“I haven't won anything so that's part of the truth, we don't have to think about 2022, it's a long way to go.

“As long as we all enjoy the ride here, and I mean all - from the owners, the players to the supporters, to everyone around the club - we can try it and try it, but at the moment if one of those groups isn't happy any more, then we shouldn't stretch it and say 'come on, try to do it'.
“It's a good time, and 2022 is a long time so I don't have to think about it hopefully, everything will be fine and then we can think about that.”
