And I said, ironically, I'm a better manager now than I was when I went to Stoke.

And that's been the big learning curve.

Look, I'm not saying, look, it's been a wonderful year for me, because it hasn't, and it's been tough.

And I'm sorry I didn't do that work and get Stoke to the place I felt I could.

But for me, I'm in a fine place in all aspects of my career now.

You do, but characters, it's more characters.

I don't think it's players.

I think it's characters.

You have to manage different characters.

Now, look, I had been, and people say, yeah, but you worked at, you know, in League Two, League Two players.

No, it's not, because I worked with you at Brighton.

You were a Premier League player.

You're an international player.

I knew what I was going to get from you day in, day out when you came in to train.

I knew exactly where from you, Matty Epson, England international, Leo Joa, you know, all these international players.

So I've worked with a higher, you know, a top level player.

It's just what I enjoy doing better than anything is working with a top level character.

What we did at Luton was we managed to recruit every single...

Every single human being was hungry, wanted to get the best out of their career, their life, every single thing.

And they would do anything to get there.
