“When you're a head coach there's never a minute of the day when you're...” — Steve Nicol Quote

“When you're a head coach there's never a minute of the day when you're not thinking about your team. But when things aren't going well any problems are just accentuated.”

“We had something over Everton in those games during the Eighties. We knew it and they did too. It was a huge thing to have, that psychological advantage, and we made the most of it.”

“I've always said, nothing wrong with being frustrated and upset with bad results, but you get it out of your system. You can't stick it in a bag and carry it around with you. You have to move on, same way you would if things went well. You know, don't spend the rest of the week patting everyone on the back and saying how well they've done.”

“When you've got a team with loads of talent that's not playing close to potential, the head coach is going to pay the ultimate price.”

“I tried to listen to way too many voices in my first stint as a head coach. The second time around, I know what I want and how I want to do it.”

“As a head coach, you're on two lists. You're the guy that might get fired, or you're the guy who might go somewhere.”
