A Quote by Chris Hughton

When I started my pathway, black players were often considered to be good wingers, good players, but not captain or management material. It has changed since then, which is pleasing, but we still have so far to go.

When I was a player the mentality was black people would make good players but weren't captain material or managerial material. That stereotyping existed.

Chris Hughton

That's management. It's a social job as much as anything else, finding out what people are like, seeing through them. There have been good players and not-so-good players who I have moved along because I thought there would be a clash of character.

Tony Pulis

If I look at my era, you looked at the black players who were playing then and there weren't many - Clyde Best... Certainly as each generation has gone, there have been role models for young black players to aspire to.

Good people hire people better than themselves. So A players hire A+ players. But others hire below their skills to make themselves look good. So B players hire C players. C players hire D players, etc.

Guy Kawasaki

It is always the great challenge when you have a good team and you have good players and you find a way to keep those players with you, then how do you add around the edges?

Mike Budenholzer

Chinese players are not as naturally skilled like South American or European players, like players who learned football when they were kids. They're not good.

Carlos Tevez

There is a common mistake people make. They say, 'We need to play the young English boys.' Of course, but only if they are good. How can you measure that? If they are playing with good players and if they can fit into the level of the good players. That's why, because of the level of the Premier League, England has so many talented players.

Gianfranco Zola

It's always good to have your players with you, it makes you feel great. That is just it. The coach and the players understand one another but people outside don't understand. But it's good to see him, it's good to see all the players.

Stephen Keshi

Every season, players come in and players go, but I think it is good news if top players come in.

Lukas Podolski

For the fans, for the club, for the young players, I want to show there is a pathway at Fulham for young players to go through in the first team.

Ryan Sessegnon

I hate to say it's not a Laker but Michael Jordan. He's been the greatest player I've ever seen. And I'm probably a harsh judge of talent in the sense that I admire players that are really good defensive players and really good offensive players.

Jerry West

I think players maybe now want to look more pretty than anything else. What I feel disappointed about when I watch games is too many players think of themselves. Still good players, maybe better than we were, but looking too much at themselves.

Patrick Vieira

You can have really good statistics, which are really good, and it's a serious advantage, but when push comes to shove, it's about players communicating and players playing together.

Gerrit Cole

The players who tend to make the difference are often great dribblers. Some are very fast; others have a repertoire of moves and feints. These players need to have great technique in order to be good dribblers. But I'm not a good dribbler.

Thomas Muller

I have had players who are good, and who know they are good; I have had players who are bad and know they are bad; I have had players who are good, but who don't know they are good; I have had players who are bad, but who don't know they are bad. It is this last group that has won more games for me than the first three groups combined.
