You never stop learning in football management and I certainly believe the invaluable experience from my time as Villa manager will prove hugely beneficial in the next stage of my managerial career.

There's no sentiment in football.

I've got a lot of respect for Norwich City as a football club, there's some really good people there.

If people don't like me, they don't like me - if they want to shake my hand, they'll shake their hand.

I've been to some great clubs, great people, watched them training, getting a different view on football, and really enjoyed it.

When you're a manager you always have tunnel vision at certain times.

I have no idea what would have happened to me had I stayed at Motherwell.

Villa's history doesn't frighten me. Not at all. I respect it. I actually embrace it, because I've been through it. I know how difficult it is to win the European Cup.

Any club that wins the European Cup gives it more credence.

I won't please everybody every minute of the day.
