The question you ask is part of a much bigger question really, about the gap between the
00:08
Championship and the Premier League and just the different strategies you can find to try
00:17
and close that gap.
00:21
So, I don't think the question is as simple as that.
00:25
Every team is different in how it's composed when it comes up and how it goes when it goes
00:29
down.
00:30
The example of some of the teams that went down to the Championship with a lot of Premier
00:35
League players playing in the Championship, so you could be fairly confident that if they
00:39
come back up they have a…
00:41
I think in our case, because it's a bigger question, we built a team in the Championship
00:48
that was built to be good in the Championship, but when you come up you're facing a totally,
00:54
totally different level and part of the fact that we've had to do that…
00:59
I'm sorry, I'm letting you in on a bigger question because it is something…
01:03
Probably not the right time to reflect on it, but just to set the context, because those
01:09
are things that we openly discuss every time.
01:12
But part of the things that you have to take into consideration is that we went down with
01:20
a very small squad, I had nine or ten players in training in the Championship when I signed.
01:26
It wasn't 30 players in training and you have to trim it down.
01:29
No, it was no players and the few players that you think are those players that you
01:34
have to sell them and we rebuild an entire Championship squad really out of nothing that
01:41
was quite successful in the Championship.
01:43
It was quite a remarkable season.
01:44
I think eventually in the future people will appreciate the magnitude of the task we had
01:49
that year.
01:51
But to say that that team was ready to go from Championship to Premier League just like
01:54
this, there was just as little experience in the Premier League in the Championship
01:59
team that we had last season to go to the Premier League as in the Premier League team
02:02
we have this year.
02:03
It is what it is.
02:04
It's a reality.
02:05
But, OK, meanwhile we've got 28 games in the Premier League so we've built our own
02:10
experience into the squad a little bit.
