00:00Ben Warhol once spoke about 15 minutes of fame. How are you enjoying 15 minutes of fame and how will you deal with the nerves come summer?
00:10It doesn't feel any different. I don't feel famous or other than a few other text messages than what you'd usually get but it honestly doesn't feel any different.
00:17I'm just focused on coming in every day, preparing the team as best we can for a positive result but it honestly doesn't feel any different.
00:26Is this a one-off or will you be going into next week as well? Have you been told just Sunday or have you been told to do it until somebody comes in?
00:36The brief is to prepare the lads for Manchester City on Sunday and that's honestly all I know at this moment in time.
00:44Right now you're an under-21 coach but I presume one day somewhere down the line you want to be a manager.
00:49Is this a good chance to showcase to millions of people around the world rather than a couple of hundred watching an under-21 game what you can do?
00:58No, I honestly don't see it like that. I see it as the team needs to be prepared and ready for the game on Sunday.
01:07And our job as a staff is to give them the best opportunity to perform in that arena, in that environment.
01:13It's not about us as a staff. I know that's the narrative but it's not. It's about giving the players the support they need to go and execute a performance.
01:21And finally, you're up against Pep Guardiola and most managers up against Pep Guardiola are underdogs. Have you got absolutely nothing to lose on Sunday?
01:29You personally, you as a team, you've got absolutely nothing to lose because of the situation, because of what's happened in the last 24-48 hours?
01:37I think that we know we're up against a really good team in really good form, a great manager. But we've got a really good team. We've got a really good talented group of players.
01:50So I wouldn't say we have nothing to lose. We're going to go there and try and give a really good account of ourselves and put in a performance like we've seen from this team previously.
02:00So I wouldn't say we have nothing to lose now.
02:02I wouldn't say we have nothing to lose now.
