GS: Mandy Burley (Annelies Lovell) Biloo Kapur (Hari Dhillon) Noah Langham (Adam Garcia) Trudi Peyton (Shelly Minto) Sean, still on crutches, hobbles about in the physio room. Vincent and Warren come in and remark that he is a lucky man, as the new physio starts today, and "he" was a former wrestler in Des is brainstorming what entertainment to host at the Supporters' Club Christmas party. Zoe's reminder of his act last year settles it for Des - they'll do a karaoke night! Frank gives the boys their invitations to the party, and adds the supporters are bound to ask questions about the recent staff changes but they are to say nothing. Frank tells Vincent he wants to see him in his office, but Vincent is smug when he hears Ian Coates say the same to him! Trudi is having fun winding Sean up, and gets close to say how an older woman can teach a boy a thing or two! As Jacobs begins to discuss Dean's contract, Biloo takes over, saying it won't be hard to find a deal that is beneficial to both sides. Sean tries to smooth things over with Trudi and offers to take her out that evening. Jacobs listens intently as Biloo lays down his terms for Dean, which include three-grand-a-week wages, a signing on bonus of around £150K, plus usual fringe benefits. In his office, Frank goes through Vincent's recent performances and how it appears he has lost his confidence. Vincent takes it personally and throws back that Frank himself might well be on his way out with Coates' arrival. Frank flips and yells at Vincent to get out of his office, before adding he didn't expect something like that from him. When Vincent disappears to a meeting he's got, Sean retorts he hopes he isn't going behind the lovely Gemma's back. Unimpressed with Biloo's "requirements" for Dean, Michael tells him it will be a big fat no, and says he's been reading too many back pages for the bigger clubs with those demands. When Biloo rejects a grand-a-week in wages, Dean is left squirming in his seat. In his meeting with Coates, Ian reveals to Frank he isn't happy with this "amateurish" set up at the club, and he is giving everyone in the youth team the next six months to prove themselves, before he decides if anyone is to be sacked. Frank takes exception to Ian, adding if he doesn't have faith in him to do his job then there are plenty of other clubs out there that will. Dean thinks Jacobs will view him unfavourably after how Biloo carried on. Biloo isn't worried, and reminds Dean Jacobs will have to come to an agreement before Christmas otherwise he will be cup-tied for the FA Cup. Mandy is happy when Trudi snaps a pair of handcuffs on Sean, who is now in his boxers, and leads him out onto the pitch in the black of night. Before he knows it she has cuffed him to the rail of the goalpost and has whipped out a camera. All Sean can do is squirm as Trudi takes a snap and says this is for standing her up. Sean is left alone attached to the post in his underwear as she walks away.
Notes: The Best: Trudi’s games with Sean and he in return genuinely believing he is in with a chance. Des with his football encyclopaedia book out and Noah getting more questions right than Sean. Trudi’s revenge - for Sean’s reaction more than anything! · Quotes: Sean (on more of Noah’s achievements): "Where was this? On your package holiday to Llandudno?" Zoe (angrily): "For your information Noah has just spent the last six months teaching and travelling around Continuity: Trudi was on Coates' backroom staff in Holland. Coates reminds Frank he will have been at the club six years in January (1992). This is aside from his own two-stint playing career with the club throughout the 1970’s and 1986-1991. · Soundtrack: Peggy Lee: "Fever", Dodgy: “Good Enough”
