"Apart from Blackburn, no-one has been able to break
Manchester United and Arsenal's stranglehold on the
Premiership.
"I wouldn't say it's like the Scottish Premier League but
it's very difficult to break into because a lot of teams
can't compete financially.
"I thought Newcastle were in touching distance, which is one
of the reasons I joined the club. It didn't turn out that
way - we finished second in the league twice and got to two
FA Cup finals.
"But you might as well not bother if you are going to finish
second."
