00:00I am absolutely independent both of the various football authorities but also of government and actually everything I've done in
00:07this job is to prove that independence and it is quite clear that any political interference from any party in
00:15what we're doing and politicians love to meddle in football, all politicians of all parties, actually the moment they start
00:21meddling in what we're able to do and in the way we're able to operate then we'll take an extremely
00:26negative view of that and if need be I will resign.
00:30There's a consequence of it but I don't actually think that's going to happen. We have not come under any
00:34political pressure from any political party since we've been established over the last 15 months.
