. > :10:58.frustration is directed at two men, Perry Deakin and Peter Millar. They
:10:58. > :11:05.were supposed to be behind �8 million of investment that never
:11:05. > :11:15.materialised. This letter suggests that there was a salary of �100,000
:11:15. > :11:20.
:11:20. > :11:25.for an unpaid role. We have never had a paid chairman in the history
:11:25. > :11:31.of the club. We have not had a chief executive pay that kind of
:11:31. > :11:36.money. It is not a bottomless pit. The boardroom saga has been hitting
:11:36. > :11:41.the headlines for just over two seasons now. The editor of the
:11:41. > :11:45.local paper says that any talk of new investment take a lot to
:11:45. > :11:49.convince the new fans. investment that then -- this
:11:49. > :11:53.current board brings in will be laughed at by the supporters,
:11:53. > :11:59.because unless it is �4 million, and they see it in a briefcase,
:11:59. > :12:04.play will not believe a word these guys say, and anything less than �4
:12:04. > :12:11.million will be a sticking plaster to a gaping wound. On the pitch,
:12:11. > :12:15.though, Saturday's win at Rotherham was the boost the club needed. Marc
:12:15. > :12:19.Richards stepped up to take the penalty and get the three points.
:12:19. > :12:27.The squad are confident that they can push for a play-off position.
:12:27. > :12:31.There was a bit of doom and gloom around the club, but a win is a win.
:12:31. > :12:36.Everyone is fighting for contracts, so they want to do as well as they
:12:36. > :12:40.can. We need a massive win to get back on track. They also happen
:12:40. > :12:50.debt -- hoping for a win against Plymouth, but back of the field, in
:12:50. > :12:57.a recent poll of 2,500 Port Vale fans, 97 % of that fans want the
:12:57. > :13:01.directors to leave. That is despite any new investment, there is no
:13:01. > :13:09.transparency. They are waiting for the next chapter of events at Vale
:13:09. > :13:12.There is a Portsmouth supporters' Club meeting tomorrow night at
:13:12. > :13:21.Smallthorne Victory Club and the organisers are asking all
:13:21. > :13:26.supporters to attend. When there is such a divide between board and
:13:26. > :13:30.fans, is it hard to separate yourself from that? It is very
:13:30. > :13:33.important that the manager, staff and players will continue to be as
:13:33. > :13:40.professional as they can. That is all they can do in circumstances
:13:40. > :13:45.like that. You can also use it as a tool to try and motivate, them
:13:45. > :13:49.against us situation. Do you employ that siege mentality? I think you
:13:49. > :13:54.have to in those circumstances. You have to continue to do your job as
:13:54. > :13:59.best as you possibly can. sympathise with the fans? There is
:13:59. > :14:05.no doubt about it. They are the people that by the season-ticket
:14:05. > :14:09.and keep the club going. Season- ticket sales at that level will
:14:09. > :14:14.certainly out strip any television money or corporate hospitality, so
:14:14. > :14:17.they are the lifeblood of the football club and the desire to be
:14:17. > :14:21.treated better than that. You have to feel for Micky Adams, because
:14:21. > :14:26.his hands are clearly tied in the transfer window. They're still
:14:26. > :14:30.doing remarkably well, only four points of the play-offs. The it is
:14:30. > :14:35.tremendous for the players and staff and everybody else. You feel
:14:35. > :14:39.for the fans. They do not know what is going on. I am sure that Micky
:14:39. > :14:43.Adams will be using this to the players and the staff, to continue
:14:43. > :14:47.to do their jobs and to get the success that they can and continue
:14:47. > :14:51.winning football matches. They have Micky Adams, who has a vast amount
:14:51. > :14:57.of experience in football and probably has been through this sort
:14:57. > :15:00.of situation before and knows how to treat it. From League Two to the
:15:00. > :15:07.Championship. It was an encouraging weekend for
:15:07. > :15:10.three other clubs. Birmingham and Coventry 1. There was more
:15:10. > :15:20.disappointment for Nottingham Forest, despite what Steve Coppell
:15:20. > :15:53.
:15:53. > :15:58.described as a much improved It is a goal for Forest. Any goal
:15:58. > :16:00.for Forest is welcome at the moment. Coventry City are now only two

:16:49. > :16:55.Davies scored twice before Chris Burke completed the scoring. Later
:16:55. > :17:02.on in that programme, we will be a meeting the Derby manager. -- the
:17:02. > :17:11.Derby manager -- the Derby goalkeeper. He kept his third

:17:18. > :17:23.agreed a fee. For Nottingham Forest, Billy, it is their 9th defeat in
:17:23. > :17:29.their last 11. When you left the club, they were in the play-offs.
:17:29. > :17:35.They are now in the bottom three. What you make about what has gone
:17:35. > :17:39.on? I am sad, and I say that sincerely. I have tremendous
:17:39. > :17:42.respect for the players. The fans will always be in my heart, because
:17:42. > :17:48.they were first class to me when I was there. I am sad to see what is
:17:48. > :17:51.taking place. You are not shy in telling people about the lack of
:17:51. > :17:58.transfer activity. We surprise that Steve McLaren was given so much
:17:58. > :18:04.leeway to spend? It was very difficult. We all have a different
:18:04. > :18:10.remit. My remit was Clear, and that was, or over the three years, to
:18:10. > :18:14.get my club -- to get the club promoted. If you're working to that
:18:14. > :18:20.remit, you can only advise, as I have said before, on how to get
:18:20. > :18:24.over the line, when, at important times of the season, to add to the
:18:24. > :18:29.squad and change things around and do what you are instructed to do,
:18:29. > :18:39.which is to get promoted. I do not what Steve's remit was, or what
:18:39. > :18:40.
:18:40. > :18:50.Steve Cotterell's remit is, it is difficult to common. This is what

:19:05. > :19:10.our Billy back... # I have great thoughts and feelings
:19:10. > :19:14.for the club. I really do. I wanted to get into the Premier League. The
:19:14. > :19:18.job is unfinished. Quite simply, I would love to finish that job, for
:19:18. > :19:26.the fans and the players that are there and for many good feed people
:19:27. > :19:31.at Nottingham Forest. There is any part of you feel vindicated? I do
:19:32. > :19:36.not think there is any doubt about that. It is all about remit. If you
:19:36. > :19:42.remit is to get promotion, and at times during the season, when
:19:42. > :19:46.things are needing a left, it is important to you as a manager at to
:19:46. > :19:50.direct that and to advise on what it takes to get there. You sound as
:19:50. > :19:56.if there is unfinished business for you? There is. The club deserves to
:19:56. > :20:00.be in the Premier League and the fans deserve it. The players
:20:01. > :20:04.deserve it. I am sad to see what has happened. I wish them well and
:20:04. > :20:08.I have no doubt they will get out of the Troubles. As I said, I wish
:20:08. > :20:14.them well. Five players out of contract in the summer. That needs
:20:15. > :20:21.to be sorted out quickly, surely? It is important to sort out long
:20:21. > :20:29.before and Major the ship stays steady. To make sure the players
:20:29. > :20:33.minds stay focused. -- make sure they should stay steady.
:20:33. > :20:37.Which of our teams have not conceded a goal in 2012, and has
:20:37. > :20:43.only let in four goals since the end of November? The answer is
:20:43. > :20:48.Derby County, whose goalkeeper Frank Fielding is emerging as a
:20:48. > :20:55.candidate for England's 2012 squad. He talked about meeting Wayne

:21:05. > :21:10.
:21:10. > :21:16.warm. -- is now home. Nice to see you, this is it, your
:21:16. > :21:24.house! He was a Blackburn fan but he has made his way to Derby.
:21:24. > :21:30.feel this is my phone -- my home now. I have never been able to set
:21:30. > :21:39.up home anywhere. Football is his passion but his love saw his
:21:39. > :21:42.girlfriend, Horley, and his little Jack Russell, Taylor. Loads of
:21:42. > :21:49.people have different things, people play on the PlayStation,
:21:49. > :21:59.watch television. I have Taylor. He is part of my family. This is the
:21:59. > :22:01.
:22:01. > :22:05.kitchen. Who's the chef? Not me, my girlfriend. I like to think of
:22:05. > :22:11.myself as a bit mad. I had two older brothers when I was growing
:22:11. > :22:17.up. I got pushed in goals were I was younger. I ended up loving it.
:22:17. > :22:23.I would not have it any other way. Last August, Frank was called up

:22:27. > :22:33.were people there I watch weekend, week out on Match of the day. He
:22:33. > :22:43.came over to me and said, I, I am wane. I looked at him and said, I
:22:43. > :22:49.
:22:49. > :22:55.know you are. -- I'm Wayne. The wallpaper shows I am English and
:22:55. > :22:59.proud to be English. There is no better feeling than Britain that

:24:12. > :24:17.I know Frank heels from Derek's hometown, is he good enough to be
:24:17. > :24:25.England's goalkeeper? You never know. He has a hard job at the
:24:25. > :24:30.moment. Jo Hart has been in fantastic form. He has been
:24:30. > :24:34.outstanding this season. For Frank, it is going to be difficult. He is
:24:34. > :24:39.a young goalkeeper and he did well in the Under 21 tournament. If you
:24:39. > :24:44.get an opportunity in the squad, he has got the chance to show the
:24:44. > :24:51.staff around him what he's capable of. To get that backing from Nigel
:24:51. > :24:54.Clough is great, isn't it? It is fantastic for the kid. There are
:24:54. > :24:59.not too many young English goalkeepers going around. One or
:24:59. > :25:04.two of the senior ones have elected not to represent their country. It
:25:04. > :25:10.is a big opportunity for him. He has got to maintain the form he has
