I respect him a bit for at least coming out fighting when he can see his job is on the line.
It is a pity that it sounds a bit delusional and desperate though.
If he could translate that fighting spirit into the players on the football field, then I doubt if we would be in the mess that we are currently in.
It also worries me a bit, that it seems that having his job under threat has prompted the, err spirited defence, rather than the precarious position the team finds itself in.
