And with them, I've got the same beliefs that the 20 years ago that I started.

At Swansea, I think if I would have lost four games on a trot, I would have got the sack.
Wow.
At Wigan, and this is a story I never shared with anybody, when I arrived the first day and Mr Willen, which is an incredible custodian of a football club and a great example, something that we're losing in our game, he said to me, look, I believe in you.
I believe in what you can do.
If you get relegated this season, you're going to be my manager in the championship.
If you get relegated the second season, you're going to be my manager in the league one because it's my mistake of giving you the job, but you're going to be here for four years.
It's such an empowerment that it doesn't happen in modern football, that it gives you such a strength that it takes away the excuse to the player.
After not four defeats, we had a period of 11 games without a win in the Premier League.
