One of the reasons why I wanted to be part of the League Managers Association was because I felt there were an awful lot of foreign coaches coming into these shores, but we were not exporting enough British talent.

As a young Scottish footballer growing up - I always used to follow Scotland and watch the games - Kenny Dalglish, Graeme Souness, and Joe Jordan were players I looked up to.

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.

People often talk about a coach's philosophy, but generally, I think managers look at the players they have and then decide on their style.

In football it is impossible to win every match but we must do everything to show in every game that we have ambition.

Too often in this world, the things you root for - whether sports teams or spouses to recover from horrible diseases - don't quite pan out.

The stance I took was there is no room for racial bias anywhere in sports. I believe that was basically all I said about it. Certainly I was cast as an abolitionist. Death threats came. Hate mail came.

Obviously, I'm a female in sports. You work really hard, you prep really hard, you put a lot into the show, so when you have certain comments, and people are saying, 'Oh you add nothing,' or, 'You got your job because of this.' Really? Why don't you look at my master's degree?
