It needed a calm head, but someone who knows the place. The players needed some love, and he has given them that. We have seen the players play with more quality, more together as a team, and they look like a very strong team."

Across his two spells in charge, only Sven Goran Eriksson, Carlo Ancelotti and Manuel Pellegrini have eclipsed his record of six straight home wins at the start of their first Premier League job."
"There's not that much noise, is there? I don't mean Wayne. I just mean in general. It's only noise if you listen to it. It doesn't affect me one bit, to be honest."
