Sign players with ability but f**king tons of character and hunger. From an interview 14 April 2012:
?I want winners, I don?t want players whose careers are dominated by money,? he added.
?That will come later as a result of success. Like here, we won League One and then the Championship and now those players reap the reward.
?I like hungry players. That?s what I?ve got. They never ask for anything and they never throw in the towel.
?When Norwich went up to the Championship everyone was telling me to buy Premier League players.
?I asked them how they knew that the players I already had weren?t good enough.?
There are loads of half decent players out there, take Holt for example. Had a few chances earlier in his career and never really made it, then Norwich come along and he realises this is the one chance to f**king burn everyone else to the ground and he takes it and wreaks havoc for 3 years, despite everyone saying he was too fat, slow, unproven and s**t for the Championship, then the Premier League.
