"I have had eight years here, player and manager, and the relationship with the fans as a player was very, very special.
"When you become the manager, you put that relationship in jeopardy.
"But I am big enough to cope with that. I am also experienced enough to know that if we can turn results around, short and long term, then that can change back.
