There's no instant fix though is there? You look at where Villa are at the moment, Villa are probably where you want to be?
"Of course yes, they have that stability, they are used to fighting for the first places. So, we want to do that also but there are a lot of things that is really good in this kind of club but when you are in this situation, it's going to take time. But we can improve."
When you say time, how many windows are you looking at?
"It's not windows, sometimes we don't know. Things can change fast but to reach that kind of level of Manchester United is going to take time. I cannot say how many windows, how many years we need to reach that point, we can improve, that is clear."
With that in mind Ruben, you probably need to make a lot of changes to the squad, are you looking at the challenge as something you will enjoy or are you worried about how difficult it's going to be to juggle everything?
"This six months was really hard, a lot of changes. Not just for me, all the club. We did so many changes inside our club that sometimes it takes five years or three years to change all the personnel and a lot of things. We changed coach in the middle of the season, the way we play. It was a really tough season. Now is that part we need to enjoy, we need to focus on the future, be positive, because we know what we have to do. I know how I want to play, that is clear. All the mistakes you guys can point to me, I know how I want to play. Now is the exciting moment that we can change something."
