David Healy says Linfield are going to "really enjoy" the next month as they celebrate a record 57th league title.
The Blues got the first opportunity to celebrate with their fans following the 3-0 win over Dungannon Swifts on Monday night nearly a week after they were crowned champions.
But while they plan on making the most of celebrating their first Gibson Cup success in three seasons Healy insisted there would be no let up in performance levels having learned his lesson in the past.
"We try not to take our eye off the ball at Linfield,” said Healy. “I live and die by decisions as manager.
"I made a mistake years ago when we had trophy day at Windsor and we played Glenavon, we were beaten 4-0 and I think 50-60% of the supporters left in frustration, which was disappointing for me considering the league was won well before, but it marked my card in terms of expectations.
"We’re going to really enjoy the next four weeks and the players deserve that.
"We had a huge Linfield support here tonight...it might have been easy for them to sit in the house and watch it, but they turned up in their numbers to give the players the support they deserve with the effort, hard work and success they’ve had this year.
“When you come into a game like this, you’re slightly worried because last week was a stop-start week.
"I know the players enjoyed a little bit of celebration midweek when we won the league so you’re always a bit on edge...what we did do Saturday and Sunday was prep for this game and the mentality that we needed for tonight.
"You don’t just buy winning culture or habits, you have to create that and when you have the level of senior players we do in the dressing room, they drive that and it’s led by me as manager.
"We want to improve standards – if you maintain standards you can sometimes get caught and overtaken, so we want to improve standards."
