VIEW EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY OLIVER HOLT CHIEF SPORTS WRITER: Gary O'Neil knocks on the door before entering the Wolverham Wanderers training ground's spartan meeting room. It's only a small detail. However, most Premier League bosses would not be knocked. They wouldn't be concerned. They didn't check until they marched in. Let's face it: Most Premier League managers will need someone to open the door for them. Another small detail. Some people have noted that the plain top O'Neil is wearing is black. It's black, and the photographer has said it will go with the background for the portrait of O'Neil, which he is planning to photograph. The top is a dark navy, as O'Neil points out. Not because he's some sort of fashionista. As a matter of fact, it's just as a matter of fact. If it's important, it might be worthwhile. Because it is a specific matter. And the fine details. It's all about the details. It's one of the things that distinguishes him as he starts a new full season as a boss in the Premier League. He knows that about himself. He is proud of it. He prides himself on his preparations, emphasizing how he makes sure his players are safe for whatever comes. He has got it covered in case of an emergency.
