When someone gets angry during a training session but then does their job, there's no problem; it's fine.

No celebrity bullshit,no self promotion,an amazingly gifted player who remained an unaffected human being

You know, if you play on home soil sometimes funny things can happen and you have that push of the crowd.

That's what the Premier League is, that will never change. There will be periods when you're up and down.

My father loved European football; he also loved the Brazilian team. His own dad loved the Brazilian team.

There's not many Premier League clubs as big as Sunderland, with their fanbase and stadium and facilities.

The manager needs to be given the opportunity to get on with his job and be given that time that he needs.

Before we talk about stylish performance, we need to think about winning. That's the most important thing.

The dietician is going to get rid of that when he comes in. Although, first, we've got to get a dietician.

I owe everything to this football. But I'm proud of what I've made of the opportunity to become a trainer.

You have to try to win the ball at all costs and if someone doesn't get it quite right people get injured.

I'll take account of things at the end of the season. Now I'm expecting a good finish to the league season.

That's not always a nice feeling when you've given everything, and it's not enough - it's an empty feeling.

Managers get interviewed for jobs, but I think it should be the managers who are interviewing the chairman.

It's hard for me to interact with players who don't give themselves completely. The weak don't interest me.

Being an ex-England manager, one that failed to qualify for the World Cup, is like being a dead politician.

Thierry Henry is a fantastic professional and will be massive here in New York, i'm sure, he is world class

For eight years at West Ham, I made a profit. And I kept them in the Premier League. Took them into Europe.

When I was a kid, there used to be a family section in every club where it would be all kids. That stopped.

I monitor the food my players eat on a Friday night. It's no good if they've had two vindaloos and a kebab.

You have to deal with a lot of things when you are a professional football player, and that is not so easy.

I was lucky enough to experience an exceptional period with City. We won so much and played great football.

My parents were a huge inspiration to me and a massive part of my life and everything that I have achieved.

At Sunderland I balanced the books and managed them to this position of 10th and 13th. My record stacks up.

That is what a good manager does - you study and think and discuss, and you come up with a model of playing.

He was a huge football man - he loved football. He was a good parent, a great father, and brilliant with me.

All the time, I said to my players, 'I don't care about the name on the badge or the name of the opponents.'

You have to sometimes shoot from the second row, that's all football. So you have to be a bit more flexible.

I do my best to answer all questions that they might have as well as make appearances at camps and what not.

You come here to Anfield, you stand there and listen to that crowd, and it's the greatest sight in football.

I very much doubt that it could happen again that any manager would do 20 years with a top Premiership club.

Managing a league club is like making love to a mermaid... you should always be aiming for a top half finish

I said no to Aston Villa because I was not ready. I said yes to Cardiff because I felt ready. But I was not.

I've never been spoon-fed for my whole career, I have always done it the hard way as a player and a manager.

I have great respect for him. Sir Alex has won many trophies and is the most important manager in the world.

People don't have to believe in you for you to succeed. Just work hard, when you succeed, they will believe.

When you lose a game of football, you can still be a winner by taking it on the chin and getting on with it.

What people don't talk about is I've been promoted out of every division and been to the final of an FA Cup.

I’ve always said that you can live without water for many days, but you can’t live for a second without hope.

When you play in the Champions League, you are switched on - very, very smart and focused on every situation.

The love the people of Leicester showed towards me was incredible. Even more than winning the Premier League.

Celtic's a brilliant football club, and they have an unbelievable fan base - one of the biggest in the world.

I demand a lot and we look to improve, but I'm glad that Atleti are expected to be among the best every year.

Football is wonderful because everyone can have an opinion and make judgements about what they think and see.

We don't have any splits here. The players country is Liverpool Football Club and their language is football.

Man-management is my biggest asset, to help the players enjoy themselves and be better than they already are.

I believe first of all it's always a disappointment to lose the players at an important moment of the season.

By the time that I left Porto I had a few offers, and I probably chose the club that I shouldn't have gone to.
