Some footballers walk into a dressing room and immediately command respect. Barry Ferguson might have led the dressing room as captain for the majority of it but he had a whole host of lieutenants backing him up on the park and off it. The need to get more presence among the squad in the dressing room. You had a lot of physical players who had a real presence within that dressing room. If they can get the right balance with the right characters in the dressing room - guys that can deal with the expectations - then that’s a massive help.
