I coach defending an awful lot but I don't think too many teams in the Premier League or in the world of football actually coach defending anymore, certainly not the full-backs.
Football today means players stay less now than ever before and you have to accept that. As a manager, a big part of your business is doing far too much business that you don't want to do really.
We are in a position where we always have to change more players than we really want to and that brings a lot of instability and makes your job so much harder than it should be, because players come and go almost at the drop of the hat.
People seem to expect when that happens, for players to be brought in that are so much better than the ones that have left. In the end they might be better but in the beginning they might be worse. Because they all have to gel and get to know each other and get to know you.
I've worked at St James' and in the first game of the season there the fans will lift the players.
The problem for me is we are denying British coaches positions in all divisions now, particularly in the top division and the Championship. We need to do something about that. As a country, as the FA, as the Premier League, we need to protect the position of our own highly qualified coaches who are not even getting an interview now.
Far too much emphasis on what is deemed the 'wrong' style of football. That's what annoys me. Your style depends on who you're playing and what group of players you have at your disposal.
People too often - because it's an easy, lazy tag - dwell on my style of football.
My model is much deeper than looking after players. My model is understanding the industry, working within it.
It's not a very secure industry but it's one we all love and enjoy doing.
Football is to be enjoyed and I've enjoyed my life in football for many years, it's the pinnacle of my career and I want to enjoy it the most.
The bonding of the team is exceptionally important and trying to create a good team spirit and to have some fun.
I'm hardened over many years. You toughen yourself for whatever job. You either take the good with the bad or don't bother.
I think that the problem for any player you want to select for England, not just in isolation, is that it'll be a concern if that player doesn't play for his team.
The England team shouldn't be picked on whichever players are in the Premier League when you've got a Premier League player playing in the Championship.
I am very shocked and disappointed to be leaving Blackburn Rovers. I am extremely proud to have managed this club and I enjoyed a fantastic relationship with the players, my staff and the supporters during my time in charge.
It's great having the best league in the world, no doubt about that, but the downside of that is the national team will suffer.
If you're talking about English football very few teams play 4-4-2 now: it's either 4-4-1-1, 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, they are the three major systems played throughout the Premier League.
I am not a great sleeper, so 30 minutes of meditation, they say in research, is as good as two or three hours sleep, which is why you feel better.
What is entertainment? Entertainment is the master of defence in Europe - Simeone.
