Is it true that you’ve twice been approached about the Southend manager’s job? (I remember the Express running the story about 10 years ago!)
Bernie Friend, Leigh on Sea
Yes, I was, you know. [A long pause]. I’ve been offered the Westend [er, that’s Southend, Sir Bobby] job twice. Now where was I when it first happened? [Another pause] I think I had come to the end of my contract at PSV and I had the choice of going home or on to Portugal (to Sporting Lisbon). I got an offer to take on Southend United and develop the club. I didn’t really think about it to be honest, Portugal was too good an offer. John Adams was chief executive at Southend and said I should consider taking on a smaller club as I’d done my big projects at home and abroad. I had other ideas though.

From a 4-4-2 interview with him.
