Artur Boruc says he is pleased that the bottle-throwing incident that marred the start of his Southampton career is behind him.
The goalkeeper launched the bottle towards his own supporters on his home debut against Tottenham in October after hearing racial abuse coming from the stands.
No action was taken against the Polish stopper or the supporters involved, but he was promptly dropped by former manager Nigel Adkins and did not return to the side until January.
But Boruc has told the press in his homeland that he does not feel any guilt about the incident.
He said: "I won't say I regret it, because I heard insults from the stands. Racist ones.
"But I blamed myself for it because I gave Adkins the reason that he could sit me on the bench," he added.
The 33-year-old has now established himself as first-choice under new manager Mauricio Pochettino and has won over the Saints fans with a string of good performances, most-notably delighting the support with a crucial last-minute penalty save in the 0-0 draw at Norwich earlier this month.
And Boruc, who confirmed his agent is in negotiations to agree a contract extension, says the experience has been character-building.
"The coach had his vision and I was a bit angry," he said. "But I like such challenges, and feel good when I hit the bottom, because you can start from scratch."
It was confirmed on Thursday that Coventry City Football Club Limited had gone into administration.
However, this company is distinct from Coventry City Football Club (Holdings), which runs the football operation.
It means that Paul Appleton, managing partner of David Rubin & Partners LLP, has been able to offer Pressley assurances about his squad, including confirmation they will continue to be paid as normal.
"I was pleased to meet with Steven and give him reassurances that, as far as what happens on the pitch and in the general running of the Club, it is absolutely business as usual with the operating company executives very much in charge," said Appleton.
"Steven, the players and all the staff at the football club will continue to be paid as normal by the operating company which is not in administration - that is an important message I was keen to put across."
The administration issue centres around the costs involved with playing at the Ricoh Arena, which Coventry moved into eight years ago.
A High Court judge is next week due to analyse the finances of the club after the owner of the stadium said it was owed rent.
Arena Coventry said earlier this month that it was owed more than ?1.3 million and planned to ask a High Court judge to place the club into administration.
Lawyers representing Arena Coventry appeared at the High Court in London today to outline the latest state of play.
They said Arena Coventry bosses had been concerned by a statement made by the club earlier this week - and needed more time to consider their position.
A judge adjourned the hearing until Tuesday.
Eighth-placed Coventry travel to bottom-of-the-table Portsmouth - a club placed into administration more than a year ago - on Saturday.
There has been talk of City reaching a ground-share agreement with one of their Midlands neighbours before building a stadium of their own, even though the 32,000 Ricoh Arena is a newly-built stadium.
It is now thought Coventry will have a 10-point deduction imposed by the Football League, which would end any outside chance of promotion from League One, City having mounted a successful run under Pressley, who was only appointed as Mark Robins' successor a fortnight ago.
