2. Steve Bought Himself Some Time
"What's your targets for the season, Steve?" (He should be saying eighth place and a good cup run like he did during his first interview as head coach)
"You've got to take it a step at a time. I couldn't predict at the present moment. "What I'm hoping to do is to make sure I get a team that is competitive, that can go out week-in-week-out and has a chance of winning, that is hard to beat, that plays good football, and performances are key to me. Because if you get the performances you get the results. "I will only know once I've seen this team for four or five games. Sometimes I say wait till after 10 games. After 10 games I'll be able to tell you exactly where we're going to finish. "Ten games and I'll know what we've got."
Suppose we'll have to wait until after the away derby at the Stadium of Light, no less, on October 25th...
