Nobody at the FA has ever explained why I was overlooked and not even asked for an interview.

You now have these owners who are all successful businessmen, and they think they should be winning. They come in thinking that they should be winning. Some don't understand that only one team can win the league.

When I was a player, you only left the club if they wanted to get rid of you. That was your team - if you were at West Ham, you didn't leave until the manager wanted to replace you. You didn't think about playing for Arsenal or Chelsea.

I've enjoyed my time at every club I have worked at, I've been lucky, but I won't jump in and finish up working with a chairman I didn't like very much.

I would love to work with a young and upcoming coach somewhere and give him some experience. Something like Gerry Francis overseeing Tony Pulis.

All my mates are West Ham supporters; I went there at 15.

My record speaks for itself.

For eight years at West Ham, I made a profit. And I kept them in the Premier League. Took them into Europe.

At West Ham, I was never able to buy the top-flight players. It was a case of looking around, trying to do deals. I was always taking a gamble.

Football wears you out, and when things are not going well, it's not enjoyable.
