I was perhaps a bit hasty but did have the full intention to retire, |
I work with him every day and I don't see any desire missing. I hope that's the start of a run for Alan. |
I'm not selling the club to him any more. I don't think I have to - the tough part was getting him here. We all said that, if we were to get him here, he would take to the football club, the area and the people. I think he's done that. The people have certainly taken to him - not only on the football pitch, but off it as well. They've made him feel very welcome and he's grateful for that. He likes the area, which I think is a big plus. |
I'm sure the public will be behind us. We all realize it's going to be a tough fight. We've got to roll our sleeves up and get three points tomorrow. We've got 26 points, we've got to have 29 by the time Saturday night comes along. Once we get on the pitch it's up to us. |
I've always said I'd like to give management a crack one day, but I'm not ready for this big club yet. It's a massive club with a great following and whoever gets it right will have great job on their hands because it is a big, big football club. |
I've heard about offers from other clubs... and it's flattering. Obviously I'm doing something right. |
I've never wanted to leave. I'm here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well |
If the manager said I wasn't going to be a regular I'd have to consider things, |
In the games I have seen, his touch has been good |
It is hard because it looks as if it (their goal) is handball. But that is the way things are going for us at the moment but we have got to stick together and work hard. |
It was a blatant dive. There was absolutely no contact and I thought that at the time. |
It was a tremendous turnaround because we were rubbish in first half. |
It would be absolutely huge, as it would be for 95 percent of the Premiership clubs. I've spoken to him and tried to convince him. We're in there fighting for him. |
It would have been easy for me to go out there and stick one on him because that is what I wanted to do, ... He has done me, it was blatant. The referee was five yards away and he did nothing. |
It's a huge game for us. Defeat is not worth thinking about. |
