There is no magic formula to success. It is down to hard work and graft on the training ground and having a good attitude.Collection: Attitude
We are all competing and all trying to do the same thing and I think it is very important we all show respect for each other.Collection: Respect
If you've got great people, you've got a chance of creating a great team.Collection: Chance
I've always had the mindset that you've got to be creative and not moan or whinge at what you're given.
It's up to us to try to recreate those times - the attacking verve, the swagger that Kevin Keegan's 1990s Newcastle had, the flair the individual players possessed and the team identity.
One result can swing opinions. You have to be ready for that. It is very difficult, so you need a very level-headed chairman, owner and support from above.
We want to find ways to stimulate people, keep everyone motivated, to keep progressing and improving.
Who knows whether I will go into management. I'm ambitious, I want to progress and want to feel like I'm improving. Whatever happens, will happen.
Players educating themselves on all areas of the world is a positive thing; I've got no issue with it - but my players need to be focused on playing football.
I love to coach and to try and make players better, think of new drills and ways to make the teams better.
It's about being consistent with the players, it's about not ripping up everything you believe in, not listening to the noise around you, getting the best out of every single player.
When VAR was first introduced I think it was used regularly to try to get the right decision. But I think the use of it has been diluted and I don't see it effectively intervening as much as it did in a positive way.
For the benefit of the league you want everybody to be treated the same and you want a level playing field.
I think I am addicted to the game. I think you have to be, with the volume of games you are watching and the amount of interest you have to have. You have to love the game.
If you watched, my Bournemouth teams always tried to play on the front foot and play brave, attacking football.
I want to play football that entertains and excites and I think that is the type of football Newcastle fans want to see.
Historically, if you look at all my signings, when I first work with a player there is nearly always a period of adjustment.
One of the ways we work is that we attack with relationships. The only way you build those relationships is by repetition in training, by attacking with everyone together as a team so you know what you're going to do.
You always need to win. I'm in the kind of job when only winning is acceptable really because you can highlight positives but ultimately only winning silences any outside noise.
I've been loyal to Bournemouth and it's extremely difficult to leave a club that's been close to my heart.
I didn't even want to be a manager, I was just given an opportunity to do it and felt I shouldn't say no.
I don't want to sound like a dictator but I don't seek too much opinion from players. That's not to say I won't bounce things off them. But they are looking for you to lead.
Players need to play freely. They need to play without that weight of expectation and to concentrate on their normal game rather than worrying about what's said about them afterwards.
We always felt that, by implementing a football philosophy that could be transferable from League One to the Championship, and the Championship to the Premier League, it would give us more of a chance.
