00:12 I have to be pleased with the progress of the team.
00:15 You know, if you'd said at the start of the campaign that we
00:18 would be eight wins, two draws at the end of the year, it's a
00:23 pretty good record, given the fixtures that we've had.
00:26 I think we've done a lot of things well, but there's
00:28 always room for improvement.
00:30 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:41 They've got to walk away from here heads held high.
00:45 They've done more than any other team in the last 50 or
00:48 so years.
00:48 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:59 I think the only way that he gets asked to leave is if
01:01 England do desperately bad in a tournament.
01:05 Other than that, then it's his call.
01:06 And again, there's a lot of people who would say that
01:10 England need to win something for him to have had a good
01:12 tenureship as a manager.
01:14 But I would argue that I think he's been fantastic.
01:16 I would say England to a final and a semi-final, with the
01:20 hope, should I say, in the Euros that he can do the same.
01:22 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:27 What we can do is to support him and we try to help him to
01:29 perform here.
01:30 And then it's not our decision.
01:33 Of course, he needs to perform well in order to
01:35 convince Gareth.
01:38 Who do we leave out to put him in?
01:40 So it's as simple as that, really.
01:43 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:47 It's just got better and better and better.
01:49 And we're probably now in the strongest position that we've
01:51 been in a long time.
01:52 Going off the back of the successes in the World Cup and
01:55 the Euros, I think, it's a given that the team
02:00 understands that probably our favorites, in some
02:03 senses, did too well.
02:05 But there's also that underlying confidence that it
02:09 can be backed up.
