Might take a short while but here we go:
First a tribute to the Manchester bombing. Then onto the questions:
Interviewer (I): What's your summary of the season?
Khaldoon (K): Under normal circumstances ending the season without a trophy would be a disappointment but it's not, it really isn't. I think, while I would say not winning the league, not being within close range of winning the league is no doubt a disappointment. Not winning either the FA Cup or the Capital One Cup is also a disappointment. We are a team every year that expects to win 1 trophy and then to go further every year in the Champions League. So from that perspective the season has been a disappointment.
However, if you look at it from a different lens, we are truly going in a direction that is positive, I am very excited how we are developing as a team. How Pep has taken the squad and really started that process of going through that natural cycle of development, we've gone through several cycles over the last 9 years and we're going through one now but you can see where we're going. I have high confidence that we're going in the right direction, you've seen many glimpses of that, a type of football that is very entertaining, that I think the fans will grow to love. The results will come I have no doubt the results will come.
I: Do you think Pep was taken by surprise by the Premier League?
K: I think the Premier League is a unique league and we say that all the time, it is a very demanding league, very physical and the number of games is non stop. Unlike any other league in the world, you have no less than 7 or 8 teams that are top level and on top of that you have 20 teams, where frankly you can play any team in this league, home and away, and I can tell you neither match is an easy match or a given 3 points.
I think Pep has introduced a new way to play for us, an exciting way but a way that requires work and a set of players that function within that system. Probaby if I look back on the last season that puzzle wasn't complete and I hope we will support Pep this summer in completing that puzzle.
