Former Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood admits working in the Premier League is a 24/7 job.
He wrote in the Independent: "As a manager you need some time when you can be alone with your thoughts and try to solve the problems you are facing. I would run on the treadmill in the gym at the training ground and that was my time when I relaxed and turned things over. A lot of managers told me that they did that in the drive into the training ground. For some of them it was a four-hour round journey but it was there that they got all their thinking done and made their phone calls.
"You have to be in regular contact with the chairman, and there are always agents on offering players. At Spurs I made sure that I was watching a lot of under-16s, youth teams and under-21s. I would try to get to other games in the Premier League if I could. Or I would watch a game on a DVD. It was non-stop. But I loved it.
"When you are that worn out at the end of the day there is no problem going to sleep. The problem comes if you wake up, because there is so much on your mind you can't drop off again. It's always the case that the manager cares more than the players. It has always been that way."
