I work with him every day and I don't see any desire missing. I hope that's the start of a run for Alan.
I hope I never have to face that feeling of missing and sending my country or team out of a competition.
Glenn is the one who gets us up. He is the one who is preparing the team, who is coaching us and who is talking to us before and after games. He deserves all the credit and we now have something to go for for the rest of the season. I can only hope we can repay him and all the supporters.
There's no doubt he can finish as top scorer, and I sincerely hope he does. I would be more than happy is Michael were to take that away from me.
I've never wanted to leave. I'm here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well
Hopefully now, with the objective achieved, the players will relax a bit and you might see more style and flair.
That's the way he manages. He was like that when he was appointed and he won't change so people shouldn't complain,
When you give quality teams a two goals start like we have done, against Manchester United and Liverpool, then more often or not you are not going to get back.
You can take 100 penalties in training, but when you go out on that pitch in front of all those people and the television cameras, it's completely different.
I have had interviews and got close to taking a managerial job. I would consider going back into football.
Whenever I have any spare time I have a game of golf.
Some players are criticised for having no loyalty. Well, I wanted to go back home and play for the club I supported. I don't think that's a crime.
Management interests me at some stage in my life, I have always said that. When that will be I really couldn't tell you.
I miss walking out of the tunnel, the 90 minutes and the adrenalin rush that I'll never, ever replace.
