I never had the slightest desire to be a major league manager, and all knew it. But Ban Johnson, Bob Hedges, and Jimmy McAleer persuaded me that the Browns were in a sort of a jam, and it was up to me, as an old standby, to do what I could.
I think, as long as I'm in this line of work, I'm always going to be mentioned when Celtic are looking for a new manager.
Some people asked me if I would be interested in managing the A's. I said a definite no thank you. At night, that place is a graveyard with lights.
I have no regrets about taking the United job. When you get offered a job like that, you take it.
Hopefully I will have a long career at Liverpool.
Every manager dreams of a job like this [the England job] and I will be sure to learn English within one month.
I am delighted to have joined Manchester United. To work with Jose Mourinho once again was an opportunity I couldn't turn down.
I wanted to stay in the Premier League, and Chelsea was a great opportunity for me.
I have no intention of coaching Boca Juniors, and no-one from the club has approached me to do so.
When Arsene Wenger called me to tell me that he would like me to come to his club, I don't think you imagine the satisfaction I felt just after hanging up the phone.
A man should never be appointed into a managerial position if his vision focuses on people's weaknesses rather than on their strengths.
I hope we get a decision shortly - I will be dead soon. (on wanting to be Man City manager)
I want to have a lot of success with Everton.
I would love to get back to the big leagues as a coach, possibly a manager. I would love that opportunity.
I hope I'm lucky enough to be at Arsenal for a long time.
Taking on a temporary coaching role at Manchester United is extremely exciting.
I am genuinely flattered by Chelsea's interest. It's a club I really respect, and hold in great esteem.
I just thought Spurs were a challenge that I had to take on.
What is a Fuhrungsspieler? I don't like the term. For me there is not a clear definition of the term.
