“I've always felt wingers, more than any type of player, can change a game.”

“When someone intelligent comes around, and looks at life around football in a different way, it can be alien.”

“I learned a lot from Arsene Wenger, especially his tactical systems and how to plan things game to game, week to week and month to month.”

“You have to truly believe in your skill and trust that you can do something.”

“I think in the end football wins hopefully, and people start looking at all scenarios. In the end I just want to be a manager. Forget whatever colour you are - that's the way it should be really.”

“I like building teams and I want to run my own show, in the nicest possible way, to see how far I can go, starting with getting Macclesfield further up the table.”

“Coaching is definitely different. I've got the knowledge but it's about communicating that to others in a manner they can understand. There's an art to that and the more you practise, the better you get.”

“A lack of street footballers dulls the imagination, dulls that natural thinking outside the box. You need that on the street when you're 9 and have to beat a 14-year-old on the dribble. Or if you get knocked out and have to sit on the side and come on.”

“The career I have had should warrant me getting a job. I've done all the badges. I'm doing my coaching badges with the Welsh FA.”

“Fifa would benefit hugely from the experience of former players from a variety of backgrounds including Africa and Asia. There aren't many senior staff who have played at the top level and the organisation needs balance.”

“Sometimes you get a team that has almost forgotten how to win. That's maybe fallen away from the standards that should be set at this level. Some are big problems, some of them are small problems.”

“We can't all have gleaming grass, cut to the millimetre, perfectly manicured and watered when needed and looked after by 10 groundsmen. Not everyone can be at these clubs.”

“I don't rely on off-shore tax havens, and I don't want to invest in stocks and shares as we have seen how volatile that game has been since the financial crash.”

“Fifa has lost the trust of the people. We cannot allow the architects and controllers of world football to get away with dragging the beautiful game through the grime of corruption and bribery.”

“Most of my players have come through academies with clubs. That's not a bad thing, but it's very different to what I grew up with.”

“I could have started playing professional at 16, 17 quite easily. For my position, I was far better than a lot of people around me. All the people in front of me had was experience but, talent-wise, I easily could get in.”

“I don't want to sit by the edge, like some other guys who have played their game. Earned money, have nice lifestyles, and don't say anything.”

“I think that what London wants are people with ideas and the willpower to get things through.”

“Fifa urgently needs a fresh start and transparency is key. Moving its headquarters is the only way the association will attract new people, many of whom are likely to have long lost faith with Fifa's ability to govern.”

“Football is always moving and you've got to keep up with it.”
