I've always been one to arrive early for work; preparation is a big part of how I work, and I like to be in my office going through plans for the upcoming training sessions or meetings I have.

When you've got the ball 65-70% of the time, it's a football death for the other team...It's death by football.

I meet regularly with my staff to ensure they are aware of what I want, but also to make sure they have the chance to influence the process and use all of their knowledge to help prepare the group.

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.

If you give a bad player time, he can play. If you give a good player time, he can kill you.

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