Worth watching or a load of shite?

My guess is that it is a rebuffed replica of ever one he has done in the past ten months.
Online!
It was pretty familiar ground he was going over in most cases.
Stuck up for himself on the subject of the jets deal, more or less saying he felt he had left the club in capable hands but he did accept that mistakes were made in terms of signing policy. Said not enough questions were asked of Jackie in terms of signings and that it had been rectified. He said his "poor recruitment put us in this position" statement just after Mixu was appointed landed him in bother, and that he was sent a legal document. Can only assume the lawyers of Jmac and co complained.
Dismissed the accusations of us having a poor transfer window by stating Mixu has signed 7 players during his tenure. Guy Demel ended up here as he wants to move in to coaching and was told by friends that Mixu was a great example of great coaching and he could learn from him. Claims he had to hold Mixu back from setting about the ref after the derby at Dens and they speak 2 or 3 times a day. Says Mixu's work ethic is second to none, first one at training and last to leave. Every postponed match we've had Mixu has bought a ticket to watch rivals instead of sitting in the house and every thing he does is meticulous.
Think that was the only new material, after that just usual stuff about being 100% committed to the club despite rumours of him selling up to go live in Australia, hopes that the past can be put behind as we move forward etc. etc.
Should note he never took personal responsibility for any of the problems in 2015, preferring to use "we" in reference to himself and the BoD.

Some more points:
Claimed Ryan Mcgowan was offered a hefty increase in salary and United weren't going to stand in his way with a fee being involved and him having 6 months left.
More or less said Souttar wanted to leave without actually saying it, claims many people spoke to him about the situation including his agent and Souttars dad.
Says too much was made of all the recent departures and that in nearly all cases the players were young anes that would probably never have put on the jersey for United.
Said finances weren't as bad as being made out and retracted his "catastrophic" statement about finances and relegation, saying it was taken out of proportion to make headlines by journalists.
Has pulled out of making frequent public statements as he feels less is more and he should only speak out when DUFC is affected.

Time will tell re finances when the accounts come out. Remember the Robertson and Gauld deals will be on the accounts. What we need to look out for are the operating losses. This is probably the main issue re club finances.

Very good summary Morph.
