And every manager will only succeed if the recruitment policy of the club is very good.

There was many, many times, there's many, many times and many, many phone calls and opportunities that consortiums are going to take over the football club.

You know, there were so many, Cammy, that just contacted me and said, would I help?

And I said, well, if you're taking over the club, I'll be only too happy to help with the right infrastructure and the right financing from the new owners.

That dismisses the myths about how we used to play.

Because on top of that, we had Gary Speed, Kevin Nolan, and people like that, Stanley Yannikopoulos, Doofy.

You know what I mean?
