00:00It's really nothing to explain.
00:04I am always in conversation with a club I worked with,
00:07and I worked two years with them.
00:09I have a good relationship with them.
00:13And for them to progress conversation
00:16and speak to me even further,
00:19they had to do what Wales done with them.
00:22When Wales wanted to speak to me when I was working with Burnley,
00:25you had to get permission.
00:26And then we have a conversation.
00:30Burnley got into the conversation with Wales
00:34because you have to do it right, you know.
00:37And I always try to be up front.
00:39If anyone contacts me, I speak to Wales straight away.
00:43I speak to Dave. I speak to Noel.
00:46I'm transparent in everything we do.
00:48And then I had a decision to make, and I made that decision.
00:53And that for me was a stay. It was as simple as that.
00:57I've seen what went out.
00:58It's not for me to talk.
01:04This is the first time I'm talking about it.
01:06And I made a decision to stay
01:09because this is the right place for me.
01:12Now, I know there was a lot said about
01:15the best job in the world.
01:17Every job I am at is the best job in the world.
01:20Like when I was doing Anderlecht Under-21s,
01:22it's the best place in the world.
01:25So to me, it was I had a decision to make,
01:29and I made that decision.
01:31I spoke to Noel in the morning,
01:33let him know my decision.
01:34Then I spoke to Burnley.
01:36And it was as simple as that.
01:38I can't control the narrative and what goes on after that.
01:41Nor do I ever want to get involved in trying to control it.
01:44Let it be.
01:46When I have a chance to talk, then I'll talk.
01:48And this is it.
01:49I think I've always shown people respect
01:53when someone goes out of their way,
01:55like I did with Wales when I was already working at Burnley.
01:58Wales wanted to speak to me.
02:00Of course, you have to then get clearance
02:03because I believe that's the right way to go.
02:06They did.
02:07And it's the same the other way.
02:09So you have a conversation.
02:12And to me, I was already in a role.
02:16And I don't know.
02:18I had more, this was it.
02:21This is what I wanted.
02:23So, yeah, it was flattering as well.
02:25I think we all like our ego being exercised and being wanted.
02:31So that was, you know, that's not a problem.
02:34But to me, it was, you know, just me, my partner, my kids.
02:39This was the place.
02:41And we didn't see anything else being able to move that.
02:44I know the game.
02:46It's all I know.
02:47I know what comes in.
02:49I know what gets said.
02:50I know what doesn't get said.
02:51I know how this can be looked or what can be.
02:53And I know a next result is always important.
02:57And I know a bad result is always important.
