It puts me and the club under pressure,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re not winning footy games and I understand that. It\u2019s a business of winning and we\u2019re not winning.<\/p>\n \u201cI get to work every day and all I can do is do my best to prepare the players the best I can, and if it doesn\u2019t work and they decide to make another decision, well I\u2019ve just got to live with it.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE DRAGONS NEWS<\/p>\n \u2018TAKE SOME OWNERSHIP\u2019: Kevvie unloads on Dragons players<\/a><\/p>\n ANALYSIS: The danger sitting beside him… and answer staring him in the face<\/a><\/p>\n Su’a SENT OFF after huge hit on Murray | 00:50<\/p>\n Flanagan appeared to have some understanding of his fate having admitted to Australian Associated Press before the Cowboys loss that he needed to win games to keep his job.<\/p>\n \u201cI fully understand it. If you\u2019re going to coach at a big club we expect to win,\u201d Flanagan told AAP<\/a> ahead of the loss to the Cowboys.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s the cut-throat nature we\u2019re in sport. You see it all over the world if you don\u2019t win.<\/p>\n \u201cThe club and CEO, chairman and board have been rock solid. But I am not silly enough to understand that if you don\u2019t win, they\u2019ve got to change something.<\/p>\n \u201cWe can\u2019t change our 30-man roster, I can\u2019t sack 30 players. So guess what, it\u2019s (on me).\u201d<\/p>\n The Dragons face the Roosters in the annual ANZAC Day clash next Saturday.<\/p>\n
