He's not that type of manager.

Yeah.

Well, Joe, you can talk to a better man than that.

Huh?

Yeah.

Coventry, you can talk to a better man than me for that.

Because you're doing well.

You finally found a team.

And these players are doing so well that the bigger clubs want them.

Initially it was Darren, sorry, Dion Dublin, got himself into the England squad.

Darren Huckabee around 98, that time of World Cup, the likewise.

And then it happens, you rebuild again, George Boateng leaves for a better team.

And of course, the biggest one, the biggest example is Robbie King.

And you're thinking, we've got a really good team here, but it's not sustainable.

Mid-tier Premier League teams, it's not sustainable if you produce these players.

And Palace...

they're just a victim of their own success.

And you can see the frustration with a manager.

I can imagine what it is like for the supporters that they've suddenly got a team that's just incredible in terms of winning the cup, potentially can win a European trophy this season.

And it looks like their team's just been decimated, cherry-picked for all their best players.
