What they Said
โWhen people talk about pressure they always assume it is fear.
โIt is not. I am just anxious about doing a good job.
โI am trying to get things together properly. [Turner had been in charge since the summer of 1984]
โI understand the fansโ frustrations but I believe changes were necessary.
โWe have been unlucky because injuries came at a time we could least afford them and have exposed the squad.โ
Graham Turner.
