What they said

Guus Hiddink: "Football has changed in the last few years a lot regarding organisation, television rights, sponsors. It's a very interesting world for broadcasters," he explained.

"We must not forget it's about the players who want to perform and, equally in importance, the public, the man in the street who likes to watch high level football.

"I was happy to see my colleagues have a similar point of view: the public is the most important thing."

Steve McClaren: “You can be a young manager coming, but I think young managers come in and have a go, they learn their lessons of going through experiences good and bad.

“The likes of Guus and myself to a degree have had experiences like this. That counts for a lot.

“It doesn’t mean you will get out of things but it counts for a lot.

“You know what to do. We have to use that experience, he’s using it at Chelsea.

“I’ve got to use my experience at Newcastle to make sure we climb up the league.”
