David Moyes

I've got huge affection for Everton. It was my life for over a decade. ”

Everyone needs an opportunity in life. I was given an opportunity as a manager, and you try and take it. ”

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

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

I don't think managers have the opportunity to think in terms of a long-term vision for a club. ”

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. ”

Manchester United was a club with great traditions, traditions where they tended to pick British managers. That tradition has now gone. ”

I watch a lot of football. It was always my hobby. My wife just sits there with a bored face, thinking, 'Is he really watching this?' ”

I would still consider myself in the elite group of managers. If it was me against someone else, I'd trust myself. ”

It's true that players can take time to settle at a new club. I remember people telling me it took Patrice Evra and Nemanja Vidic a while - players who became great players for United. ”
