I presume you mean this in the EDP

“Football is a strange game. Two months ago I was manager of the month and then there was a witch hunt around me. Football changes really quickly,” said Neil. “We have played really well here. Brentford was a step in the right direction. We had five or six great chances and we should have won the game. We needed to take it a step further today and win the game and marry it up with a really good performance. Now we need to build on it. We are ninth now, only five points off the play-offs and half a season left to play so plenty for us to play for.”

Doesn't seem arrogant to me, just factual. Witch hunt may be a bit over the top, but otherwise I wouldn't feel too strongly about anything he says there.
