Martin O'Neill

So that's, yeah, I do actually, not that I should ever feel sorry for players, but I, well, I actually don't, but really, but it does take a bit of adjusting.

know that people are breathing down their neck Michael you can hear it how important is this transfer window Martin and he always asked about it today I think it'll be I think you're right I think it'll be crucial I think it's really important for us as well to get some people in to supplement the squad you know I keep saying that

And I'm hoping that we'll be able to do it because I think that all the two clubs you're talking about will see this as an opportunity to bolster their squads.

And what they do is entirely up to them.

But yeah, we will need to do something.

Speak very well, exactly.

Well, I suppose I know the players a little bit better than I did a few weeks ago, which is better news, or fewer surprises, anyway, in that sense.

But it's nice to see them again.

A few things have happened since then.

I don't think so, no.

I just think that they'll just have to go for it now.

The season has been narrowed down now to 18 games, so it's everything to play for.

So hopefully they're ready for it.

The pressure's starting to turn up a little bit, I think, on Hearts now with my own club.

I wonder whether I would have the capacity to go and carry on.

And also, I'm 112 next birthday, so I think time is kind of running out for me.

Would I like to try and do well in it?

Who knows what the board might think, but I would not be, and I'm serious about this, I wouldn't be thinking any longer than the end of the season for me, regardless of what happens.

I do know that the young lad has joined us from Bournemouth for a start.

And I obviously didn't know anything about that.
