00:00 How fitting is it that this weekend you face David Moyes' side as well?

00:03 Yes, I mean, the twists of life are weird and wonderful.

00:06 I've always got on well with Moyes, he's always been very supportive of myself when I was younger,

00:11 as a younger manager, so I look forward to seeing him.

00:14 But it's just a strange one that we happen to be playing a manager who meant so much to the chairman and vice versa.

00:19 So, yes, but anyway, it'll be good to see him anyway to catch up.

00:23 And then obviously, with all the news this week.

00:26 In some ways, is that what you're trying to achieve here in a relatively short term,

00:31 trying to build the kind of foundation that David Moyes, Bill Kenwright, put in during David Moyes' time in charge here?

00:36 I think somewhat. I think, you know, my own interpretation and version of it.

00:40 But I think there was a lot of good around that period about the strength of the club,

00:44 the team and the connection, things I've spoken about, you know, and I think it's still valid even in the modern era.

00:50 And it seems such a short time ago, but of course, it was quite a while ago now.

00:53 But amazing, I think it was 11 years, Moyes, you had it, wasn't it?

00:56 Yes, 11 years. I mean, amazing.

00:57 I used to look from a distance, marvel at his sides.

01:00 I know a few of the players, Timmy Kale, obviously, who I played with at Millwall,

01:04 and created a real, a tough side, but a good side, you know, with real underlying quality.

01:09 And I think we've been trying to sort of get, not necessarily mirror that by any means,

01:13 but sort of make a version of that for what the club can use now and then going forward.

01:18 So I think there are some characteristics of his sides and the way they work that we definitely want here.
