I'm an Englishman. What more can I say?
I'm a commercial person, not an academic.
I don't like paying 50 per cent of tax.
My history of lending money from banks is that they want to know the ins and outs of the backside of a duck.
There was a desire to see me being nasty and horrible, and of course that's not really me
My idea of government support was, you supply me with hospitals, schools and the environment to do well and that will do me fine. But do not poke your nose in my business.
I have no patience at all.
I like things in their proper places.
There is a lot of luck in football. Following England is like following Wycombe Wanders or Leyton Orient. You hope for the best and hope you are lucky.
There's a lot of regrets about last year - maybe turning up was the biggest regret about it
I've written books on advertising-cheque books.
I knоw you're Belgian, that's whеrе thоsе waffles соmе frоm
The entrepreneurial instinct is in you. You can't learn it, you can't buy it, you can't put it in a bottle. It's just there and it comes out.
I have principles and I am not going to be forced to compromise them.
