“Part of the game is moving on. And you do.”

“Credit to all the clubs, if there are incidents anywhere I think the clubs are very quickly on that and are banning supporters who are making racial comments. I think clubs are very much on top of what they see.”

“Managing in the Premier League isn't something I am fearful of.”

“If there is one rule I have, it is you have to remain level-headed.”

“My managerial drive has always been about doing the best job I can.”

“When you speak to potential black and ethnic coaches who want to go into the game, one aspect that they always speak about are role models. They would like to see representation, more at a higher level. And any part I can play in that I am delighted to do.”

“Well, every manager has to take his personality into the job that he does, but irrespective of that personality you have to be aggressive when you need to be.”

“When the game is played by such a high percentage of black and ethnic minority players and we're looking at the percentage of managers and coaches, at the top level it is minimal.”

“If you said to me there's a top quality player who you can bring in and we are confident he will add to your squad, but you have to work with him a bit and he can be a bit fiery, then you feel if you are bringing him into a good group the group can take care of that.”

“I think you have to dig deep in every performance.”

“Of course you get butterflies as a manager.”

“As a manager, you manage a team and there are good periods where there are good feelings in the group.”

“I am naturally very disappointed to have lost my job but immensely proud to have served as Norwich City's manager.”

“I consider Birmingham a proper football club; the tradition and support base that fits the club.”

“I've always had strong views on social issues such as hospitals - I think we should have a good health system - and the education system, too.”

“Ossie Ardiles got the job at Tottenham. I knew Ossie well and he brought me back as his reserve-team coach. That was my intro into coaching. Over the years I have known lots of other potential coaches who couldn't see a pathway. They couldn't see role models. There were so many BAME coaches who would apply for jobs and not even get an interview.”

“I always keep busy it gives you an opportunity to go through your coaching methods, your files, to see how other managers are working and re-educate yourself.”

“I think the nature of the game can be very unforgiving and of course, the longer you are out of the game - this is a very fast evolving game and particularly with the media we have.”

“The most important thing is that you can make tough decisions, discipline people when you need to, but also create a spirit to get the ultimate thing you're aiming for, which is winning enough games.”

“We have seen a lot more black and minority ethnic coaches at grass-roots level, academy level, development level, but of course at senior level there is a massive void. That is something that has to be addressed and there has to be a pathway for them.”
