Thank you all for coming to my talk this evening. It’s nice to see so many people in the audience. [20] Building team spirit is always the focal point of what I have been trying to do as a manager. When I first went to Crystal Palace, football players would finish training and then go straight home. There was no atmosphere, so we brought in a pool table and fruit machines. When football players choose to spend time together, it generates a better atmosphere. The team spirit is very important, but I don’t believe in trying to motivate the team as a team. I try to motivate them as individuals. So I don’t give team talks. I speak to the players individually. [21] And I try not to put too much pressure on them. I believe that football players perform best when they are relaxed. If they’re too tense, I can guarantee they won’t play well in a game.
    I also believe in giving people autonomy. I like all the people who work for me to be autonomous; therefore, I very rarely interfere. I feel people should be judged on their results. If they prove incompetent, then I’m incompetent if I keep on employing them. It’s like that with the team. I get criticized for not interfering during a game and making more substitutions. But I feel if I’ve chosen these eleven players to get a result, then I should leave them alone to get on with it.
    If I’m dropping a player from the team, I don’t feel I have to explain it to them. If they want to discuss it, I’ll say "Come back and talk about it in a couple of days’ time." But I don’t try to re-motivate them. It’s up to them to have the character to fight back. [22] I’m a great believer that almost everything you achieve in life is down to your attitude. If I have a football player who is magnificently gifted but has a bad attitude, I won’t waste my time on him.
