I tell them this is it. If they lose this game without putting up a fight, I am in a world of shit, and so are they. I could well be out, and everything we've worked for is over. I rate each and every one of you, I know you are more than good enough to win a game like this, look around at the guys in this room, tell me I'm wrong. Some of you came here from big four clubs, and if you carry on performing the way you are, people will say they chose to get rid of you because you couldn't cut it. If you turn in a good performance today, you can shut them up. If you win this game then we are back, we become the team who will take the fight to the establishment. If you fight your hardest but draw, then that's still true. If you lose..... The fans will accept losing honourably, but they will never forget a player who submits. The opponents, your fellow players will never respect you in the same way. You become someone who is just here for the money, and the owners won't tolerate that. If I go because you can't fight, the next guy will know that, and he'll get rid of you. So we are all in this together. This is the moment where we decide, what kind of players, what kind of club we are. I know what kind of people you are, that's why I brought you to this club.... you are the players who have worked hard and stood up and been counted at every stage of your career.....This is the moment that you need to show yourself, show your team-mates, show the fans, and show the world, what you are all about.
I also use a time machine, go back three months and make sure there is some decent defensive coaching.
