I spoke to Alex Ferguson and it was made clear that I wasn't going to get enough football next season,

He may ultimately be the safest pick in the draft. This guy's a football player. I suspect he'll go very early, and the team that gets him will be fortunate.

He's an experienced player who has played European and international football and will add real quality to our squad.

There are lots of concerns facing English football but for me the major one is the way in which football clubs are run by owners, whether they are growing organically and sustainably and how that is being policed by the football authorities.

We used to play football on the levee, with no shirts on in the summer - August in New Orleans - and my skin would turn red. They'd call me Redskin, Red Apache, then it turned around to Apache Red.

With good coaching, proper motivation and the right club structure with organic growth, you can achieve an awful lot in football.
