The socialism I believe in isn't really politics. It is a way of living. It is humanity. I believe the only way to live and to be truly successful is by collective effort, with everyone working for each other, everyone helping each other, and everyone having a share of the rewards at the end of the day. That might be asking a lot, but it's the way I see football and the way I see life.

Aim for the sky and you'll reach the ceiling. Aim for the ceiling and you'll stay on the floor.

Football (soccer) is a matter of life and death, except more important.

I always look in the Sunday paper to see where Everton are in the league - starting, of course, from the bottom up.

The socialism I believe in is everybody working for the same goal and everybody having a share in the rewards. That’s how I see football, that’s how I see life.

I don't drop players. I make changes.
