You do hear a lot about 'player power,' but I'm one of those who believes the manager is there to take control, to be in charge.

When you're told you're going to miss out, initially, that first hour after the manager's named the team, you're really disappointed. You can't imagine anything worse. But you can't show that. You've got to go out there and support the lads.

The way you adapt and play against different teams and different styles is going to be important.

I've been in the Premier League for 10 years, more, and the money I've been paid is phenomenal compared to your average, everyday working man.

To play in the Premier League again would be amazing.

I treat the young boys as I wanted to be treated when I came through at Aston Villa.

Everton fans don't just come to watch the football. They are there for Everton, the club. They really believe in the history of the club.

All I can do is give 100% for the club. That is all the fans will want to see anyway.

Most people would snap your arm off to do what I've done, but for me to be able to say my career was successful, I need to have some trophies and some medals in my cabinet when I finish.
