In the end, as a manager or coach, you have to keep your heart pure and do your best as a manager or a coach.

I'm a great believer in the character of the club. To me, character has a lot to do with how you compete. That creates urgency and toughness. That elevates the talent that you have.

I'm careful not to give into theatrics when times are tough, I don't like it when somebody gives into outside pressure and puts on a show for others.

The thing I learned when I was playing was that your best way of winning was to make it difficult for the other team to score in the last three innings.

I'm ready to do something different.

There are always distractions, if you allow them.

I'm very distressed that the report was leaked early so that the initial headline said 'dismissed, fired.' That's 180 degrees from the arrangement we have potentially.
