“That is who we’re proper now and it isn’t superb,” he stated. “We have now to be sincere with ourselves and I’ve received to be sincere with myself and simply maintain plugging away.

“We have got the precise guys. The suitable guys are within the room, and the precise leaders. I’ve received to determine a option to get extra out of them, and it is no more from working towards tougher, longer. It is simply getting extra, whether or not it is management throughout video games, how they deal with the workforce, no matter that appears like. These are the issues I received to determine.”
