We won the last three games I was in charge, O'Neill says. I'd come into the job in January after I met Marinakis in London. We agreed that we'd work over a 17-month period and he said: Don't worry about [chasing an unlikely] promotion now. Next season we will really make the charge.' I thought that was absolutely fine and I didn't want any longer, because if I couldn't get them promoted that would be it.
