I hope I can fulfill all my ambitions at Everton. But you never know in this game.

I worked hard at Everton.

Your reputation doesn't stand for anything. You have to come and try to get up and show you're capable of doing the job.

With Marouane's hair, I actually wondered if it might take a bit of the pace off the ball when he went up for a header. But I soon realised it was part of his personality. Part of who he is.

I'm always very careful when I'm spending the club's money. I treat it like it's my own, and I always try to sign players for what I feel is the right price.

Football is not always as glamourous as some might imagine, as the story of the first time I signed Marouane Fellaini perhaps illustrates.

You can't ring up another manager and say, 'Who do you think I should pick this week?' But you take the good and bad from people as you go along.

Bill Kenwright has taught me how to deal with people.

We had some glorious nights at Goodison and the fans were superb.

I gave everything I could in trying to make Everton the best I could.

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

I would have to consider the U.S.A. job if I was approached because it's one of the big nations in world football, with massive growth potential.

I love to see goals and attacking play; I want us to be entertaining. But it's no good if you're shipping goals.

I have a point to prove. Sometimes you have to repair things, and maybe I have a little bit that I need to repair.

I would like it to be the rules all round the world that that is the case - you manage the country of your birth.

I think sometimes you need a run and a bit of confidence with getting the goals.

I'm desperately ambitious, and one of the things I haven't been able to do at Everton is win a trophy.

I had a great time at Everton when I was there and came away from that with a lot of high regard.

The manager needs to be given the opportunity to get on with his job and be given that time that he needs.

I took over from Sir Alex, and it was always going to take time, whoever was in charge.

Do I feel I should have been given more time? Of course I do. To go to a club like Manchester United and follow someone like Sir Alex after the time he had been there, to stay for ten months... It couldn't be a revolution at Manchester United; it had to be evolution. It had to take time.

I'll do everything I can to get West Ham as far up the table as I can.

I think, with more experience, I'm probably wiser, calmer. You hope you'll be able to use your knowledge a bit better.

We had a really good club at Everton who gave me the opportunity to do the job the way I felt it needed to be done.
