* «But it just seems that when we get into those kind of situations, there seems to be somebody who says, 'Hang on, you don't want to get too happy too soon', and bang». (om å være manager i Sunderland).
* «At the moment, I know where we are. We're bottom of the table».
* «Our remaining home games hold no fears. We really got that monkey off our back today» (som manager i Sunderland, da klubben tapte 1-3 da alle Charltons mål kom ved selvmål).
* «I'm not some lunatic going against history. There's a precedent which plays an important part.  The 1982 Sunderland team was in the same position as us and there have been teams in the last 10 years both in the Football League and Premiership in a similar position. It's happened so why shouldn't we join that happy band?»
* «A lucky goal or the run of the ball can be triggers but they can only be triggers if you have gunpowder».
* «Kevin Phillips has gone from Golden Boot to Rubber Welly».
* «When I arrived, he (Tore Andre Flo) looked like a baby giraffe who had just popped out on to the veldt».
* «It could be said that some of Tore's performances have been long, weak and sickly».

* «I've experienced more demanding sets of supporters than turn up here» (om Sunderlands supportere).
* «We are not putting our cape over the tunnel; we are putting our cape in the tunnel».
* «If you make it a game of life or death, you'll be dead a lot».
* «Most people are on their best behaviour, come back when we've been married a year».
* «Of course I'm disappointed not to win, but a third of a bottle of milk is better than none» (etter en uavgjort kamp).
* «I can't tell you if it (relegation) means selling a washer or getting rid of a tractor!»
* «The only thing I know about Upstairs Downstairs is that it used to be a sitcom» (etter det ble snakk om at Wilkinson ble sparket oppover («move upstairs») for å bli sportsdirektør.
* «Sixty-eight games and 15 wins – it's a long time to be depressed, isn't it? If you're in hospital they give you a white coat if it's that long and send for the van».
* «At the moment we're not producing what we can do. We're Tiger Woods in the depths of a depression that's lasted about 21 months» (om Sunderlands tilstand).

* «If they hadn't scored, we would've won».
* «I am a firm believer that if you score one goal the other team have to score two to win».
