I think the Jets came in with a legitimate offer. At that point, I hadn't had one from the Eagles. I had to think, 'I've really got to work up here [in New York]? Do you really want to deal with that on a weekly basis?
I didn't want to go to Golden State. I didn't want to go back in Steph's shadow.
If I was a normal player at West Ham and wanted to join a Chinese club, nobody would have said anything. But since I was a leader at West Ham and thought about that offer, I was suddenly a bad man.
If studies come out and show that playing football is detrimental to your health for the long term, even for the short term, I think that's up to the players then to make the decision about whether they're going to play or not play.
It is not about the system, it is about how individuals perform on the pitch and whether they do the right things, so it is not as simple as just picking a system.
I give a lot of instruction in training. It's difficult for me to do the same in matches, so I need guys on the pitch to read the game, to understand what we want.
The worthy GM never purposely kills players' PCs, He presents opportunities for the rash and unthinking players to do that all on their own.
Sometimes you do want linemen to cut-block. It depends. It's all about what they feel.
