The only gambling I do is on a Saturday afternoon when I might put on two wingers or two strikers.

At Newcastle, I had a team at the bottom of the table with a crowd that was very angry at what had gone on at the club for a period of time.

Success can be a legacy.

I remember the chief executive at Southampton after Nicola Cortese thanking me for the platform I left them. That recognition is always nice. That's like winning a trophy for me.

But what's wrong with asking players to use their imagination, their game intelligence, as well as oomph and spirit? I don't just want them to do basic things. I'm asking them to do complicated things.

Americans are analytical in their sports, which are very stop-start, so the numbers tend to add up. That's why Moneyball works for baseball. It doesn't work so well for football because it's a fluid game.
