After 40 years in football management there's not a lot I haven't seen There've been big highs but a fair share of lows too When I have to make difficult decisions I make a point of avoiding newspapers phone-ins Twitter
- all of it But there's always a load of armchair-pundits waiting to start on me Being a manager has never been easy but between the fans & the media it often feels impossible to get it right In It Shouldn't Happen to a Manager I talk about how different the job is now from what it was like when I used to play For one managers used to drive up & down motorways all day to scout for players
- now there's so much analysis & global scouting It's a different thing completely In this book I share everything I've learnt from a lifetime of both wins & losses & wisdom from greats like Cloughie & Ferguson I'll tell you about what actually happens in the dressing room including when Clough smashed the door off its hinges; the bust-ups at full-time like when I kicked a tray of sandwiches on Don Hutchinson's head; & the times when I had to swap an arm round a player's shoulder for a boot up the arse It's my guide to being a manager the Harry way
