"You've got to give managers chances. I think back to my own time at Leicester City, where I eventually enjoyed nice success. Can't win a game to save my life, crowd baying for blood after 10 games. How lucky I was to win a couple of matches of real importance at that stage. You've just got to win, you've got to win."
"There's some excellent players at the football club. There's some boys who have won big time as well. Lean on some of the senior players. Lean on them and get them on your side. It is recoverable, of course. You're in the football club 10 or 12 days. You cannot make a judgement on anybody over three games. The matches were difficult.

Wilfried Nancy has lost his first three matches in charge of Celtic, suffering defeats to Hearts, Roma and St Mirren in the League Cup final. Martin O'Neill returned as interim manager previously and won seven of eight games at Parkhead before Nancy's appointment. Some supporters have called for Nancy's dismissal after the early run of results. O'Neill urges patience, recalling his own difficult spell at Leicester City and advising reliance on senior players to steady the team. O'Neill describes the situation as recoverable, stresses that Nancy has been in the role only days, and says judgment cannot be made on three matches.
