In fairness Hound, he isn't moving to New York City. Rochester is a city in New York State, it's over 300 miles away from the bright lights and Times Square.

Akin to the distance between Doncaster and the Belgian city of Brugges.

Rochester has an annual international Jazz festival. Perhaps that's why Williams has gone.

May explain the issue with the previous manager. Wellens was probably Trad. Williams has the air of Bebop about him.

On you go Ed.
