00:00Well, mate, if I accept that, what am I doing here, seriously?

00:04If I accept that, that this is somehow, you know, impossible to change, I'm really stealing

00:12the liver.

00:13Seriously, why am I here?

00:14I don't believe that, and I never have.

00:18And if I fail to do that, the failure's on me, it's got nothing to do with the club,

00:21it's on me.

00:22Because I know that coming into it.

00:23I know that the club hasn't won anything for X amount of time, I know the tag on the club,

00:28I know all these things when I accept the position.

00:30So it's no good me coming in now and saying, well, yeah, I accept the position, but you

00:33know what?

00:34I can't do this, this is impossible, this club is, doesn't matter who, I shouldn't have

00:38stepped into it.

00:39I made the decision to step into it, knowing all these things, the same thing you know,

00:44I know, it's not a secret, it's not like, it's only when you get in here, oh my God,

00:48I didn't know that, Jesus Christ, this club hasn't won anything for 14 years, can you

00:52believe it?

00:54You know, you accept that challenge, I accepted that challenge.

00:56So I'm not, I can't sit up here now and complain that it's hard, well no, that's why I'm here,

01:01and it's up to me to change that, and if I don't change that, the failure's on me, it's

01:05on no one else, because I've accepted that, so.

01:09And the reason I don't think the past is irrelevant, because I can't change that, I can't do anything,

01:13I wasn't here, I wasn't part of it, and maybe it was impossible, I don't know, but where

01:18I sit here right now, I don't see it as impossible, I think it is achievable and that's what I'm

01:23going to try and do with everything I have in my power to change.
