As coaches, we learn to accept criticism for our decisions. If a writer says you shouldn't have gone for it on fourth-and-one, we understand that's part of the job. We expect it.

While different people may approach opportunities in different ways, we need to base decisions on a fundamental set of values as we chart our course of action.

The growing influence of focus groups means we are all in danger of being excessively cowed by their feedback.

I knew I'd never make it back to the major leagues as a player. Lee MacPhail came to me and asked if I wanted to manage the Yankees' Fort Lauderdale club. I thought about it for a day or two and...

In modern football, you need to make decisions quickly and play fast.

Could I have walked out then? If I had, Terry wouldn't have accepted the job.

If I could walk into the 'Friends' audition again and go or not go, I have to say it's 50-50.

I have always said there are just two people who could make me change my decision to stay at Barcelona. One of those two people is my wife.

Before I take an offer seriously, I do my own research.

There are times in your life where you need to make vital choices.

The way I grew up was making the right play every time.

Even if you did want to rely solely on stats to run your team, how accurate is the information if it is being assembled by human beings?

Sometimes you need to make difficult choices.

It's 'Line of Duty' - you can't second-guess anything!

It is possible that people who share core values will make choices along the same lines.

Decision-making is very scary for me.

The idea is to recruit in a closed environment, rather than listening to the press or getting distracted by conflicting agents' claims. We try and make cold decisions based on information.

You can't go forward and backwards at the same time.

Sentence first, verdict afterwards.

When in doubt, don't.

I do not give money for just mere hopes.

I'm going to trust my instincts when something's wrong.

There'll be differences of opinion in just about every intelligence analysis that you make.

After a battle is over people talk a lot about how decisions were methodically reached but actually there's always a hell of a lot of groping around.

If you think too long you think wrong.

Don't just DO something. Stand there! {and get perspective and understanding}

Even the early droplets of selfish decisions suggest a direction. Then the little inflecting rivulets come, merging into small brooks and soon into larger streams; finally one is swept along by a vast...
