Scott Brown as manager, I expect they’ll be physical and up for a fight. Also didn’t realise they are somewhat ambitious: People wouldn't necessarily associate Fleetwood with trips abroad, but they have partnerships with two clubs in South Africa and another in Dubai, while chairman Andrew Pilley also owns Waterford in Ireland. "I look forward to playing them all," Brown says. "In the International break, we were fortunate to have three players playing at under 21 level for Northern Ireland. The Irish market is huge for us. Having a club over there is a stepping stone. "Another small thing is the chairman knows the owner of Lake Como. He says do you want to take the team over for three nights. I asked the lads if they wanted to go. 'Yip, yip, yip'. The chairman has booked everything, paid for everything. We end up going over and playing Lake Como, who have [Cesc] Fabregas there. "That was another reason I came to Fleetwood. The chairman has ambition, I have ambition, the lads have ambition as well." |  |
