I Tell The Players That The Bus

The Pace Of The Game Demanded A Referee Who Was Fit. It Is An Indictment Of Our Game. You See Referees Abroad Who Are As Fit As Butcher's Dogs. We Have Some Who Are Fit. He Wasn't Fit.

Lampard, For Me, Was A Marvellous Servant For Chelsea, But I Didn't Think Of Him As An Elite International Footballer. And I Am One Of The Few Who Felt Gerrard Was Not A Top, Top Player.

It's A Conflict Of Parallels.

It's A Horrible Part Of The Game When You Have To Tell A Player, Probably Somebody Who Has Helped You Win So Much That His Time Is Up. You Treat Them Like Family, And Because They Are Your Family It Becomes Even More Hurting In The Sense That You Have Got To Say "well Son, I'm Sorry, You Won't Be A Regular Here, But You Will Still Have A Career Elsewhere.' It's Happened More Than A Few Times But It Is Not An Easy Thing To Handle.

Football Management Is Such A Pressurized Thing - Horse Racing Is A Release. I'm Also Learning To Play The Piano - I'm Quite Determined - It's Another Release From The Pressure Of My Job.
