Coach

I haven't got an old man's brain. I have got a sharp mind and enjoy doing what I do.

Lionel Messi reminds me of George Best, the way he would run with the ball tight to his foot.

Luka Modric could get into almost any team.

I don't know what goes on in prison. I've never been in trouble with the police in my life.

There is some right old rubbish talked about Gareth Bale's time with me at Tottenham. Was I ever going to sell Bale? No. Was I going to loan him? No.

Whatever faults I may have, I do know a player.

I've enjoyed my time at every club I have worked at, I've been lucky, but I won't jump in and finish up working with a chairman I didn't like very much.

No one is more of a fan of the game than me: my son is a player.

If I could help someone somewhere, help a young manager, I'd love that. I did it at Derby with Darren Wassall and had a great time.

There're plenty of good people in football - mostly players and managers.

At West Ham, I was never able to buy the top-flight players. It was a case of looking around, trying to do deals. I was always taking a gamble.

Whatever faults I may have, I do know a player.

I don't think I can eat emu.

I can't write - I don't even know how to punctuate.

My record speaks for itself.

You now have these owners who are all successful businessmen, and they think they should be winning. They come in thinking that they should be winning. Some don't understand that only one team can win the league.

People think I'm all calm, but underneath I'm not.

I am a fantastic football manager, not a hard-headed businessman.

Dave Mackay was one of the best I've ever seen. Jimmy Greaves was the greatest goal scorer, and George Best was just the best. The greatest.

I've got no hobbies - a game of golf every now and again, but that's it.
