Somewhere along the line you've got to do your apprenticeship. But I'd want half a chance of being successful at it.
It doesn't matter that I didn't win a trophy because I did it my way and I lived the dream.
Glenn is the one who gets us up. He is the one who is preparing the team, who is coaching us and who is talking to us before and after games. He deserves all the credit and we now have something to go for for the rest of the season. I can only hope we can repay him and all the supporters.
Our season starts now. Whatever has happened in the previous month or so, it's gone. We can't change that. Our season starts as of Saturday against Fulham.
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.
He has done me, it was blatant. The referee was five yards away and he did nothing.
Getting one result can lead to another and another, and we have now had six.
We have to kick on now and go on a run of games unbeaten,
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.
That's the way he manages. He was like that when he was appointed and he won't change so people shouldn't complain,
