I’ve got to get hectic and get some gamers signed, and those gamers have actually undoubtedly got to fit the requirements that I desire – not simply the capability, however the character. Character is going to be substantial. Every effective group that I’ve remained in – whether that’s as a gamer, as an assistant, or as a supervisor, has actually had a significant work principles, a significant will to win, and a significant togetherness, so I require to sign the best characters, that’s for sure, certainly.

They will run themselves into the ground, and on any provided Saturday, we will win, lose or draw – I can’t manage that – the only thing I can manage is how difficult those gamers work, and they will work themselves into the ground.
