Milan Mandaric Quotations

We're still expecting a response from Sheffield United to give us a green light to talk directly to Warnock.

We have respect for Harry, both of us. I can't see any reason why we won't be able to clear up that situation in a positive way. I have been talking to Alexandre on a daily basis and there's no different feelings or attitude to Harry. He's done a wonderful job and I believe he is the man to take us forward.

One dream was fulfilled and now the other is not far behind and it will be a wonderful sight to behold.

Neil would be top choice and we are well in progress with him.

I am getting messages saying we should sack Harry. I understand the frustrations but everyone needs to get behind him.

I also rate Alex McLeish very highly and I would love to have the opportunity to speak to him.

I will have a discussion with my manager and chief executive and we will look at the situation. Then we will go back to Celtic and try to influence them with additional money. That is definite.

My thoughts are now and always will be with George,

We will see additional players...we are supporting our manager 100 per cent and his needs.

We are in the process of talking to Warnock's financial advisory people,

The reason we didn't talk to Alex before was that we had information that he would rather stay at Rangers.

We want to give ourselves a chance and we're going to be a bit more aggressive in the market than I thought we would be.

We are trying to go back to them with a deal. I think it's only fair they know we won't give up.

As far as I'm concerned he'll never die... he's been a very special friend and a very special man.

This is a player with a lot of potential. He has both pace and skill so he is an investment.

This is not an easy time but I ask everyone connected with the club -- especially the fans -- to stick together and give their usual loyal support to help turn things around.

This isn't the time to panic. If you lose a couple of games in the middle of the season nobody takes much notice, but I'm behind the manager and players, and believe we'll do well. I'm backing them.

They're four crucial games for us. We are looking to win six points minimum out of these games. We have got to have 20 points on Boxing Day, including from Boxing Day - that's our goal. Then in January we have a chance to see if we can enhance our quality.

It's a tough question. It's a question I ask myself more than often. I don't believe it will come to that.

It's not right that they play for 90 minutes and train four or five times a week and then pick up a big salary at the end of it.

I just worry that I just shook George's hand for the last time.

I promised fans when I first came here that I would deliver a Premier League team and a stadium to match,

I rate Alex McLeish very highly and I would love to have the opportunity to speak to him.

I can't believe Gordon Taylor is singling out Pompey in his views. He should look around the Premier League teams and tell me if we are alone or even the most excessive users of foreign players. We are not.

I'd rather buy English players but there is pressure on us to be successful in the short term.

He also has a goal-scoring prowess which has seen him score regularly at every level he has played.

I am a great believer in loyalty, trust and integrity. Gary made a commitment to this club, the supporters and myself and I fully expect him to homour that commitment.
