Ange Postecoglou

for this football club, which we know what that means, but also Champions League, Champions League money.

So, again, I'm obsessive about the game.

I did a deep dive on, okay, who's won the Europa League in recent times?

Unai's won it three times.

Jose's won it.

Oliver Glasner's won it.

I think Diego's won it.

Simeone's.

There's a thread through there of the kind of football because it's different from the Champions League.

The Champions League is a bigger variance of quality.

The top teams in the Champions League to the bottom, massive.

And you always get the best teams kind of winning it.

In the Europa, it's not that much because, you know, the sort of teams from the Premier League compared to the teams that finish fourth or fifth in Germany or Spain, it's quite competitive.

What I saw what they were doing, well, they were playing pretty risk-free, very strong defensive organisation.

And if we could somehow create that model for the Europa League with the players I had, and key to that was Van der Wijn and Romero.

And, you know, I did have discussions with the players.

I mean, I was being...

a bit sort of facetious about it.

But, you know, I wanted them to buy into it because it was a little bit of a departure.

But they were all in for it.
