Fulham boss Martin Jol won't change his man-management style, despite upsetting some players.

Jol said 80 per cent of his players need winding up to perform at their best and insisted he did not care if this makes him unpopular with his squad.

He said: "It's not provocation. For me it's inspiration and trying to stimulate them. They always realise that I always try to get the best out of them. It will never be personal.

"Even when I don't like them I wouldn't tell them. I would probably be a good actor and do as if I like them because that is my job to be professional.

"I'm sure there will be one or two in the starting XI who don't like me, but it's about doing the business for the club. You can't keep all of them happy all of the time."
