benjii Posted 5 April, 2009 Share Posted 5 April, 2009 Not trying to start an argument - just for a laugh in case anyone's missing the ruddy cheeked old bounder. On Steve Wigley: "No, but I believe that Steve Wigley - who is back, incidentally, as director of youth football - could have done it if people, the board and the supporters, had had a greater degree of belief in him." The old "blame the fans" - a classic tactic, mercilessly employed with the rapier precision of the preening matador. On Glenn Hoddle: "Everyone makes mistakes; the art is to learn from them" Rupert, the artless high priest of irony. On the grounds for employ of the gentle art of persuasion: "Harry's made it quite clear that if we remain in the Premier League, he's keen to stay. He is less keen to stay here if we don't." On stability: "Having Harry at the helm next season will add the stability that we needed so badly last year" On mixed metaphor: "Having spent ten years building it up, I have no regrets about putting my head in the lion's jaws and coming back. I just happen to be the chairman when the ship, which was holed below the waterline when I arrived, finally sank." Let's hope the lion doesn't drown. On bare-faced nonsense: "I bear no grudges" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
