David Moyes
You don't always get what you want, but you work at it.
At Everton, we have always tried to do good deals and have always tried to buy at the right age and the right price.
I worked hard at Everton.
The last thing I'd ever want to see is another manager being sacked. I certainly don't like the phrase 'sacking season.'
Everyone needs an opportunity in life. I was given an opportunity as a manager, and you try and take it.
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 took over from Sir Alex, and it was always going to take time, whoever was in charge.
The manager needs to be given the opportunity to get on with his job and be given that time that he needs.
I had a great time at Everton when I was there and came away from that with a lot of high regard.
I'm desperately ambitious, and one of the things I haven't been able to do at Everton is win a trophy.
I think sometimes you need a run and a bit of confidence with getting the goals.
I don't think anyone ever turns down their national team opportunity, but I think it has to be at the right time.
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 would never have left Everton for anybody but an ambitious football club. And I thought Manchester United would have given me that opportunity.
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 hope that the future is great for West Ham.
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'll do everything I can to get West Ham as far up the table as I can.
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 would still consider myself in the elite group of managers. If it was me against someone else, I'd trust myself.
I've had my down times, as every manager does, but I bounce back pretty quickly.
I was a young manager at Everton and had 11 great years there.
I think, with more experience, I'm probably wiser, calmer. You hope you'll be able to use your knowledge a bit better.
I don't think managers have the opportunity to think in terms of a long-term vision for a club.
I had plenty of opportunities before I went to Spain to stay in England, and I had made a decision that I would go and work in Spain.
I got Everton competing at the top end of the league with a midtable budget.
I gave everything I could in trying to make Everton the best I could.
We had some glorious nights at Goodison and the fans were superb.
I've got huge affection for Everton. It was my life for over a decade.
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.
In this game, you're on your own. You either sink or swim.
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.
Bill Kenwright has taught me how to deal with people.
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.
Football is not always as glamourous as some might imagine, as the story of the first time I signed Marouane Fellaini perhaps illustrates.
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've always been quite strict when it comes to the appearance of my players. I don't want to see earrings in training, things like that.
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 would never speak about players at other football clubs - I think it's wrong. It's not my style.
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.
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.
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.
It will not get better than Sir Alex Ferguson. It just won't.
I worked hard at Preston.
I've worked for a long time to get myself in a position where maybe I'd be fortunate enough to land one of the big jobs.
I hope I can fulfill all my ambitions at Everton. But you never know in this game.
Real Sociedad fans are fantastic; they know that the club is trying to join the other teams who are always in the top part of the table - to get as close to them as possible.
Manchester United isn't about Wayne Rooney. Manchester United is about the team, the club.
There is no club in Europe that wouldn't want Van Persie at centre-forward.
You're never going to go through a season with no injuries.
