00:00Do you feel he was referring to you when he talked about being thrown under the bus?

00:04The only one who can answer that question is Mo himself, so I can guess,

00:08but I don't think that's the right thing to do in this moment of time,

00:11so it's hard for me to tell who he means in that situation, to be honest.

00:19Do you feel your relationship has broken down with him?

00:22No, that's not the way I feel, but he has the right to feel how he feels things.

00:28I haven't felt that at all till Saturday evening for sure,

00:34because I think when I didn't play him anymore,

00:41usually players don't like the manager then that much,

00:43but he was very respectful to my staff members, to his teammates,

00:49and he trained really hard, so to an extent it was a surprise for me

00:55that when I heard after the game that he gave the comments he gave.

00:59I think my reaction to that is also clear,

01:02and that he's not here with us tonight.
