We’ve worked extremely hard to pull it off, people behind the scenes as well, because when somebody like him becomes available, then I’m sure there were many suitors. “It’s fair to say he will have an argument but he wants to win and I’ve got no problem with that. He’s got himself into this situation because he’s had a row with someone, but how often have we seen that?”
