Quotes By Stuart Pearce

The way I was brought up by my parents and guided through my football life by the influences of various managers means that in some ways I am black and white.

I am nothing without the players.

There is a set of rules and a code of conduct that I believe that you should adhere to in life.

I have lived my life that way and I expect the people who work for me to be the same way.

I just get the impression that everyone is willing me to succeed.

I am ready to work, I am ready for this job and I am ready for this challenge.

I have made it totally clear to the players that my door will always be open.

Football's in my blood - and eventually I want to be the one making decisions.

I will do whatever it takes to win a football match.

I am one of those people who quite enjoys responsibility.

I enjoy making the decisions.

I think management is about just that - managing people via man-to-man skills.

I am doing the job with the mentality that I am going to be here a long time and I hope that I am.

But to me the bottom line is the more education you can give yourself, and the more preparation you can do, the less chance of failing.

If my results are not good I will lose my job.

I want them to be fully committed to the work place and fully committed to the people they work for.
