Question: Is confidence returning?

Answer: Need confidence more than a lot of things. Spirit's good but it can get better. Every player's got his strengths, every player's got an aspect that isn't 'Premiership'. Eg - fitness, experience. Need players to take responsibilty on a football pitch, leading by example. Eg - Rob Lee, not a vocal 'Tony Adams' leadership, but footballing responsibility.

 

Question: Can you keep N'Zogbia here?

Answer: Not seen any of the contracts yet. If Charles really wnats to go, we need to convince him that he'll miss out on something if he does leave. Need to convince him he'd make a mistake. Charles is open-minded, he's definitely not said he 100% hates it here. Want to keep our best players.

 

Question: Are you baring in mind the defensive frailties?

Answer: Our defensive records last time were very good. Media is convinced that we lost every game 4-3. Attack can be the best form of defense.

 

Question: Who's the next player you're going to buy? (Little kid, who's middle name is Shearer)

Answer: Wait till we're safe, then sit down and look at it. Can't give you any names. Easy for me to get Tevez. I could probably get Zola. One day Shearer will be assistant manager.

Question: Alan Shearer.

Answer: Shearer can't be a number 2 with all the commitments he's got at the moment, eg - BBC. The club can wait for Alan. The job will come for him. Shearer knew he couldn't be a number 2 atm. Certain Shearer will be Newcastle manager one day. Strong personalities can get on.

 

Question: What do you think to the press/public's change of opinion (negative) towards Newcastle?

Answer: Easy target. Not too different from last time, there were people looking for bad stories. It won't change. We can make people eat their words. The more people say things can't be done, the more it drives you on. Can't feel sorry for yourself.

 

Question: Are there insiders?

Answer: Don't think so. Doubt it very much. Shouldn't read too much into 'insiders'. Ignore it.
