Paul Heckingbottom delivered his latest press conference earlier today and he certainly had plenty to say as you might expect.
It’s been another hectic week at the club with the Burma tour announced and Pablo Hernandez deal agreed whilst question marks over Hecky’s future seem to persist.
It would appear that he remains confident of staying at the club, though, with him saying – as per Phil Hay on Twitter – that he and Andrea Radrizzani want the same things:
Heckingbottom on his relationship with Radrizzani: "We certainly want the same things." #lufc

Well, this was always going to generate a somewhat amusing reaction and so let’s have a look at what has been said…
"We dream the same dreams, we want the same things". Belinda Carlisle 1989. I'll name that tune in one, Phil. Next.👍

Yeah, me and my wife want to win the lottery… doesn’t mean it’s going to happen.

The Verdict
It’s nice to at least hear that the two are on the same page but whether that delivers the right sort of results remains to be seen.
This is a big summer for the club as Hecky looks to prove a point and at least with Andrea apparently onside he’ll have the support to try and do that.
Let’s see how he does.
