THE DEBT:
Our debt is small-fry. When I took over there was very little on the pitch that Everton could sell. Now look at the value that Everton have got on the pitch. If we wanted to sell players of course there would be takers for them.
THE DRESSING ROOM:
I’ve really been encouraged by the players. We won’t use this as an excuse for any result or performance. No chance. We’ll take them on the chin good or bad – the players have the bit between their teeth.
HIS OWN MORALE:
There are parts of it that become tiring but just because you don’t
have any cash it doesn’t mean you give in, or stop giving 100% or stop preparing your players properly. I am doing what I am employed to do – put out a team doing well.
