I can categorically tell you that Mario Balotelli will not be at Liverpool.

I think football management has obviously changed and evolved in terms of practices and methods, but I would say the values we strive to hold are the same as great men like Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley.

My days tend to be packed, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I enjoy my work, and it is a privilege to do what I do.

I will leave no stone unturned in my quest - and that quest will be relentless - to try and get Liverpool back on the map again as a successful football club.

Look at Tottenham. You spend over £100-odd million, you'd expect to be challenging for the league.

It's not always plain sailing... especially when you're flying!

I believe a young player will run through a barbed wire fence for you. An older player looks for a hole in the fence, he’ll try and get his way through it some way, but the young player will fight for you.
