Steve McClaren

I'm delivering that, that and that.

And sometimes you just got to be yourself.

And I think once I kind of relaxed into the job, and that was from Middlesbrough days.

It's great being assistant, but from the Middlesbrough, as soon as I stepped into the number one, it was completely different.

No one's prepared you for that.

And, you know, Middlesbrough, first four games, no goals for, 13 against, no points, pointless, clueless.

And I went, I'm not reading any more newspapers after that.

And just went focused and got on the job of, what's your job?

The only thing I would say is you are as a number two and you think you contribute and you are contributing because you're questioning all the time and you're asking.

So you're suggesting.

But that first day in management, you are actually making decisions.

What colour socks, Gaffer, do we wear on the trip?

You know, what T-shirt, what colour T-shirt?

What jacket do we need to put on?

Decisions.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Decisions, decisions, decisions.

And, you know, I remember Sir Alex, when I left, you know, any advice for me, he said, yeah, he said...

He said, don't seek conflict.
