00:00But let's also boil it down to exactly what he said.

00:02He said it's a must-win.

00:04Wolves have to beat Burnley.

00:06Now, we know that.

00:08The fans know that.

00:09People are going to think that.

00:11But for a manager to say it, it depends how you look at it.

00:15It's either very, very brave or it's very, very naive, or it's both.

00:21Because for him to say that now, and there's not to have got a huge respect for Vitor Pereira,

00:27and I think he's done lots of very good things.

00:29But look, there's been lots of questionable subs recently.

00:31There's been lots of things that we've spoken about that have been questionable

00:34and have been criticised fairly, I think.

00:39But going into this game, but also after this game, if Wolves fail to beat Burnley,

00:45me and lots of other journalists have got no choice but to ask him very, very direct questions of,

00:50well, you've just failed to win this game.

00:52You said it was a must-win.

00:54Where do you go from here?

00:55Is your future on the line?

00:58What is the next step?

00:59And he's sort of left it open.

01:00It's almost an own goal, really.

01:02He's left himself open for those questions and those criticisms.

01:04And that would be the part of me that thinks that it was ill-advised, really, for him to say that.

01:11Look, again, play devil's advocate.

01:13People will look at it and say, well, you know, he's been honest.

01:15He's been open.

01:16Let's judge him based on the game and the results going forward.

01:19But I think it's only fair for me just to say exactly how I felt about it.

01:22And that's, for me, my assessment.

01:24All right.

01:25All right.

01:26All right.
