Anybody who knows me knows that I'm an honest bloke,
a man of integrity. I say it straight and I know that
everyone respects that.
I've had huge success as a manager, and I turned down
big offers to come to Rovers. I've given all the players
who were here the chance to prove themselves to me.
I can't help it if every one of them was rubbish.
I have not given jobs 'to the boys'. OK, I met two blokes
on holiday in Spain and made them goalkeeping coach
and youth team coach, but that's just coincidence.
Yes, I was at Exeter, Wycombe and Torquay and most of
my signings come from Exeter, Wycombe and Torquay, but
that's just another coincidence. As I said, I'm a man of
honesty and integrity.
As a man of honesty and integrity I have treated Stuart Campbell
with honesty and integrity. I can't help it if he doesn't believe a word I say.
I don't make excuses. We've had poor pitches, injuries, poor atmosphere;
but I won't mention that as you would think I was making excuses; and
everyone who has worked with me knows I'm a man of honesty and integrity
and I don't make excuses; even when we are still gelling, you won't
hear me use that as an excuse.
Now what was the question?
