Then they've got the two weeks.
I think the person they were going to get was Martin O'Neill.
And I took the Forest game and I just thought, kissed everybody's backside and just thought, I'm not going to be here and let the players get on it.
And it was a rank average game.
And...
Then we had this two-week gap.
I was going in every day, taking the lads training.
When are you going to be told to go?
And that way, two weeks arrive, next, I'm taking the next game.
What's up?
Then we've got Roma away and...
Then I hear that... Were you enjoying it?
I was enjoying it, but I thought to myself, after that, I'm going to do my way now and pick the right players, what I think, what I've been telling to George, and I'm going to pick it and do my way.
I'm not going to be here, but at least if I'm going to be here for two or three games, I am going to do it the way I want to do it.
We went out to Rome, got the game, and all the directors and that weren't really thinking...
talking to me or anything else, but there was a thing on the following day after the result in Rome, Martin O'Neill signs a new contract at Leicester, in that way, and the director sent me, get off the plane at Leeds, David, where are you going now?
I said, I'm going home.
He said, could we come and see you this evening?
And came along and said, they'd like you to have the job.
And I rang Michael Kennedy and Michael said, I'll come up tomorrow and discuss it with him.
