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

I hope when my time as Liverpool manager is over, I'm remembered as someone who improved the team and left the club in a better position than I inherited it.

I dictate entirely how the team is prepared, and I am a hands-on coach; I love to be out there with the players taking the sessions.

I'm never going to walk away because I'll always have belief that I can improve players and make things better.

If you look at the world-class performers at the top of the game, their numbers are just exceptional and that is the level he is at.

A player's character is a crucial factor I look into before committing to signing them. They also need to show a willingness to learn, regardless of age and experience; that's very important to me.

I think my history as a coach shows I like players who are gifted technically and have courage when it comes to being in possession of a football. That is a key quality for me.
