- "When I go, God's going to have to give up his favourite chair."
- "I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business…but I was in the top one."
- "I regret telling the entire world and his dog how good a manager I was. I knew I was the best but I should have said nowt and kept the pressure off 'cos they'd have worked it out for themselves."
- "His wife can't sing and his barber can't cut hair." (On David Beckham)
- "We used to go to the pictures every Saturday night but we had to leave a little bit early and get home and watch Match of the Day. My wife still complains she missed the last five minutes of every film we saw."
- "I only ever hit Roy the once. He got up so I couldn't have hit him very hard." (On dealing with Roy Keane)
- "Outside the family life, there is nothing better than winning the European Cups."
- "Resignations are for prime ministers and those caught with their trousers down, not for me."
- "We'd talk for 20 minutes, then decide I was right." (On how he handled disputes with players)
- "On occasions I have been big-headed. I think most people are when they get in the limelight. I call myself big head just to remind myself not to be."
