Make no mistake, you would prefer to work for someone who is going to put their arm around you at times and lift you.

I don't want to portray myself as a hardman in management or anything like that.

We are in a results business, so Stuart Pearce being a jolly old boy won't keep me in a job.

I can see the carrot at the end of the tunnel.

The way I was brought up by my parents and guided through my football life by the influences of various managers means that in some ways I am black and white.

It can be a bit of a hindrance when you walk into a restaurant for a quiet meal and one or two launch into 'psycho, psycho'!

I think management is about just that - managing people via man-to-man skills.
