No, it was all geared to 'Alan's the victim'. He uses TF's lack of reality for why he wasn't successful. Top 4 aspirations with bottom 2 budget. The lack of quality in his signings, the choice of Darren Jackson as assistant, the complete lack of organization in his team's were all glossed over in favour of "some of the existing lads didn't take to the English lads." That and a bunch of "that's what you're dealing with" thrown in.
