What they Said
"Nothing has changed whatsoever so far as the manager's position is concerned."
Herbert Douglas Ellis.
"I can understand their frustration but It only makes me even more determined to find the winning blend."
Graham Turner.
"I asked the manager for some backing [in improving the youth set up] and he went against me. I was completely and utterly humiliated and I couldn't see how I could carry on."
Brian Little on resigning as youth team coach.
