 Gary, day one out of the way yesterday, day two, what are you, how have you found the last 24 hours? Hectic, exciting, but no, I'm delighted to be here, I've really enjoyed being back in work and the phone's been non-stop as you can imagine, but people wishing us all the best and you know, plenty of encouragement and support to try and get us out of the bottom four initially and then, you know, we've got to try and kick on. The deal came about very quickly on Sunday, you've agreed a short-term contract with the club, is it just a case of just focusing on these last 11 games at the moment? Yeah, definitely, I think, like you say, it all happened very quickly on Sunday afternoon and my main aim was just to get in here as quickly as possible and not to waste any time so, you know, we got it all done very quickly and I was in here on Monday morning and delighted and you know, it's an honour and a privilege to be manager of Bradford City, it's a massive club I could have easily stayed at home watching the cricket, I've enjoyed the cricket and just put the smack in the West Indies all over the place but you know, it's a challenge that I'm really looking forward to and it was the pull of the club and the pull of the supporters because I know what it's like, a packed stadium at the Valley Parade and you know, we need their help, I know that what's been has been we can't change that now but we need their support and we've got to give them something to cheer about but you know, it's a two-way thing, we need their help as well. You mentioned the challenge, it is a challenge on your hands are you confident you can get something out of this challenge? I wouldn't be here if I didn't believe, honestly, if we couldn't get out of it you know, I look at the squad, I think we've got some very talented footballers what we have to do now is really make sure that we stick together first and foremost and that's the players and the supporters, everybody's connected with Bradford City you've got to stick together now and have a very good go and it means the players are taking responsibility and accountability for the performances and other staff, you know, making demands on them and working them ever so hard and hopefully we can reap the benefits then on the pitch and you've got to go straight up against two of League One's best teams in the next seven days, that's the immediate challenge isn't it? Yeah it is, you can only go, I know it's an old cliche but we can only go one at a time which is Saturday Peter, bro Darren Ferguson, I know well and he's got promotion with them twice and after Saturday I wish them all the best and hope he can do it again but on Saturday we're beginning to try and get three points as they will but the lads have trained well so far I've told them about my excitement for the club I've told them about the demands I expect of them and it's been well received and the way they went about it yesterday leaves me with a lot of promise and hope What do you make of the squad you've worked with a few of these guys which I guess is a benefit? Yeah definitely, you know, at Pau de O'Connor I had a black pool briefly I'm Kelvin Meller, I've worked with Anthony O'Connor and there's several others there that I've tried to sign previously so I've spoken to them on the phone but yesterday we came in and they were very good, they were very receptive I made sure that I got around everybody and had conversations with everybody and just outlined what I expect of them and what I will demand of them It's a clean slate for some guys so it will be a window of opportunity for just about everybody left at the club at the moment Yeah definitely, I looked at the squad yesterday I think we had 19 fit bodies training so it's not the biggest of squads we've got a couple of injuries which hopefully they'll come back in the next week or two which would strengthen us, which is what we need and like you say it's a clean slate for everybody and they have to earn the right to play on a Saturday and then once they've got the shirt it's up to them to keep it and the way that they do that is by running hard, closing people down and playing good football And just lastly you've brought Colin Todson and Anthony to the club as your assistant is it someone you know well you've worked with in the past? I've worked with Anthony for the last two years I've known him for a long long time I think he was 16 when he arrived at Forest and I was about 18 so I've known him a long time he was a top class defender in the Premier League and so hopefully his expertise and knowledge he can pass on to our defenders and you know make us more difficult to beat
