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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If football taught me anything about business, it is that you win the game one play at a time.
I have done well out of TV, but not well enough to buy football clubs. I'm not sure it's ever a way to make money.
The thing I really look for in this business is there are guys who are into football and there are guys who are in the profession for other reasons.
But I just want to be known for my football.
It doesn't matter who you are, football's a business. At some stage you're going to have to leave a football club; that's just normal.
The trouble is that right now I want to put as much work into football as I can. It's very important for me to get off to a good start. By the same token, I feel a responsibility to handle the media and those sort of things.
The source of wealth is from individuals with little or no history of interest in the game, who have happened upon football as a means of serving some hidden agenda.
I'm a footballer, that's my job and that's all I want to be known for.
I want to be a great player. I don't want to play for the money. I don't want to play for fame. I'd just as soon no one knew who I was. I want to play football because it's football.
I believe a lot of players that start to think about money - 'Oh my goodness; I'm up for a new contract' - they don't have a great season because they're thinking about all these different things. Do your business on the field, and everything takes care of itself.
