00:00The next question that will be on repeat though, is what clarity are you hoping for on your own future, short-term and then beyond this season as well?
00:06Well, as I said, other than the obvious one to all managers, winning games, you know, that always stands you in good stead.
00:12Other than that, he made it quite clear face-to-face and happy for me to tell you that they've got nothing other than the support from me, the staff and the team.
00:20Like I say, you've got to win games, that's a natural process, but yeah, nothing but support, no other thoughts on anything other.
00:26How much do you want to stay beyond the summer?
00:28Yeah, well, if, because you can never guarantee these things by the way. We've seen how the Premier League works and money, no money, all the challenges and, you know, everyone thinks money corrects everything.
00:38Of course, it often makes you more powerful and gives you a better scope, but it doesn't guarantee.
00:43Well, let's say after 22, 23 months of really, really hard work, it would be pleasant to at least try and have a moment when you can look forwards and try and, you know, improve.
00:55I mean, beyond the natural improvement of trying to work with the coaches and the team and that kind of improvement and development, then the possibility of having more flexibility.
01:04But as I said, there's still things that need corrected from the club anyway. The PSR situation still needs correcting and working, you know, to make sure that's in place.
01:13So it's not an immediate change, but I think it'd be nice to have a sort of a viewpoint where you think it's a little bit more stable than since I've been here when it's virtually always been sold, not sold, sold, not sold.
01:25So we'll have to wait and see how it goes from here.
01:27I don't want to put words into your mouth, but is there a feeling that you almost deserve a chance at a new stadium, given what you've had to deal with?
01:33I'm not. I said when I got out, you know, as I see management, particularly of a club with history, it's because you're a custodian, you know, and so far, despite the ins and outs of every weekly results, then I know the job that I've done so far.
01:48But it's a so far story. You know, there's still lots to do. I've said that endlessly. It's an ongoing challenge.
01:53This might bring, as we're speaking about, a more solid feel and a stable feel because of all the ins and outs of possible change of owners.
02:00There's no magic wand, I don't think. But, you know, it'd be nice to think all the work is for good reason.
02:07And there's been a lot of good work, not just by myself, by the way, by a lot of people who have worked very, very hard through a very tough period and continue to do so.
