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.
