Quotes from David Moyes

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.

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.

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.

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've had my down times, as every manager does, but I bounce back pretty quickly.

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

Phil Neville could be on the road to one day, maybe, becoming the England manager. I know him closely. He was a great captain, a great leader. He's had great experience.

I would never speak about players at other football clubs - I think it's wrong. It's not my style.

Clubs are much stronger than any one individual.

It was too short: I've said many times that I would have done things differently had I known I'd only have 10 months because United are one of the few clubs in football who could have given a manager more time, like Bill Kenwright did with me at Everton.

One of the reasons why I wanted to be part of the League Managers Association was because I felt there were an awful lot of foreign coaches coming into these shores, but we were not exporting enough British talent.

I have always been an advocate of players and coaches going abroad if that's the right opportunity.

I got Everton competing at the top end of the league with a midtable budget.

In this game, you're on your own. You either sink or swim.

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.
