From the beginning, when something was wrong I've been saying: 'Dilly-ding, dilly-dong, wake up, wake up! ' So on Christmas Day I bought for all the players and all the staff a little bell. It was just a joke.

About This Quote

The quote, “From the beginning, when something was wrong I've been saying: 'Dilly-ding, dilly-dong, wake up, wake up!'” is an adage that means that when you are making mistakes you should be aware of it and do something about it right away. If you keep making mistakes then things will only get worse. All sports teams have to make adjustments when they are losing or in need of a boost. It is important to note that this does not mean that when your team wins they forget all of their problems. Instead, they realize how far they have come and what they still need to work on.
