“The bad form started, they went away, went to Ibiza or something.

He said: “I want to emphasise I am responsible for the current losses.
“You are responsible when you are winning but also responsible when you are losing.
“I can never come up with enough excuses for us to have the results we have. That is far from good enough and I am responsible for that.
“It is my responsibility if we win or lose. What I also see is the team – and the fans stayed until the end – keep on trying until the end.”
