Iain Dowie Quotations

It will have to be a special run but I have always been the optimist.

I don't want to sell Andrew Johnson and the money is not important to me. What we must do is start well and show that we are going to get back. But that is not easy. It is going to be very difficult.

We are going to have a difficult-to-beat side. If we get one or two other signings, or re-signings, done it will be very good.

We are going to be careful with it. It is important we get it right. It is not about one game but it is about the 35-36 games to go.

If he had played in Northern Ireland (when England lost 1-0), he would have been a breath of fresh air. He has six goals already this season, and he will score at international level.

Marco has shown us that he is a great kid in training and I felt that it was the right time for him after he had showed more than enough in a recent reserve game at Arsenal,

Clinton's relieved to be back scoring. It's been a lean spell for him but he's a good striker and I've tried to be encouraging.
