00:00Just the impact you've made so far, is that what you expected in the time you've had or have you kind of exceeded it?
00:05I know you're obviously confident you could come and improve the team.
00:07Yeah, I haven't had any thoughts about it that way, I'm still looking at what we're not doing well enough.
00:16Yeah, I don't know.
00:19I'm pleased with lots of things that I've seen.
00:23I'm confident that we can keep improving, that's it.
00:27Like I said, we've come in at a strange time, the recruitment has been done and there's nothing to think about other than the performance of the team and getting messages across to players.
00:42There's been similarities now we want to set up in every single game, but ultimately we will always be judged and make decisions based on results.
00:56If we can improve performance, that affects the results.
00:58So, yeah, all the decisions are based on the XI we pick, the shape as such will be based on what we think is going to give us the best chance to win.
01:07Are you quite clear about what the next steps will be and what you'll need maybe going forward?
01:11Is that something that happens all the time as you're going along?
01:13Yeah, but then there's always so many factors that determine if you can do it, whether it's money, whether it's the players themselves, opportunity, competition from other people.
01:25Yeah, and that's the reason I hate the transfer window.
01:29Have you got to try and enjoy the challenge because you've obviously been a championship promoter in the Premier League?
01:33Is this the bit you've got to kind of enjoy almost because if you get there, it's tough, isn't it?
01:39Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, how can I put it?
01:43You get in the way of working now, like it's Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday.
01:51So you're like just on that treadmill over and over.
01:53So if you didn't enjoy it, you're not going to last very long.
01:58So enjoy it.
02:00Trying to win. The games are great.
02:03Today I've done all the boring bits in terms of preparation.
02:07Tomorrow for me will be good because it's the day before a game, back with the players, trying to get ready to play.
02:12And that's the bit that I try and enjoy the most.
02:16Yeah, so do enjoy it.
02:17Yeah, yeah.
02:19But no, I would enjoy being in the Premier League a lot more.
02:22That's where we, you know, for me, I know, listen, fans are mighty.
02:26Burnley fans, football fans, a lot of them know I prefer to win every week than beat up.
02:30But when you're in it and it's about competing and winning, you just want to win.
02:35It's about achieving things and they're the bits that give you the most satisfaction.
02:39Whether it's a cup win, whether it's a promotion, they're the bits that you'll always remember, you know, when you're finished.
02:44So, yeah, for me, it's all about, yeah, achieving things like that.
