"What counts more than anything else is hard work.

"Some say that's easy, but to work hard every day of your life isn't.

"As well as the great pressure there are the great rewards of seeing the team that you have prepared winning.

"We have a fantastic tradition of bringing young players through the club from youngsters to first team players and that gives me great satisfaction."
