“If a chairman sacks the manager he initially appointed, he should go as well.”

“I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one.”
About Martin O’Neil’s success at Leicester City: “Anybody who can do anything in Leicester other than knit a jumper has got to be a genius. If he’d been English or Swedish, he’d have walked the England job.”
