Manager Manuel Pellegrini insists that the last thing he wants is a vote of confidence from the owners.
With his position under the most severe threat the Chilean said: “No, no. I don’t need a vote of confidence. I know the way I am working. I know the owners. I know the way they think. I know what is football. Don’t worry about that.”
He was happy to talk in general terms about the situation surrounding every manager in circumstances such as his right now saying: Maybe some teams do the change too soon. I don’t know, Watford have changed. Sometimes to change a manager is a good idea, most part it is not a good idea.
He told reporters: “It is important to have a cool mentality and trust the manager you brought. Of course the final result is normally the sack more or less, but you need results.
He has been pilloried by the media for weeks but accepts that too as art of the game saying: Does it upset me? No I understand what the media say and what the media write.
It is a different profession, with different work that you are always in competition and you need to sell. I never had any problems with the media because I understand exactly your job and you must do all the questions you must do if you think that you’re work is better for that.
For me, any problems? Never. You cannot expect praise when you are not winning. When I am winning, the praise for me is not important also and the criticism? I always listen, but I try to continue having my experience and understand the work I need to do.
