The analysis of statistics is a big part of the modern game, and it's important as a modern manager to embrace areas that can help your team and players improve.

I think I've proven I can build a team that plays a way of football that excites and challenges at the top end of the table.

The quality of people you have around you as a manager is so vital. There are various factors that influence that process; fitness, form and the tactical approach to your opponent are all areas I review on a daily basis.

It's the nature of it. The players will want to compete at the highest level they possibly can.

Status does not matter. It is what you are like as a player. It doesn't matter how much money you have come for. That doesn't matter to me. I will play a 17-year-old if he fights and he has quality. It is quite easy.

They brought on someone who cost more than our stadium.

I'm blessed to be supported by some brilliant staff, who are all experts in their field and dedicated to what they do.
