00:00Have you spoken much to Erik since Monday?
00:03Yes, I've seen him Monday here and I've spoken to him yesterday before the game.
00:09Obviously very disappointed and touched because he really cared for the club.
00:15I said also yesterday that in the first conversation we had over talks,
00:20for me to come back to the club with him, I really felt that he cared and loved the club
00:27and wanted to bring this club forward and that's why we connected.
00:32That's why he's also heard that he had to leave,
00:37but also proud of his achievements here with the two Cubs
00:40and obviously the history that he's leaving with that.
00:44Can you explain why it's not worked out?
00:47When we saw everyone in Los Angeles in the summer,
00:51there was a lot of optimism around the club, the signings came in,
00:55it seemed as though everything was aligned and ready to go forward and it's just not happened.
01:01No, I think in the end it's also clear in football that it's the results,
01:07and Erik also said, as you say, in pre-season we had a new staff
01:15and all very positive and working hard to bring the club forward.
01:19Obviously, there are things you can't explain sometimes.
01:25I also remember the Brighton goal we scored,
01:29Ghana, Villar, Josh in, and then you concede the 2-1.
01:34There have been so many games where we felt that we could get a better result for the way we played,
01:42I'm talking Palace, I'm talking West Ham, I'm talking Fenerbahce, I'm talking Porto.
01:46But in the end we also know that it's about results, this game,
01:51and that's part of it, of our jobs.
