00:00This will obviously sting the lock and the matter of it. Does the work start again tomorrow with a bit of time on?
00:07No, it doesn't. It's going to take quite a while to get over.
00:10We're hardened. As a manager, the amount of games I've played and managed the amount of games,
00:18this has not always been a fairytale scenario career-wise.
00:23I think you get judged on how you handle your good moments, which you'll enjoy.
00:31Regis and the Sunderland players and the supporters will enjoy their day today, and rightly so.
00:39I think it's how you get over the disappointments and the things that go against you.
00:44We have to own that because, as I said, if we'd have been tighter and smarter
00:48and we had not conceded those poor goals, which is pretty unlike us,
00:52we have kept a load of clean sheets and we've defended really well at times right the way through this season.
01:00But we find the counter-attack and we score or we find that final bit.
01:07But that's by the by. It's, as I said, how you deal with it.
01:13I'm not taught to the players, but they'll be hurting. We have to own it and suffer together.
01:19And most importantly, I'm just good for the supporters because they really showed us a massive amount of respect and energy going into this final.
01:28And not to reward them with a win and an opportunity to play in the Premier League is incredibly disappointing.
01:40What does this mean now for the future of the big players?
01:44Everything pans out, everything will take care of itself.
01:48But as you can imagine, Dan, I've not thought about futures personally or from a player point of view,
02:01being an hour and a half after an incredibly low point of everybody's careers really.
02:11The players will be incredibly hurting, the support will be, the coaching staff will be.
02:18But it is, it is what it is and we're going to have to deal with it.
