"I do not feel that I have a mandate from the entire world of football - the fans, the players, the clubs, the people who live, breathe and love football."

I was not born to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion. Let us see who is the strongest. What force has a multitude? They can only force me who obey a higher law than I.... I do not hear of men being forced to live this way or that by masses of men. What sort of life were that to live?
