I would be much more annoyed if we hadn't won the game. As a manager, you have to see the positives and I think Pires has a vaccine for the rest of his life.

The best football players in the world still earn very little money compared to people who really earn money.

If you buy a man who is half dead, everybody may be happy off the field, but on the field you'll have major problems

A manager is a guide. He takes a group of people and says, 'With you I can make us a success; I can show you the way.'

If you don't question the officials' role then you've got to ask what they are doing

Ferguson's out of order. He has lost all sense of reality. He is going out looking for a confrontation, then asking the person he is confronting to apologise. He's pushed the cork in a bit far this time.

One of the things I discovered in Japan was from watching sumo wrestling. At the end you can never tell who has won the fight, and who has lost, because they do not show their emotion because it could embarrass the loser. It is unbelievable. That is why I try to teach my team politeness. It is only here in England that everybody pokes their tongue out when they win.
