Phil Neville could be on the road to one day, maybe, becoming the England manager. I know him closely. He was a great captain, a great leader. He's had great experience.

One of the reasons why I wanted to be part of the League Managers Association was because I felt there were an awful lot of foreign coaches coming into these shores, but we were not exporting enough British talent.

I have always been an advocate of players and coaches going abroad if that's the right opportunity.

Doesn't everyone in life deserve a chance to show what they can do?

Coaches are important, but the senior players at a club are crucial.

Maybe it's old-fashioned, but I've always preferred to see players with my own eyes than on a video or going on somebody else's recommendation. If that means getting up early and taking a flight, then so be it. Our success at Everton came from having a great recruitment team who I made sure were out watching the players.

It was too short: I've said many times that I would have done things differently had I known I'd only have 10 months because United are one of the few clubs in football who could have given a manager more time, like Bill Kenwright did with me at Everton.

Managers get interviewed for jobs, but I think it should be the managers who are interviewing the chairman.

You don't always get what you want, but you work at it.

Messi gets kicked by everybody, and he gets up and carries on. Doesn't scream, doesn't fake injury.

I turned down Premier League jobs; I didn't think they were right.

I would be very surprised if Phil Neville didn't go into management and possibly Johnny Heitinga, too.

It's definitely better to be a good league team than a good cup team. It shows consistency. The cup could be down to a lucky draw and might not show the value of your team like the league does.

I don't think I've necessarily got anything to prove to anyone. I've worked really hard my whole career.

I'd been at Everton for more than 11 years. We'd qualified for the Champions League, got to an FA Cup final. I'd been voted manager of the season three times.

The job at Everton was so good. I worked for a great chairman, great people at the club.

I was a footballer for a long, long time.

As a young Scottish footballer growing up - I always used to follow Scotland and watch the games - Kenny Dalglish, Graeme Souness, and Joe Jordan were players I looked up to.

In England, I always liked the way Terry Venables worked.

I've always admired great football managers, and Sir Alex Ferguson had so much success.

Going back to my playing days, I was at Cambridge United for a couple of seasons, and, of course, Newmarket is just down the road. On my days off, I would go to Newmarket quite often, park up by the gallops, and watch the horses work. It was something else.

I agree with Arsene Wenger that finishing in the top four is the equivalent of winning a trophy - even if you don't get to parade silverware.

If you play for Manchester United, there is always someone out there getting ready to take your jersey. It is up to you to fight and make sure you keep it.

I think people know that I've got things in my mind that I want to do and things I wanted to change in time. I can't do it all overnight.
