Speak up, Michael Carrick!
"We are trying to strengthen the squad. That's the job at the moment, it's the time of the year we are in, even though the season has started. We are pushing for that and as soon as something happens we will let you know. Until then, there is really nothing to report.
Is the striker position the hardest to fill? Not necessarily. I think it really depends on what you're looking for and how specific you are about what you want from each position.
Sometimes you can be a bit more general in terms of the strengths of the players you want - when you're a bit more specific, it filters the market quite a bit. It's never as simple or as easy as just identifying who you want and making that happen because there are a lot of moving parts. We know that. We're patient to a certain extent, but we're aware that certain things need to be done as well."
Speak up, Mark Robins!
"Yes, it's always the first game and we're looking forward to it. I think it will be a brilliant atmosphere. I think it's a really good game. They've obviously changed a little bit from last year, with loan players coming back and what have you, and it's a similar boat to ours.
We've got, we've got, and it's been a big turnover as well and a new influx of new players that obviously takes time to get going, so yeah, from our perspective it's really exciting. The new pitch is ready; the new dressing rooms and it looks fantastic and we're looking forward to getting back in front of our home support.
Time is exactly what we need. In terms of what happened last season, people might think the progression this year is obviously promotion. It's not obvious and obviously what is obvious is that we sold the best striker in the class last year.
What we've done is we've managed to add to that and thanks to Doug, he's investing heavily and letting us get on with what we need to do to try and bring in new players and obviously what happens with that, and I keep using the word obviously because it's obvious to me, it might not be obvious to everyone else, that this is the start of something, not the continuation of something and when you've got that much change, it would be easy to keep everything the same."

Championship
The EFL Championship is England's second largest domestic league behind the Premier League. The tournament was revamped in the 2004-05 season when the Football League decided to introduce the league to the federation that organizes the national leagues.
The second division has changed its name three times: Football League Second Division: 1892-1992, Football League First Division: 1992-2004 and Football League Championship: 2004-2016.
England's second division began in the 1892-93 season, when Birmingham were champions and Sheffield United were runners-up. Liverpool, champions 19 times of the top flight, were the second winners in the league's history.
Manchester City and Leicester City are the tournament's greatest champions. City, the reigning Champions League winners, won the competition for the first time in the last century, in 1898-99. Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland and Norwich have won five times.
Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Middlesbrough, Newcastle, Liverpool, Leeds United, Burnley and Derby County have won the second tier four times. The list of champions of the competition is huge. Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea, other members of the Big Six, have also been champions.
The current tournament has 24 teams. Plymouth Argyle, Ipswich Town and Sheffield Wednesday have risen from the third tier, while Leicester, Southampton and Leeds have dropped from the top flight. Two teams go straight up to the Premier League, while four battle it out for the last spot in a knockout fashion with the 'final' at Wembley. Three teams drop to the lower division at the end of the 46 rounds.
The 121st edition of English soccer's second tier, the 32nd under the current format, starts on August 4 and runs until May 4, 2024.
