“Having the Kraft family involved in your club can only be good news.”

“I'm a real believer in getting on with the job you have - anything that happens in the future is dictated by what you do now.”

“You have to have your feet in the right position to make a pass, a lot of small things go into making a simple, straightforward pass.”

“During my first eight years at the Revs we drafted really well, but I got very little from the last two drafts that I took part in.”

“When it comes to Real Madrid, anything's possible.”

“When you're a head coach there's never a minute of the day when you're not thinking about your team. But when things aren't going well any problems are just accentuated.”

“Mourinho is a bit arrogant, but you've got to like him.”

“The bottom line is it's a pleasure to be working for the Kraft family.”

“You are going to lead a miserable life if you only do it for the money. You are never going to be happy.”

“The game is all about doing the basics well, then you've got a chance.”

“Man United under Fergie were about winning Champions League titles and winning Premier League titles.”

“Unless you've been in the job as a head coach, and certainly at the Premier League level and elite level, it's stressful. You're responsible for everything. You're responsible for how the team plays, if they don't turn up you're responsible for that, your job is to get them playing.”

“I just try and do my best every day of the week, and not look too far ahead. It's the old Liverpool style - you get it done and everything else comes to you.”

“I've always said, nothing wrong with being frustrated and upset with bad results, but you get it out of your system. You can't stick it in a bag and carry it around with you. You have to move on, same way you would if things went well. You know, don't spend the rest of the week patting everyone on the back and saying how well they've done.”

“You don't just turn up and have a passing game. You can't sit back, you have to be 100 percent concentrated to make it work.”

“It's the same with most injuries, different players take different amounts of time.”

“Mourinho criticised Eden Hazard for not doing his defensive duties. Eden Hazard is the type of player that you take that responsibility off.”

“Most players want to follow a pattern, especially when they're doing well, and when it goes wrong, they start looking for other patterns to do.”

“When your touch goes, it starts biting into your confidence as well.”

“Father Time catches up with us all.”
