Coventry have made an enquiry about him because of all the midfield players I've got,

At some stage I'll maybe have to do something about it because it is very difficult to keep six players happy,

You can't let players do what they wish and be professional. That's a fact. As for the team, Boro had two internationals when I got there in 1995. Now they have more than 15. And they didn't cost the fortune some suggest.

All the stuff about being a drinking club, or having players who were not good enough, I treat as rubbish.

I had to make a change. It was no slight on my staff either. We'd all been at Boro for seven years. But certain players had got too familiar with the set-up. I had to turn it round. Terry was the one man I could think of to do it. So I went for him.

It is rare that you find two players of the same team slugging it out with each other, it is very unfortunate.
