I think management is about just that - managing people via man-to-man skills.

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.

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.

But to me the bottom line is the more education you can give yourself, and the more preparation you can do, the less chance of failing.

I have seen the film The Alamo and right now I feel like I've got Davy Crockett behind me. Sometimes I feel like I could put my head in a bucket of water

It is winter time, my friend; buy couple of breads; find a place calm and quiet and feed the birds; and for this action of yours, ask no more reward than their cheerful singings!

People have only one way to be.

If we could just go back the last two or three years and do our buying a little more carefully, why... we would be O.K.
