Recently was the anniversary of Fulham's victory against Juventus.
I was able to watch the tape again and remind myself a lot of the things that happened in the game.
And they're wonderful moments when someone presents you with that opportunity.
Well, another very good question.
It depends very much upon the individual.
I think it's certainly praiseworthy that people are launching themselves into jobs and not waiting to get a job on the back of a name at an already established club where
a little bit easier for him in terms of getting results certainly when you talk about Seoul and the places he's gone to he really has thrown himself into the deep end he could have thrown himself into the deep end in a foreign country too and I don't know that's better it's certainly not worse but of course to go on board you've got to take into a lot of other factors and into consideration of other factors and a lot of it will be really family situations you know whether
Your family are prepared to back you up in that adventure you're going to take.
Are you going to be prepared to immerse yourself to some extent in the culture?
I'm not saying necessarily, you know, to learn the languages because there are countries you can go to where they'd be more than happy to have you coaching in English.
But certainly living abroad is going to
produce challenges for you and your family and I think you have to be prepared to accept that but I'm full of praise for people who've done that I mean Graham Potter's achievements in Sweden were quite phenomenal and I'm pretty certain that there will be a lot of other English coaches who would
welcome the chance of going abroad.
The only problem is these days that the number of job opportunities coming up abroad are perhaps less than they once were when English coaches perhaps were more in demand.
Well, I just only give the cliche answer.
If you're involved in football, you're a football player, you're a football coach, there's always something to play for.
It's what keeps us going.
Even though sometimes you wake up dreading the game ahead, you still wake up longing for it in the same way because it's what keeps us going.
What keeps us going through the training sessions, the hard work or the preparation is the fact we've got a game at the end to look forward to.
