Show me your eyes and you may as well show me your cards.
The way I was brought up by my parents and guided through my football life by the influences of various managers means that in some ways I am black and white.
I can see the carrot at the end of the tunnel.
I do appreciate that the most important thing as manager is to get good results.
In a utopia you want to win matches by several goals and by playing a wonderful brand of football. But that's utopia.
I think management is about just that - managing people via man-to-man skills.
I have a big job on my hands now, there is no mistaking that, but I feel as though I have calmness within myself. (on being Manchester City manager)
I don't view myself as a particularly intelligent people, but I do have one ability that I've demonstrated over and over again, that's helped me see things that other people for whatever reason have not seen. That's that most people see what they expect to see, what they want to see, what conventional wisdom tells them to see. I guess it could be stated that most people only hear the music, not the lyrics of human events.
When I was younger, I thought I was too young to really be personal. I thought that what I was feeling and thinking might be half-baked.
Everyone went crazy over Wayne Rooney, but I get more excited by Cristiano Ronaldo.
They love the fact you made it, but hate the fact you got it. The stairway to heaven is packed. . . I'm in the lobby. Too scared to go to sleep, cause most times I often doubt my dreams.
