David Moyes is a successful coach known for his contributions to a specific sport, such as football (soccer). He might have managed prominent teams.
The manager needs to be given the opportunity to get on with his job and be given that time that he needs.
I think I'm capable of doing the job at any club in the world, so I'm sure I can do it at West Ham.
I worked hard at Everton.
I think, with more experience, I'm probably wiser, calmer. You hope you'll be able to use your knowledge a bit better.
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'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.
I'll answer as many questions as I can, but when people have a contract at other football clubs, I think it's wrong to talk about them.
There is no club in Europe that wouldn't want Van Persie at centre-forward.
Chicharito is a really good player, and his finishing ability is as good as there is anywhere.
I hope that the future is great for West Ham.
I got Everton competing at the top end of the league with a midtable budget.
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.
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.
I have no regrets about taking the United job. When you get offered a job like that, you take it.
Bryan Gray at Preston gave me a chance, even though Joe Royle and Ian Rush were being linked with the job. He taught me an awful lot about structuring the job and encouraged me to invest in young players.
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.
Coaches are important, but the senior players at a club are crucial.
Messi gets kicked by everybody, and he gets up and carries on. Doesn't scream, doesn't fake injury.
I've got huge affection for Everton. It was my life for over a decade.
I gave everything I could in trying to make Everton the best I could.
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.
When I took over at Everton, the challenge for us was to try to go toe-to-toe with a club having success in Europe and sometimes competing for the Premier League.
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.
The job at Everton was so good. I worked for a great chairman, great people at the club.
I think retrospective viewing of diving is nearly more important than some of the technology they are on about bringing in. If you do that and players get banned, it wouldn't take long before you'd cut it out.
You don't always get what you want, but you work at it.
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've always admired great football managers, and Sir Alex Ferguson had so much success.
Football has always been in my blood. It's more than just an occupation, but as you get a little bit older and wiser, you want to be able to pick and choose and make sure you get the right club at the right time.
Everyone needs an opportunity in life. I was given an opportunity as a manager, and you try and take it.
