I know as a manager you have to abide by the chairman's decisions. But his decisions were this team, that team, this player, that player. The chairman is a control freak.

You can't make a manager have a coach he doesn't want. I can't make the head of the accounting department work with someone he doesn't want.

We don't have as many managers as we should, but we would rather have too few than too many.

But the manager's bought wisely - the players who've come in have taken us on to a different level and the players who won promotion have also performed at the top level, so long may it continue.

He's one of those managers you'd give your left leg to play for.

The only thing I believe is this: A player does not have to like a manager and he does not have to respect a manager. All he has to do is obey the rules.

A manager is not a person who can do the work better than his men; he is a person who can get his men to do the work better than he can.
