I'm not scared to spend money. If you go out with me one night, you will understand that.
You weren’t world-class when Arsenal signed you.
When I arrive at the gates of Heaven the Good Lord will ask ‘what did you do in your life?’ I will respond ‘I tried to win football matches.’ He will say: ‘Are you certain that’s all?’ But, well, that’s the story of my life.
A football team is a like a beautiful woman, when you do not tell her, she forgets she is beautiful
My target is to make the players as rich as possible within the financial constraints of the club. My target is not to give them less money. I'm happy to make them rich.
If you have the money and you find the one player who can make you win and make the difference, no matter how expensive he is, you should do it. But there are not many players in the world who will make a real difference.
As a club, we have an educational purpose: to give back to those people who love Arsenal so that they learn moral values from our game and how we behave.
We didn't think he would play on Sunday because he was suspended - that makes me think he has all the qualities to join Arsenal!
I also think we live in a competitive world, and I love competition.
In England you have a good phrase. It is 'to bring the game into disrepute.
If you do not believe you can do it then you have no chance at all.
I think we live in a very competitive world, and I love competition.
I think in England you eat too much sugar and meat and not enough vegetables.
Ferguson's out of order. He has lost all sense of reality. He is going out looking for a confrontation, then asking the person he is confronting to apologise. He's pushed the cork in a bit far this time.
