Third promotion promise in five years, Ricky. Why should anyone believe this one?
Ricky Salter00:06:44–00:06:58
Because this one comes with a squad built for it, whatever the paper says.
Ricky Salter00:07:00–00:07:19 · Selected passage
Promotion this season. Write it down, laminate it, bring it to the last home game. I'll sign it.
Georgie Blunt00:07:21–00:07:29
That's a lot of confidence for June.
Ricky Salter00:07:31–00:07:42
June is when confidence is cheapest. I'm buying in bulk.

A year ago you sat here and made a promise that usually ends careers.
Ricky Salter00:49:46–00:49:58
And the fans held me to it, which is exactly what I asked for.
Ricky Salter00:50:00–00:50:26 · Selected passage
Laminate it, I said. Promoted with two games to spare, and I signed four hundred of those laminates at the parade, hand's still sore.
Georgie Blunt00:50:28–00:50:36
What was different this time?
Ricky Salter00:50:38–00:50:52
We spent the summer on the spine, not the headlines. Boring wins leagues.
