“I feel positive with the people I work with and there’s very, very good chemistry with the people around the club and that was the biggest influence in mind way of thinking and I think it’s fantastic.

 



“I’m in a good place with the people here and I have formed good relationships so these are the important things for me, building happy and consistent relationships with people and these were the influential mechanisms that helped me make my decision.”
