The 63-year-old speaks to i's Mark Douglas about his surprise return to management, what went wrong at Cardiff and football's ever-changing terminology
“I’m still surprised and shocked by that, it’s not normal,” he said. “I made a few mistakes in that run. I think I went a bit too negative but there were mitigating circumstances.

“I went over to chat to him and there’s a kid with a bag so I said to him ‘Are you the physio?’ He said ‘No, I’m the head of health, medical, physiology and something else and something else and well-being’. I said to him ‘How wide is your f___ing office door? You’ll never get that title on there!’ “When he went away the goalkeeper said to me: ‘Yeah, he’s the physio’ but they just can’t call him that anymore.”

On Monday, we spoke at length about his reputation and he settled on the following sentence: “I do what I can to win a football match but I don’t always do it to please everybody.” That is exactly what his new club need.
