00:00Nearly 20 years ago, Everton was the club that gave you your first big chance in English
00:07football. It's not the first time you've managed against them, but still, what's the biggest
00:11value you've learned from your time at Fulham Park?
00:13Well, the human quality and then how deep is the feeling towards the club. As we all
00:19know, the club has been through very different stages through its history and recently they
00:24have a really tough one, but I love the way they get all together, they go through the
00:30storms, the way they face it is a great example of what Sean, the coaching staff and the players
00:36have done in recent years with all the instability around the club. So hopefully they can find
00:41a path now and a new stadium with new ownership as well and kick on and start more enjoyable
00:48times, hopefully.
00:50The Merseyside RBA was postponed, they had significantly more time to recover, could
00:56that be a factor this weekend?
01:02That's the context, we are so used to playing every three days, the boys trained today,
01:06really fired up, really looking forward to the game and understanding that it's always
01:11a really tough opponent and we're going to have to be really good to beat them.
