Certainly Sheffield United have been a good fit for me.

I've come a different path to some and, while I respect everyone else's 100 per cent, I'm proud of mine. I'm proud of where I've come from and where I am trying to get to.

We are not trying to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes it goes well, sometimes you have your off days. We have a way of going about things. Basically we are positive people trying to improve players and teams.

I don't want it to be comfortable for players to step in, stroll about and walk away with three points. But there won't be any old-school flat balls, cold tea or wet floors.

Togetherness is huge. I just can't see anybody getting results in team sport without being together.

I don't want it to be a holiday camp, but it shouldn't be a concentration camp either. It is about getting the balance right with my relationship with them. I will do anything for the players but I'm not their pal as well.

You have to be calm as a manger.

I still live in the city. I still jump on the bus.

We used to get into other players' heads mentally and physically. In my day it was me versus you, my future versus your future.

I've come across people who look smart in a suit who haven't really got a lot underneath. Football is an unforgiving business and you're easily found out if you're a bit of a fraud.

There is a lot of crap spoken about footballers being nomads but when you get to a club and you create a spirit, there is no doubt players want to do well for their team-mates and club.

Dave Bassett was a key influence on me, the way he treated and talked to people. Wimbledon and Sheffield United were quite direct sides and he got the best out of what he had, but he was an innovator.

That was how I felt at non-league. I never looked at it then and said, 'I want to be a Premier League manager one day'. I just wanted to do a good job and see where it could take me.

I'm one who will go and have a beer with my pals on a Sunday afternoon. I'll go on a Friday night and have an hour with my pals, lads that I've knocked about with for 20-25 years.

Everyone has their own background and some managers are Premier League footballers, international footballers, some of them find themselves getting jobs.

I'm delighted with the experiences I've had and I've had some experiences to say the least!

Sometimes I get recognised and sometimes I don't. The bus drivers will sometimes stop to try and get a selfie at peak times with traffic all around you!

Sheffield has everything as far as I'm concerned and the football club is right in the heart of it.

You can't sit back, rest on laurels and think about the past - what the journey has been.

I have a short-term view, just keep going game after game. The position we end up will be what we deserve.
