Football teaches you hard work. It takes a lot of unspectacular preparation to have spectacular results in both business and football.

Every business I don't know, if I spend enough time - a couple of months - I will know a lot. I know quite a lot about football now. I know the value of players, and we won't do stupid things.

How you play the game is for college ball. When you're playing for money, winning is the only thing that matters.

You learn to understand it, but if you step back, you do think it is either strange or unfair. But I know that if you don't score, play well or win, you are wrong to have a helicopter and fly home each week to see your kids. You are wrong to have a business outside of football.

No matter what business you're in, you can't run in place or someone will pass you by. It doesn't matter how many games you've won.

Business is a team sport.

Football is big business - you can't get away from it. But you have to separate that side from the playing.

When you train a massive club or little third division outfit, when you go out to play football in any situation, it is always about winning.

Football is a chess game to me. If you move your pawn against my bishop, I'll counter that move to beat you. Football is the same way. I study so much film that I know exactly what teams are going to do. I love knowing what a offense is going to run and stuffing that play.

In football, like in life, you must learn to play within the rules of the game.
