"I'd expect to be here next season and hope to win over the dissenting Villa fans. I think Randy will be pretty pleased with the outcome. He's been very supportive in texts over the last few days, which indicates great support for me. It's been a tough season, as tough as I've had. I knew the challenge I was taking on. But going through it is always different from what people tell you. You have to experience it. I'd like to think I've showed my leadership and always stood up in the face of adversity all season. I am proud to be intact and not having thrown myself off a bridge or something."

"It was an absolutely shocking, woeful display. Maybe some of the boys were thinking about their holidays already.
"That team needs a change and there will be change. That wasn't an Alex McLeish team today. We need to bring more quality into the squad.
"I take (the fans' booing) on my shoulders for the sake of the players, I agree with the fans' frustration about our display.
"I'm expecting the board to back me. I have no reason to think I won't be (Villa manager next season). We've got through a really tough season. I've won lots of trophies as a player and manager and I haven't turned into a bad manager overnight."
