I had been at [Manchester] City for three years, so I was aware of all of our best young talent, but I was also aware of all the young players of, say, [born in] 2002 right the way up to 2007/8. So I knew all of the best talent, and I had a pretty strong idea that the players at Cardiff were as good as a lot of the best young talent in Europe.

Around 5,000 seats across 136 local councils will now be up for grabs, following the government's U-turn on council election delays. Ministers had granted 30 authorities permission to delay elections until May 2027 - including five areas where polls had already been put back from May 2025. But in February, the government said those elections would go ahead in May this year, following legal advice in the wake of a challenge from Reform UK.
