Q] Will your players be wearing 'Kick it Out' t-shirts at Fulham?

A] Absolutely, yes. I don't see any issue with that at all. The lads will go and do it. Contrary to some reports saying they weren't going to do it, that is totally misinformed and I'm not happy with that. But the lads won't have a problem with it. As far as I'm concerned, the lads will back it, and quite rightly so.

Q] What are your views?

A] There is no place for racism, none whatsoever but in any walk of life. It's disgusting really that it keeps going on. You keep hearing the same argument that FIFA and UEFA need to do something. You've got to do something now. There is no point in talking about it. It is a real valid point that you should bring your players off. It can affect individuals. It is wrong and disgusting really.

Q] What are your views on Christian Benteke scoring for Belgium against Scotland?

A] He's dropped! I saw his goals against Serbia and Scotland. Christian is playing in a right top Belgium side and more than holding his own. For someone who is only 21 and the way he is performing and what he will do for this club will be terrific. I thought that when we signed him, this kid can be a right top player.

Q] What are your views on Fulham?

A] They are a good side and I thought that last season. They've added really well as well. Even at home they are a tough side to beat. We should've got something at Tottenham and if Christian scores with his header it's a different game. But we played well there and will go with a lot of confidence to Fulham to try and win.

Q] Do you like Craven Cottage?

A] It's a good atmosphere. I went there last year and there is always a good atmosphere there.

Q] What are your views on the new complex for England at St George's Park?

A] It's a great venue. I don't think you will see the fruition of it for a decade or so but at least it's a start. In the long term, it will be a great thing. It's probably overdue, you would say now, but it's here now so you may as well look forward to it.

Q] What are your views on Christian Benteke and Darren Bent?

A] I don't think you can compare them. They are two totally different players. Christian is a big, strong lad who gets hold of the ball for you. Darren is different. He can get in behind. Christian is a goalscorer too as his record with Genk and Belgium suggests. They are two totally different players. Darren is a scorer, absolutely. Everyone knows when you put the ball in the box, he can finish. That's why Darren has had the career he's had.

Q] How can you keep Darren Bent happy?

A] I have never had a problem. I have a laugh and joke with him in the week like I do with every other player. There's never been a problem. I understand players get frustrated when they are left out, I understand that. I'd be more worried if they weren't frustrated at being left out. I don't have a problem.He's not come knocking on my door. I was having a joke with him the other day.

Q] There have been rumours you haven't been on speaking terms with him?

A] No. I don't worry because I know it's not true.

Q] How good can Christian Benteke be?

A] I think he can be huge, anything he wants to be. As his career progresses I think he can be a top, top striker. He is a handful and he's only 21! He'll make mistakes. I said that when I signed him because he doesn't know everything about the game. But as time goes on and experience improves, he will be an absolute handful during his career. He's come in and done great.

Q] Is he the biggest transfer you've ever paid?

A] Yes. And it still makes me uneasy.
