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

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

I was surprised we were playing in Manchester and have a referee from Greater Manchester.

They have a choice as a club. They don't have to sell. Maybe Southampton's objectives have changed. They were looking to be a Champions League club, I believe. They obviously wanted to change... I don't have sympathy, no.

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

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.
