How Hecky is dealing with speculation about his job

Paul Heckingbottom discusses how he deals with the scrutiny and pressure over his job at struggling Sheffield United

Transcript

00:00 Hi Paul, how are you personally coping with the kind of scrutiny and pressure that comes

00:06 with not winning for a while and how does it change what you do on a day-to-day, week-to-week

00:12 basis?

00:17 Coping with it and what is part of it, yes. I think when you're in this job and until

00:22 anyone has done it, I think sometimes results are the easy thing to take care of in the

00:27 football. I can't deny that results dictate how you feel a lot of the time, but the football

00:32 is the sort of business you're always in, what you enjoy doing. So from that respect,

00:39 try and focus on that and make sure that part of the job is always at the forefront for

00:42 me. Sometimes it's not and there's a lot of distractions. This is a distraction without

00:46 a doubt. But no, it's not particularly different. The job wouldn't be particularly different

00:56 if we were winning games. We would still be approaching things in the same way and expecting

01:01 the same levels and pushing. However, the questions you guys would be asking me would

01:06 be different and the noise around it would be different. That's the change. It doesn't

01:10 really change the job.
