There’s only two types of manager. Those who’ve been sacked and those who will be sacked in then future
I'm a firm believer that if the other side scores first, you have to score twice to win.
If they hadn't scored, we would've won.
As one door closes, another one shuts.
If you hire people who are smarter than you, maybe you are showing that you are a little bit smarter than them.
I think if they hadn't scored, we might have got a better result.
You can go to the pictures or read a book, but football constantly comes back into your mind. It's not a job, it's a life. It takes up your time, thoughts and energy and it can damage relationships with those around you.
Gary Speed was honourable, trustworthy and a joy to manage. He was honest, he was a role model and he was a great bloke. An avid learner, he recognised responsibility and he was always fully committed.
Once Tony Daley opens his legs you've got a problem.
It's like being on Death Row in an American jail. You are waiting for the door handle to turn, not knowing whether it's a reprieve or just your final breakfast before being executed.
Zinedine Zidane could be a champion sumo wrestler. He can run like a crab or a gazelle.
Managers are obsessed with the game. It's very, very difficult, if not impossible, to live a balanced lifestyle.
The chairmen of the largest companies in the world can cancel an appointment or move a board meeting; a manager cannot change the date of a game. In the combined 42 years that Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have managed in English football, I can only remember one occasion when Sir Alex did not attend a Manchester United game.
