At what extent are you looking to give that very part in your decision? Well, a little bit. I've also liked to think I've been a successful championship manager as well.

And just enjoying watching football, it was a welcome back to football on Tuesday night and that was a welcome back to football. I stood on the touchline on the Tuesday night and getting to better hapus for the following morning so being thrown in the deep end but that is what I like.

So y dypa eich anodd yn ei dan y gyfano. Rydych yn swydd mewn beth a'r arall sy'n gofio? Rydych yn ei wneud gan gfrannu'n gwneud, a'r talog adael am gynnalu'r y gweithio, I'm not seen them play a lot, but I threw it through due diligence. Since I've been out of work I keep an eye on all levels of football and worked very closely over the last few days with Greg Abbott and Kenny Black and the rest of the staff to get to know the players. There must be doing something, right, because they've not been out of the top 6 in 18 months. Felly, all we need to do is tweak a few bits and bobs which me and Glamir's assistant will do, restore a little bit more confidence back into the group which has obviously been affected with the results that have happened. But you saw the other night, fantastic attitude, a desire to get back into a game and there's some talented players that can play at a higher level. As we've said already, we've been very successful at this level and that's what has hired. What do you think is different about playing one with a few ring to this club? Well I think in current terms of league one you've got to be consistent, you've got to have probably a style of playing, you've got to be players that have to adapt to it. Championship is a different level, a little bit more technical than this level, you've got to be able to compete. But you've got to be consistent, you can't be up and down too much, you've got to get consistent results which will get you over the line if possible. We know football fans are tribal, you've managed at league, you've managed at hospital, do you foresee any problems with the fans there? Look, I've got a problem whatsoever, I've got thick skin, I've managed Blackpool and Preston so it doesn't bother me whatsoever. The only way you can get supporters on your side if you've got them against you is by winning football matches and that can change round very quickly. So I've got no problems for that, I'm too long in the tooth to worry about what people think about me. On that subject, how much of a specific reputation do you need to develop for getting teams from league one into the championship because of what your chief agrees? And you assume that your brief here at Rafa has got me down the same? Look, no matter what level I've worked at, I've always tried to be successful so if it means being in league one and getting four promotions previously, that's what I've done. Even when I've taken teams up, I've been successful. I took leagues to seventh in the division, eighth in the division, but I feel we're top half for large parts until I've got that. Preston, I've had two top 11 finishes with bottom three budgets. I like to think I'm a good recognised championship manager who knows what he's doing. I've got 650 games under my belt at whatever level, do whatever is required to win football matches, whether it's league one or league other championship. Hopefully that will be the case from now to the end of the season and longer. You've got many other offers? I've had four or five offers, both home and abroad. It was just one of them and considered for one or two other jobs as well, which didn't come towards me. But ultimately it was all about being at the right time at the right place. This is one that's certainly attracting me because of many different aspects of it all. Do you have the gap before the next game a week on Saturday? Is that going to help you? I think it is. I think it's from Sunday where it's been a whirlwind of me and the staff on Sunday night to meeting the players on Monday. Very little training because we're preparing ready for the game on Tuesday night. We've been very much sort of non-stop for everybody. We've been back in this morning. The players are now off three days off to recover after a busy schedule and get them revitalised ready for the rest of the season now. So I think it's come at a good time. It gives me a chance to work with the players next week, but also it gives them a chance to have a bit of a time away from each other to get to revitalise both the mines and the legs as well. Charm away on a Tuesday night plin of the way on Saturday. Do you think your mum wants to take the job? Yeah, maybe I should have waited a couple of more weeks, I think, to a little bit more. Did you get your first home game? You must be looking forward to that in Valley Parade and what everything that's in town. Well, yeah, definitely. Sort of at the weekend I had one of my staff was here watching when we were close to the negotiations being completed to sort of see what the team were like. I've been here many times. I was here pre-season with someone so I know what this club is like and what the way it's the part that they have and the backing that they create and the atmosphere that they can create. So, again, it was typified on Tuesday night when we were at 850 fans down at Chowton on Tuesday night. So it's a big football club in terms of the following. What we've got to do is try and win a few more matches to really give them something to cheer about. What are your first impressions of the squad that you've seen in playing in competitive surroundings? You've seen them in training perhaps once, twice. What are your first impressions? Well, as I said earlier, I think they've certainly got some talent about them. I think they showed a lot of character the other night after being on the back foot for the first 30 minutes of the game. But from then on, we've been far better teams and they put the bodies on the line. So they've got some different qualities in terms of, as I mentioned, they can handle the ball, some of them, some are more defensive than others. We've got to put it all together to make sure that everything that we do ticks and it can get them back on track to a certain degree. So you asked the elephant in the room, your contract length. Could you explain what it is? Well, first and foremost, contracts don't really mean anything. I had a three-year deal at Sutherland and left after four months. But I've signed till the end of the season. Bradford were very pushing, trying to sign a longer deal and a very long deal. But it was on my terms that I came that I just wanted to come till the end of the season, assess how the football club is, work out where I think we need to be. So I've signed, but there's plenty of preparation and planning going for me to be here next year. So I can't say any more than what the football club tried to do, but it was on my terms that I wanted to come just till the end of the season. Yes, certainly. As I said, the owners were desperate to sign me a long-term deal. But I said to them, the only way I'll come is because I wanted to assess the football club, work out how things can work. But on the other side of that, I'm still planning for next year. We'll still go the next week or so, ten days. We'll be talking about recruitment for players. We'll be planning pre-season. What we need to change around the football club, both the training ground here. So I'm planning to be here for the long term, but the contract is just the end of the season. I've got no problem with that and the owners have had no problem with that. Is there an option clause at contracts? Please stay long if you want to? No option clauses. It's basically that we'll sit down and talk from the end of the season or even before the end of the season. We're very open and relaxed about the situation. I keep saying it, the owners could not do enough to entice me to come to this football club with a very long contract. But I just thought that the way I'm at this morning's time of my career, I want to assess the whole situation and leave things a bit open as such. But I am planning for the long term in terms of the recruitment and players and pre-season preparation. You had a priest as a player, Simon. A lot of people remember. And times were different then. But in the modern situation, where would you say Robert City sits in the Yorkshire Football Community? What's its potential? I think again you just look at the size of the fan base and it can be a recognised championship club. Because it wasn't so long ago that it was a championship club and ultimately a premiership club before that. It's been through some dark times recently, just in league one. But it's a fantastic opportunity because of the community and everything that's connected with it to be one of the bigger clubs into the championship. Everybody who's sport outside who's involved in football says it's an opportunity to be at a great football club and a big football club again. Because you have opportunities to go to certain clubs and you're not going to get half as many in the crowds. You come in and it's 19,000 and that is beating a lot of figures even in the championship at this moment in time. So it shows what it's capable of being like and the bit of more look along the way, a little bit more positivity then it can get back to where it once was. Can you see an obvious flaw in what is going on here at the moment that I was interested in hearing you say that you'll change certain things? Or managers do that? Is there an elephant in the room? As Simon said, is there something that hasn't been wrong for ages that needs to change that? I haven't been here long enough to really think there's any real big fundamental problems. I think people don't understand the game. You don't realise that the team needs to be a little bit harder to play against. To be in the top six and have a minus goal deficit tells you something that we need to be harder to play against. Stop the goals from going in and stop the opposition from playing. So on Tuesday night we tried to be a little bit more harder to play against and I think the play showed that. Obviously we conceded a goal but we were putting the bodies on the line. Again, I said earlier that Stuart did a fantastic job here and my attitude will not be to make radical changes. One, I haven't got enough time to do it. Two, I don't need to do that because the group of players will take ages to understand your philosophies. That can all work to the summer. So it's about just tweaking little things to make us better. What do you say, do you think, as they are at the moment, that you can finish top six? We've got to believe that and certainly it's an achievable thing without a shadow of doubt. It's going to be a lot of twists and turns from now to the end of the season. I think when it gets to this stage of the season, different type of results happen. You've just seen Wiganloo's last couple of games and drop out of the top position for the first time in a long, long time. I did say to the players over the last few days that if you're going to have a blip, have it in January. Don't have it in March, April time because you're not going to recover from that. We've now got 14 games to recover from the first blip of the season. Every team have a blip in the season. Let's make sure that it's not March time and we can be positive with the results that we can have. You said you have people here on Saturday. You obviously saw Tuesday's game. One of the things that's been said prior to those two games, have you seen the confidence at the moment with the fact that points are now on the ball again? I think even as much as everybody was hugely disappointed considering such a late goal on Saturday, it stopped the rock. That was a basics what had happened and potentially could have lost the game given how the game had panned out. You could sense the positive vibe in the dressing room. Everyone was absolutely buzzing that we'd got a good result against a strong team and how well we'd played and yet confidence has taken a bit of a hit and that's part and parcel of what we need to sort of tutor to rediscover that fine line of being confident and unconfident and hopefully we're getting that back quickly and that's what me and Glyn have been thinking very good at doing over our careers in the management game because we try and get the best out of the players and make them feel happy in what they're doing.
