Oliver Glasner's EXPLOSIVE press conference in full: 'I came to Nottingham to succeed!'

[0:00] Just talking about the result today and it's disappointing and frustrating and we have to accept it's not good enough. [0:11] If you lose four of the last five games, it's not good enough. [0:15] And that's why for me it's now time that we change things, that I change things and that's what I will do. [0:23] In what sense? The personnel? [0:26] Everywhere and I feel I could see a few things from day number one. [0:34] And I feel now maybe I made too many compromises in some stuff. [0:38] And it's always compromises. It's a clear way. I will tell what we want to do, what we have to do. [0:43] And if the players buy in, I think we can have a turnaround and if not, the sixth manager will come in. [0:51] Wanting the players to change it in light of what's happening? [1:02] No, they tried it again. You can't tell them or say they have a lack of effort. [1:07] But again, you feel you're controlling the game. You create a few good situations and all of a sudden they're 1-0 down. [1:14] It was the fourth goal we concede from a long ball from a goalkeeper. [1:17] So it's lack of awareness. Losing then the duel and we're 1-0 down. [1:20] And then the players tried and tried. I think in the first 20 minutes in the second half we just played in their half. [1:25] And then I could see they are getting nervous. We are crossing and crossing and this and this. [1:32] But again, if you always make some mistakes or the same mistakes in defense that you are down, [1:38] if you are in too many games, you are not able to convert the chances you have, [1:44] then we have to admit right now it's not good enough. [1:49] And that for me, I don't want to talk about statistics and about whatever. [1:53] Because the reality is we didn't score a goal. We conceded too. [1:57] We had enough set pieces. We didn't score again from a set piece. [2:00] And it's not blame. I take responsibility for everything. [2:03] And that's why I said, and I always take responsibility for the things I decided. [2:10] I decided everything. So where we are in the situation, it's just one person to blame and that's me. [2:16] And that's why I say, I can't and I won't continue in the same way as Oliver Glasner. [2:22] I will change things. And that's so clear for me. [2:26] Because otherwise, again, and it's the same, you asked the fifth manager, I think you're asking the same question. [2:33] Whereas I think the performances are better than the ones they have been. [2:37] But it's the same. And if things won't change, you will ask the sixth one. [2:44] I mean, it's the first time you've ever spoken about potentially. [2:47] I have no concerns. I think you see that. [2:51] You know, for me, I go home and have breakfast with my family. [2:54] It's the worst situation. Nobody needs to have pity with Oliver Glasner or with the manager here. [2:59] If I want, I could start in two weeks somewhere else. I won't do it. [3:02] But, you know, the players, the staff, they remain in the same situation. [3:07] And it's the same, sorry for the word, shit situation than the club had last year. [3:12] So you need to change and rebuild from the bottom to the top. [3:17] And this is clear for me. And this is what I will do. [3:21] And without any compromises. Zero. Zero. [3:25] And if these things don't work, they will let me know. [3:30] Yes, that's why I came to Nottingham. You know, I didn't come to Nottingham because I was bored at home. [3:43] No, I came to Nottingham to succeed. I came to Nottingham to get the visions of the owner and the fans and the club to reality. [3:55] And therefore we need to have a bigger change than maybe I thought, to be honest. [4:03] But again, when you are in a club, then you see what's going on. [4:08] And I'm desperate to get this turned around. [4:16] But again, Oliver Glasner can't do anything alone. [4:19] And I said this so often and not just when we, after a defeat, I always said the same after winning, it's not me. [4:26] No, but we all together can do it. [4:29] But I have, I know where we have to go. [4:32] And therefore it's exactly this, being ruthless. [4:35] And either you buy in or you leave. It's the only way. There is no compromise. [4:43] Either you buy in in where we want to go as a club. [4:46] Because, and I mention it, if you are three times struggling and now in the fourth season, [4:50] four or five Premier League seasons struggling, being at the bottom of the league, [4:55] there is a pattern. [4:57] And I just know that Oliver Glasner is not here for five years. [5:00] You see my mood, huh? So, yes. [5:16] And again, that's what should we expect. [5:19] That they say, hey, yes, yeah, nice. [5:21] I paid the train ticket and the ticket here and then, yeah, we're at the same again. [5:28] I think it's not, again, it's not a lack of effort, but there are a few things very obvious. [5:32] And it's, let's say we're talking about, the reality is we are outrun by the opposition in every single game to change it. [5:41] And if you can't change it, we need different personnel. [5:49] And if the club doesn't want to change it, they need a different manager. [5:53] I'm desperate to change it. Desperate. [5:55] I think we see the football is okay. We don't give them many chances. [6:10] We've kept them on seven shots here at Brentford. [6:14] So we are creating enough situations. [6:17] I think, yes, we have the personnel. [6:21] But we need to get more out of the players. [6:27] And this is where I see my responsibility. [6:31] And again, I felt it was more hugging than now. [6:35] But if hugging doesn't work, there's also an opposite way. [6:39] And again, I don't need to be loved. [6:42] I'm here not to be loved. [6:47] I'm here to bring success to this club. [6:50] And that's what I think, not what I think, that's what I will change. [6:55] Can I just say, it's going to take a long time. [7:09] Yes. [7:10] In this league and in your position, people will want changes. [7:13] And they want to see changes immediately. [7:17] So how do you marry them? [7:18] Again, I think the club wanted to see changes immediately. [7:21] That's why they always changed the manager. [7:22] But the things didn't change. [7:24] And if, again, I'm an employee, if the leader board thinks I'm the wrong one, [7:34] they will let me know. [7:35] But I think things won't change. [7:37] That's just how I see it now and again. [7:41] And we started already. [7:43] And I think I was not harsh enough on getting a few changes. [7:47] And there is, I had this, to be honest, in every single club. [7:53] Sometimes then I feel I waited a little bit too long for things to happen, to change. [7:57] And then there is a point when the, you say the same, when the water, [8:02] there's one drop, you know, when it's full with water, the glass, and it's another. [8:08] And then it, how do you say, overflows. [8:12] Yeah. [8:13] And today's defeat, this was this drop where it overflows in mind. [8:20] And that's now changing things. [8:23] What do you think? [8:29] Again, it's not massive. [8:30] I think the performances we show can be enough to get a point or get a win. [8:38] But again, it's when things always happen. [8:42] Yeah. [8:43] Then I can't continue doing the same thing. [8:47] I have never done in my life, you know. [8:50] If, if, if, if, in, it's cool. [8:53] If in mathematics you always can't get this sorted, you have to change something, yeah. [9:01] Because it will be the same, the same question the next day. [9:04] So, next week will be the same questions we were asked, yeah. [9:08] Is, and, and, and it's not about tactics, yeah. [9:11] It, it, it, it starts deeper and, and, yeah, that's, that's what I will try. [9:24] Really? [9:27] I felt, because I was there as well and I could see all the players going there and applauding. [9:46] And, of course, they also took the boos and, and it's fine. [9:48] So, I, it was my feeling that the players went there, all the ones, because I was there as well. [9:53] But, of course, you don't stand five minutes there. [9:56] But I think it was, it was the, the respect the players showed to the fans. [10:00] And I think also the fans, because the fans supported us until the final end. [10:04] And then they were the, the, the, the same frustration in everybody. [10:07] So, also the players are frustrated. [10:08] So, it's not now saying the fans and, and I'm the only one, the players are the same. [10:13] It is again, and, and, and it's not now also, it's not for me blaming the players individually or whatever. [10:19] No. [10:20] I just think we need to change things all together, as I mentioned, yeah. [10:26] But, we need the players because they are the, the protagonists, you say the same, on the, on the pitch. [10:33] Yeah. [10:34] And this is what they need. [10:36] Because, again, when I see, for example, James McAtee in the 89th minute, a clearance against Quattaro at the, at the, at the corner flag. [10:45] When he was sprinting back 60 yards, overtaking all the others. [10:49] Um, I see this effort, yeah. [10:51] And, but, if, again, if we, and we are making too many easy mistakes. [10:59] It's not, we never, we had no game, not one, where we didn't have the chance to win the game. [11:06] We had not one game where we not, where we haven't been competitive. [11:10] Um, but, we are making the mistakes in the wrong time. [11:19] Yeah. [11:20] Let's say today, with this long ball against Coventry, a long ball, um, a mistake against Ipswich. [11:27] Yeah. [11:28] And, when we have the chance, let's say, to, to take the lead, or, uh, or get the equalizer, we are missing the opportunities. [11:36] And, that's always the same, and it's, it's always some, there are some different players. [11:40] Um, and then, it's just for me, it's, I can't say, yeah, we do now, in the fifth week, we do the same, [11:47] because then, next week, things will be the same. [11:50] Yeah. [11:51] So, I think it's my responsibility to change things, that also the players get alert, and then, hopefully, they change a few things. [12:01] Is this start? [12:11] We always train on Sunday, so that's, yeah, yes. [12:14] I know, uh, now it's Monday, it's off, we always have off the second day after the game. [12:18] Right. [12:19] So, that's the continental way, I know here in England, it was, uh, no, there are some managers, [12:23] and, I don't say it's right or wrong, we always want, because we're having a recovery, you know, [12:28] you have many nickels from a game, and, and, and knocks, and we always want them having good treatment, [12:32] and doing recovery, and also, having good training sessions with the others who did not play, uh, [12:37] and then, they get off on Monday, uh, but, next, we will, it started already now, on the travel back. [12:43] You, you're coming across as well, I'm down, I'm down. [12:50] I'm down, I'm down. [12:52] Three hours bus driving now, um, a lot of traffic, maybe I get even angrier, so, uh, [13:00] No, it's not angry, it's necessary, I feel it's necessary, yeah? [13:10] And, again, it's, it started already. [13:13] So, you know, I was asked if a player can drive home alone. [13:18] I said, no, we can go back with the coach. [13:20] Right. [13:22] For example, this is, I have no understanding if somebody wants to go home on his own today, [13:28] from London to Nottingham. [13:29] No, go with the bus like everybody else. [13:31] No extras. [13:32] No extras. [13:33] No extras. [13:35] Buy in. [13:36] Buy in every single day, every single moment, every single session, everything we do. [13:41] You buy in, you can be part of the team, you don't buy in, leave. [13:44] And if, and otherwise, I'm wrong. [13:47] I'm on the wrong place. [13:48] That's it. [13:49] Buy in and then you can drive home. [13:51] No. [13:52] Coach. [13:53] Coach. [13:54] Thank you very much. [13:55] Thank you.
