No striped cardigan in sight, Gary O’Neil waltzed into his media duties sporting a simple club tracksuit and pair of trainers. Scott Parker’s wardrobe choices are gone, and so are the gloomy tones of his digs at the board and jibes that his squad are ill-equipped.
The man in his place, a 39-year-old former Portsmouth and West Ham midfielder, prefers a simple approach. ‘I’m going to celebrate with a cup of tea,’ he laughed. ‘I do like a nice tea.’
Sounds like you’re getting comfortable, Gary. Make yourself at home, why don’t you.
