Leading figures from West Midlands football have agreed to answer the questions of Row Z readers.*
 This week it's the turn of former Aston Villa and Derby County manager John Gregory to take his place in the hotseat: Steve, Cannock
When can we expect to see you back in the dugout? JG: It's all a bit complicated at the moment, to be honest. There are one or two things that still have to be settled concerning my departure from Derby so I'm afraid I'm not sure. Dave, Loughborough
Are you keen to return to football management? JG: It's all a bit complicated at the moment, to be honest. There are one or two things that still have to be settled concerning my departure from Derby so I'm afraid I'm not sure. Row Z: It's quite clear that we can't really talk about your time at Derby County until the matters you talk about have been sorted out. Shall we move on to something else? JG: It's all a bit complicated at the moment, to be honest. There are one or two things that still have to be settled concerning my departure from Derby so I'm afraid I'm not sure. Tim, Leicester
You made no secret of the fact that you viewed the Aston Villa job as one of the biggest in English football. So how did you feel when you left? JG: It was a strange feeling, to be honest. I got home and just spent the next few days pottering about in the garden, almost in a daze. Graham, Birmingham
Do you find gardening is a good release from the pressures of football management? JG: I do, to be honest. When you're mind's running ten to the dozen and you're trying to sort out formations, team selections and tactics, it can all get a bit much. So it's great to be able to get out there, put the troubles to one side and just have a tinker. Glenn, West Ham
Are you a talented gardener? JG: I don't like to blow my own trumpet, to be honest, but let's just say everything in the Gregory garden is rosy! Glenn, Tottenham
John, I'm having terrible trouble getting proper growth out of my herbacious fringe. Any suggestions? JG: I think the answer lies in the soil, to be honest. Sometimes a high alkaline level in your soil can prevent reasonable growth. George, Highbury
The leaves on my shrubbery are turning yellow. Any advice? JG: That sounds like a lack of iron, to be honest. Most garden centres will be able to sell you an iron supplement pack. Mark, Millwall
When's the best time to prune my rose bush? JG: I always say the best time to prune is in the autumn, to be honest, as most species are dormant. Rose bushes always cause a lot of panic but if you follow a few simple steps, you should be fine. Cut out all the dead wood, then open out the centre of the plant and clip away any tangled or crossing branches - this allows the air to circulate. Finally, make sure you remove all the 'suckers' which may be growing below ground level from the base of the plant. Gianluca, Watford
Moles, John. My lawn's over-run with them. What can I do? JG: It is best to try and prevent moles from setting-up residence under your lawn in the first place, to be honest. Getting rid of them once they have arrived is very difficult. There are sonic deterrents which emit very high-pitched noise that the moles should find unbearable. In reality these have variable success rates. I would consider calling in a trained professional pest controller. Terry, Leeds
Not that we're coming into the winter months, what plants do you suggest to keep my garden colourful? JG: I find the Japanese Anenome to be a useful plant at this time of year, to be honest. It's easy to grow in most soils and positions but particularly useful to grow under trees or larger spring flowering shrubs. The great advantage with Japanese Anemone is the flowers are produced on long stems making it possible to produce the flowers above existing plants with in a border. Also consider Prunus Autumnalis Rosea and possibly Rudbeckia - or Goldstrum as it's more commonly known. Doug, Sutton Coldfield
What did you do with all my mo- Row Z: Unfortunately that's all we've got time for today. Thank you, John Gregory. JG: No problem at all, to be honest. Now, where did I put me trowel? *no they haven't - we've made the whole thing up. |
