 First time we've had a chance to speak to you since you signed your new deal here, just to give you some thoughts on that. Absolutely delighted. It was something I wanted at the beginning but understood the reasons why. Obviously it's going to be a big summer this year so the sooner that we could get everything agreed and settled is just that it gives clarity for everybody, it gives clarity for the supporters who have been magnificent with me since I've arrived at the players and obviously for the club itself and for me. Did you mention that stability? How crucial is that because it's been quite a turnover of managers over the recent 18 months or so? Yes it is. I'm quite simplistic in the sense that for anybody that you look at in football that's had success in any league it comes from stability, it comes from a manager being in there and still playing style or philosophy, whatever you want to call it. The culture that's developed and the values that you lead by and live by on a daily basis, constant change doesn't do anything for that. I'm absolutely buzzing that we've got that sorted and from day one we've already been in there and instilled what we're about and getting more and more of that now. Gary, what have you seen in the club and at the club that's made you want to commit? It's a fantastic football club. In the short time I've been here with some fantastic people inside the ground that work down a valley parade and around the training ground. There's a good structure in place now with Julian and the fact that Julian was staying was a big part of my decision as well. I wanted to be part of the success that obviously he's had in the past years when he was being associated with the club. In the short space of time I've got a good working relationship with him already. I can see he's passionate for the club and wants the club to do well. That's half the battle when you've got somebody with his knowledge and expertise. Of your conversations with him at the moment, how much is focused on the here and now and the remaining games of this season and how much is looking beyond that? Lots of it. The conversations are both. The here and now is obviously important because I'm of the belief that we can still get out of the mess that we find ourselves in. At the same time I'm already looking at the summer and Julian is for sure because we know that it's going to be a massive one this season for the club. It's imperative that we get that right. Do you have to have two plans almost? A plan A for staying up and a plan B if you do get it? That's what's been happening. The beauty of being manager of Bradford City and the pull of the fantastic stadium and the wonderful support is that recently I've taken phone calls from agents and you're offering me players that want to come regardless. As I keep saying to them, I'm looking at next season as being in a league once. That's where we're at at this moment in time. Obviously for that to happen results have got to pick up. You said in your post match that you were happier with the performance than the previous week. What have you seen this week from the players on the back of that? Well, each week they're getting better in my opinion in terms of how we want them to play and how we want them to go about the work. Just watching them again this morning in training and the sessions that we do from where they were today in comparison to where they were three weeks ago, the improvements have been enormous from them. But we've got to keep that guy. We're fully aware that the challenge is getting greater and greater. But I'm a big believer that the greater the challenge, the greater the glory and that's it. That's the message that they've been hammered with this week. We're still fighting in this. The staff certainly are. I expect the players to be doing exactly the same come Saturday. It's a local derby. That adds it a little bit more spice to it as well. Given the position you're in when you're on the training ground each day, what are you specifically looking for from your players? Continuous improvement from everybody. It's both with the ball and without the ball. I thought last week we showed good strides in terms of off the ball. We needed to be a little bit more clinical in the final third and we've worked on that this week. At the same time, continued to work with patterns off the ball as well because that's important. We don't have the ball for nine minutes so you have to be able to do both and that's been the message. And are you feeling that that belief is there from the players as well? Definitely. They haven't, for a better word, sort of admitted that they're looking at next season. They're concentrating on Saturday and going game by game because football changes so quickly. We've seen it. I went to watch Berry versus Cambridge on Tuesday night. Everybody outside of Cambridge's dressing room would have said Berry will win the game because the second, third in the league didn't happen. So there's no guarantees and whilst there's that possibility, I'm still a big believer that we can do something in this season. How do you see that six-point gap? How bridgeable do you think it is? Six points. I just focus on one step at a time. For us, come five o'clock Saturday, we could be saying Saturday is sort of like looking at it going right, it's only three points. I've said all along it will go to the wire up and down the country last game, last minute and we've got to give ourselves a chance now to do that. We have to start winning football matches very, very quickly which starts on Saturday. Andrew News, what's the latest for this squad? Kelvin Meller is getting better, same with Calton Woods. Reeves, he's doing okay. He's doing okay. The good news this week for us is the short and scandal, whereas last week it just flared up a little bit and settled down very, very quickly. He played in the behind closed doors, friendly on Tuesday, scored, played 45 minutes and has had a good week so he comes into contention for Saturday. How important would it be to have Sean available to you? Massive because of what he gives us. He's got that pace, he's got that power, he's got the strength, he's got the experience of playing in a higher league and he will add something that we've probably not had in this squad for the length of time he's been out to be perfectly honest. As you say, you've got the goal and that must be crucial as I say it's what you need. No, definitely. He looked good for it and he goes straight back into the squad for us now because obviously we're running out of the games for him. He felt fine, everything that just stood up last week, it settled down and it's been fantastic for us. If he's not scoring goals, you hope he'll be great. Listen, he's a handful. He's a match winner and he can change a game. We're just a little bit of skill that he's got and he's pace and power and we saw that in evidence on the game on Tuesday. Don't get to this weekend. What's your assessment of them? They've done brilliant again. I think they're an example of what I was saying about stability in their squad. I thought Darren Ferguson, under Darren, they've done brilliant within getting them promoted that year and stabilising them last year and you just see through having that stability whether that's the manager or your core players, they kick on again and Grant's gone in there and done brilliant with them. In my opinion, he was harshly treated when he was at Peterborough but he's bounced back from that. He plays a good style of football and they present a challenge for us obviously but one we're really looking forward to.
