00:00Graham Miller from ITN, you'll be aware there is a faction here who object to having a non-English coach, in principle, not to you personally, but in principle.
00:10How are you going to win these people over, including Paul Scholes, the Manchester United player, who's gone on record as saying he is one of them?
00:18Yes, I heard that, I saw it in the newspapers and I heard a lot about it.
00:25I can't do anything about it. I'm a Swede and that's it. I've been offered the job and here I am.
00:31So, the only thing we must hope is that we're going to play good football and do good results.
00:40And with that, I think nobody will talk about that anymore.
00:44If we don't do results, of course they will try to hang me, but even if I was an Englishman, they'd hang me.
