I have made it totally clear to the players that my door will always be open.

In a utopia you want to win matches by several goals and by playing a wonderful brand of football. But that's utopia.

I am one of those people who quite enjoys responsibility.

I do appreciate that the most important thing as manager is to get good results.

Football's in my blood - and eventually I want to be the one making decisions.

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

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