And I went, well, welcome to the England job.
And I think the noise and the media was a part of it, which I'd seen with Sven, I'd seen with Sir Alex.

It took me six months, and I think whatever job I've kind of done, and especially going abroad, to adapt and to change and to whatever culture or environment, it's tough.
The first six months are hard, really hard, and the first six months in England were really hard.

They were booing the bus going to the game.
And I'm thinking, oh dear, we're in trouble here.

And the press.
