 I thought the result and wanted to start off a bit with another keeper on the other end. The guy's not a done-fine, absolutely. Yeah, I think that's fair. I think Adam had a very good game, not surprised at all. Top keeper, obviously a good sign in for them, so it was one of them days where we probably had better chances. I think we played OK. I don't think we played brilliant, so I don't think they played brilliant. There was not too much in the game other than a deflected free kick, but if you, at any level, football, if you don't take your chances, you're probably not going to win games of football on that showed on the first game. No, an extra pressure. I think whenever you're in sport in general, there's pressure because you're expected to perform. You know, it takes a process sometimes as well, so there's no pressure on the players. Is there pressure on me? Maybe. I don't really think about that. I can't control that. What I can control is doing my job correctly, making the boys smile, setting the culture and environment within the football club, and then good players take care of themselves. So that's my process at the moment. Yeah, possibly. Listen, you know, hopefully after this game, I can actually draw a line under it because, you know, I was there for 11 games. You know, I wasn't there for three years, four years, and, you know, I think it's a good story because I left, but there's reasons why I left. All right. And that's that's part and parcel of it, which are my reasons, personal reasons, which I won't go into. But I did build that team. I enjoyed building that team. And we had some good times over, even though it was a short period of time. Now that focus has gone. My focus is on building this team. And I've got to rebuild this team and I'm slowly doing it. And I will. It won't happen overnight. We know that. But there is there's good aspects in game one. And obviously, there'll hopefully be more aspects in the game in Newcastle on Friday night. But it's it's part and parcel of sport and football that players move on and coaches move on. I want us to play more. I think you you see the way I think she glimpses the way I want to play. You know, trying to get players to do things that are probably a little bit uncomfortable to them is not easy. And then it's just working on it. It's coaching them. It's teaching them. It's showing them visually. It's showing them on the training field. And there might be a stage that if they can't do it the way I want to play, then it's different personnel. But there was lots of good things. We defended very, very well against a very good team who performed on that day. But we had our chances as well. We had very, very good chances on another day. If we have those, you know, I hope we have those clear cut chances in the game against Newcastle on Friday. And if we do, then I expect us to put those goals away. Yeah. And I thought Keanu was the best player on the field. I really did, you know, for someone so young. And I didn't really realise how good he was until I come here. You know, the little details, the attention to detail in his game is fantastic. He he wants to learn even when he's got small niggles or knocks he wants to train. He's a great kid and he's got big dreams as well, which is very important for players trying to reach the top of their game and the top level. So I thought he was the best player. Tas played very well as well. You know, so we had Tatey as well. I think Tatey went through a period in the first half where he lost his way a little bit, but in the second half he stepped on again. And obviously prior to me taking, making the substitution, he probably had his best period in the game. But I replaced him with Thomas who made his debut. So and that doesn't include Daniel as well. We've got some really good young players and we've got some young players that you haven't seen much of yet, but you will see during the course of the season and it's probably in the early part when he gets a little bit busy. So what I won't do is I will continue to play these young players. Yes, they'll make mistakes, but my job is to help them get through that because I keep hearing that players don't get given a chance. Well, this season they will get given a chance. Sometimes it'll work, sometimes it won't. But when it doesn't work, it's not the end of the world. They just go again. And when it does work and they're successful, there's suddenly not going to be the next one. The kid, you know, you just got to keep your feet on the ground and the boys have got to keep the feet on the ground as well. That's probably not the most COVID-safe behaviour from the crowd to pull at the moment. Are you expecting a bit of heat maybe on Friday night from Jetfans? I don't know, because obviously now I'm not a Jet fan. I don't know what they're going to do. You know, and they're entitled to their opinions and entitled to do what they want to do. And as I said, when I left, you know, I don't say too much. Sometimes it takes a big man to walk away and not say anything. It's easy to react and things. I don't do that. So I have respect for them. I had respect when I was there. And now my job is to firmly focus on Western Sydney. And if they want to do that, they'll do that. And if they don't, they don't. But people who know, know me, know the situation. Well, I don't think they'll boom because they've already wanted to try and meet up with me. So that's OK. Have you spoken to Bernie about what you're expecting? Also, what's your sort of, where he's at? Yeah, no, I haven't spoke to Bernie to be fair. I speak to him every day about trying to get better. I haven't spoke to him about him going back. You know, I don't need to do that. I think he's a season pro. He's got his own mind. You know, you can't make people do things. You know, I'm not going to make Bernie think this way or think that way. So he'll control it how he wants to control it. I know that he'll have a big impact in the game because he's a really good player. Yeah, well, it was a no-brainer for us to bring him in. I think he's got quality. We know that I worked with him in Vancouver for the season when I was here in 2018. I got him along from Crystal Palace because he was left out the 25-man squad. So I was sort of taking players out of that squad who were on big salaries. But we had to fit him in a salary cap league. And I've kept in touch with him since. And he done very well for me. He was on the verge of joining a club in Cyprus. And at the last minute, because we had space, we've got space, we had an international spot. And based upon the COVID circumstances as well, with exemptions, visas, and family situations, trying to get him in or not in, it was the right deal. You know, it's a short-term deal for him to come and enjoy his football. He wants to come and work with me. You know, and he'll add quality to this squad. He can play in a number of positions, whether it's in deep and midfield as a number eight. He can play as a wide player like he did for Malki Makayak Cardiff when they were in the Premier League, drifting in. He can score goals. And he'll be a good addition. And he's a good person as well. And he's good pro to having that locker room. Because as I said, bit by bit, I'm changing the mindset, the culture in that locker room. But it's not going to happen overnight. He's not played much in the last couple of years. What's sort of been going on with him at his last couple of clubs? Yeah, I think since 2018, when I think he played 20 games, I think he's probably lost his way a little bit just from, you know, players are funny people, all right? They'll look for excuses sometimes. They'll look for reasons about why they don't play. And sometimes it's as simple as they've been injured. Sometimes it's out of favour. Sometimes it doesn't fit with the right manager. You know, you join a club with the right intentions and the manager changes. And suddenly it's the wrong intentions. You don't become a bad player overnight. The one thing with Jordan, he's at a great age. He's still at a good age. He's got high level experience. And we're lucky to have him in a reduced number in our salary gap. So I'll take advantage of that and I'll try and work with him on a personal level because I know him. I know what type of kid he is. I know what he likes and what he doesn't like to make him a better player. And he said he probably had his most enjoyable time of football when he was working with me, even though he was at a Premier League club, which might tell you something. But you've also brought in the established stars from the A-League and, you know, to say, it's just probably a bit of a fine balance in the sense of a young experience. It is. Yeah, we lost some key players last year as everyone knows and everyone keeps reminding me. Mitchell Duke, we lost Yeoman. We lost the goalkeeper Daniel and we also lost Shregler in midfield. There was four big losses because four regular starters. So I tried to stop that gap, narrow that gap by bringing in James, by bringing in Bernie, Graham Doran's coming as well, and Ziggy Gordon, you know, and there was different circumstances with them. So I'm still looking to add. We've still got a lot of... We've still got Cat Room left. We still know we need to add and we can add. We've got roster spots available. So as part of my boss's job is to bring in players that are available that we think are not just short-term fixes but are able to help us in the long term as well. Jordan, because we bought him and he's 29 years of age, he's not 35, 36, and it's a six-month deal. He's trying to earn a contract here to be not just here this year, but on beyond. So it was a deal that was too good to turn down, but we've still got plenty of flexibility. Well, you've got to be realistic as well. All right, if I'm going to be talking about trying to get a 29-year-old Premier League player, I'm probably going to be paying 200,000 pound a week or something around those figures. That's not going to happen. All right, so you always have to get someone who's been injured, someone who's been out of favour, someone who's been left out of a 25-man Premier League squad, someone who's lost his way a little bit. And that's some part and parcel of being a salary cap league. We know that, but we do look all over the world. We also look for the dynamic in the locker room. As you said, we've got a good group at the moment, with Coxy, with Dylan, with Bernie, with Ziggy coming in and Graham. So the balance is getting better and it's good. What we want to try and add to that, we don't want someone who's at a left field that won't be part of that group because that's when problems can arise. And we're in a good place at the moment. I can never have enough good players. All right, and it's a question I get asked quite a bit and I'd say I'd prefer to have too many good players than not enough good players. Because if I was saying here that I'm three, four, five players short and I haven't got enough quality, you'd say, well, using that as an excuse, I'd prefer to have more good players because I can manage them. And coaching and management is part of managing people in general. So Jordan's got flexibility to play in a number of positions. As Jimmy as Graham has, Bernie can go and play up top. I get asked about a striker all the time, which is great. We've got Simon Cox, who's a visa player for us. We've got Kwame Yaboa. I've got Bernie Yabini. I've got young Ali Ogler. It's four players. And if I play one, I've got Nikolai Muller who can play in that floating role as well. There's five players. So I can go and get another one. That's not a problem. We're available to do that. But I've got six players. So two will start and four won't play. And I'm sure then I'll get a knock on my door and you'll be asking me why he's not playing. So again, it's about roster management. It's about deciding when we do it. But Mitch Duke was a big loss for us. We know that now it's time for someone else to step up. Well, there's more opportunities for younger players. You know, I think the coaches in the league now and there's a lot of Australian coaches and one or two foreign coaches will play the young players. But they'll play them when they're good enough. They'll play them when they're ready. You know, it's been a great first couple of weeks in the league and players have got given their chances. And they will continue to get given their chances by a number of clubs, but they have to be at a level. You know, it's not just for the sake of it. We're giving players the chances because they're good enough. And we've certainly got some really tight junsters at this football club and they will get given the chances when I feel it's right. And then once they play two or three games at a high level, which I'm sure they will for most teams, and then they get left out for managers' reasons because that's what they do, not just for the loading, the tactical reasons. I'm sure they'll get asked why they're leaving one of the best young players out. And that's part and parcel of managing expectations, people and dealing with situations. But as I said, when you've got five, six senior players, you've got a manager and when you've got four, five younger players, you've got a manager. That's part and parcel of life and business. Kyle, is it a bit funny to think now that the Wanderers are actually part owners of the Jets, doesn't it, Stan? Don't get me started, Vince. That's a way above my pay grade. I'm just a coach. I love coaching. I think it's important that the clubs have helped out Newcastle, even though I might get booed on the weekend, as you say, it's important that we want, Newcastle is a great city. We know that. It's the culture up there of football, not just with the Jets, but with the Knights as well. There's some passionate people out there. So it was important that they got help, and they did. And obviously, our chairman's been involved in that. Very pleased that they've been able to do that, so they survive, even though if they want to boom you, they can. I'm sure you know your MLS history as well, though that's something that's happened previously in that league when it was in a struggling period of being like we are now and it ended up well for them, so... Yeah, listen, it's important that you look after your own, first and foremost. And I said, our own is, there's only 12, 11, 12, so it's important you make sure that those clubs survive. And then also, to the new additions, we talk about MacArthur, but there's other teams that hopefully can come in over the latter period of next year and the year after. But it's important that you do everything you can to help people. Football's about, life in general's about helping people. If you don't want to help people, then you're not really a good person for me. So we've got a number of clubs here that have helped, for the right reasons, to keep Newcastle afloat because they've got good people up there. But having said that, we'll see on Friday. But yes, I was in MLS when that happened as well. I played for Toronto, I managed Vancouver, so I'm used to the nonsense that goes on. All right, good, thanks. You're welcome.
