If I'd have said to Peter Ridgedale, he'd have never grown.
And Peter Ridgedale was good to work for in the way that he never tried to interfere with your team or pick the team in that way.

Can they go to that next level?
They look very impressive and they do well and they do well and then they find that level.
I think a lot of those lads didn't kick on the way they should have kicked on.
I think he ran past you once, right?
I think he didn't go on to what everybody thought he'd achieve.

I said to him about Alan Smith and Alex was, excuse me, more thinking of
you have a big Champions League game midweek, want to rest somebody, Alan Smith would be a good fit playing that league game.

I think he's a perfect fit to that way.
But I remember Alex ringing me up that night, he broke his leg.
