Lol exactly. It’s a business all about money

Go and buy Carlos Kick a Ball😂. I was praying for Sugar to slag off Modern players & agents,and Terry Venables.

🤣🤣

Fans should be on the board. Then other fans will blame them.

Somehow I don't feel "Ur fired" inspired by Alan Sugar! His simplistic,"state the obvious" explanations aren't very informative at all.. When he took over at Spurs,he made all of these promises to "Clean House" after Terry Venables was Coach and Spurs had lost a load of cash, bit it didn't take long before he was spouting a litany of excuses why he couldn't this or that! so I don't know about you,but this interview didn't change my mind at all about him and how he views Football and his condescending view towards ur typical fan! Many fans and certainly the "Season ticket" holders have good Jobs,work in all manner of fields and are not the clueless idiots preoccupied with leaking "roofs"he seems to think!.But the likes of him couldn't give a f##k about the people who purchase the Tickets& merchandise!

What is good honest football fans? Football fans are diverse from the pope to the genocidal maniac they all have teams they support, from the racist to the activist. The notion that fans are vehemently the good guys or know what is right is pure fallacy, it's just feeding in too the mobs.

@@Akinwalesegun The average fan is honourable in that they want their club to be run well and don't want to bleed it for cash. Yes, some fans are hooligans. Not really central to my point at all. Just read "football fans" if you prefer.

Ain't they all he went down like a led balloon when he turned up at Tottenham didn't know anything about football he still doesn't and he never will

They'll always be fans. I doubt if there's many clubs in the premier that ain't got a waiting list for season tickets

We are nothing without football

The the great deception sir...

I would find that funnier if you dropped the title

@@Magicalfluidprocess Agreed 👍

He makes me laugh like Sid James also

He hates that 🤣

lmao... im sure weve come across many of those sid james types in our lives 😂🤣

I bet you none of these clubs will reduce gate prices

Unless you have the riches needed to be on the board the only voice you deserve is on the terrace. Why do fans think they run football clubs ? It's the fans demands for better players and wins that have put us in this horrendous situation with players wages. Fans dont care about anything but winning no matter what they say

​@Deli Dan I'd rather my club Arsenal have the 50 plus rule than have Kroenke own the club. Fans don't scream for owners to spend money or sack managers every day. They may say we are lacking a striker or defender or the manager can't take us any further. You will never see Fans outside owners office saying it's about time you spent 100 million to get into the Champions League. Fans only want the club to run successful on and off the pitch! Fans are for life! Owners are for profit! 50 plus now!

@@joeybill9472 aftv is an example of arsenal fans every week asking for the manager to get sacked or to buy a striker (world class strikers cost 100 million nowadays)

​@@tg-lt4yn aftv aren't real Arsenal fans!

Mate Sugar is always going to back the owners he sold to. The bit that made me laugh is when he said Levy cares about the fans lol

Sugar tried to run THFC like Amstrad🤣

@@gregod806 yeah like the game kick off 2 LMAO😂😂

And Jordan seemed right at home beside him, predictably.

As always

Alan Sugar would defo of been all over the ESL, you can just tell

i expected nothing less from LS

But they do front some money in ticket fees. Don't they?

Well said

If it hadn’t been for Sugar Spurs would be in a different state now.

@@lewisgreen2957 better or worse?

By putting his own money up?? Instead of making comments he actually risked his own money in the hope of making a success of the club.

If you have enough money to buy a premier league club, you have enough money to have the deciding vote.

@@ziudra91 Lord of stinking of old man piss, talking shite and putting the booting in to the working class at any given opportunity

It doesn't really. Leipzig worked their way around it having Red Bull employees as part if their 'fan group'

Nah Bayern dominates absolute that league. 0 top End competition

No, the greatest deception the owners created is when they convinced themselves that holding the majority of the shares somehow makes them the true owners.

@@a-walgames1350 ummm..emotions aside,in the business world that's how it works pal...

@@nicholasbaldwin4897 Yes but not in the real world as we just proved with the super league!

@@a-walgames1350 orrrr....you still think it's the fans that stopped it from happening....keep your seat belt on pal..bumps approaching👍

@@nicholasbaldwin4897 It was the fact that everyone from media to fans to bloody politicians were against it, but it all started from the fan reaction.

What did he say that was wrong?

@@jewulo He said English teams couldn't compete with the big boys in Europe before the PL started.. Liverpool won 4, Forest won 2, United and Villa both won 1 each too. Alan Sugar was a terrible owner.

​@@jewulo That all fans on the board would want is new players, completely ignoring the fact of what our clubs just tried to do with the ESL, if all fans of the clubs who were joining the ESL wanted was better players they would have supported it and not fought it, he only sees things as money and having someone on the board that doesn't view everything through money is harmful to their pockets, hence his objection to it.

@@xR97x exactly, after Heysel and the five year European ban it was always going to be difficult for English clubs to immediately make a comeback

@@xR97x He also said Mourinho should go to Leyton Orient to prove that he's a world class manager. Absolute clown

It doesn't work does it,it's all about success, without it, someone looks for someone to blame

so true

Simple they will have fan reps at the board meeting s . The fans reps will leave the room and the real meeting will happen

i think sugar is a tight wad he would cry if he lost a pound

Nope...you still in it...the illusion is to make you think the club belongs to you...that's how you spend your money

Thumbs up for your name 🥳👍

@@hiv556 lol

even tho he was on a free transfer excited fans would balls it up and give him 500 thousand a game even tho he mid 30s

“At a football club, there’s a holy trinity - the players, the manager and the supporters. Directors don’t come into it. They are only there to sign the cheques.”

@Brandon Harker Touché sir

The old rock of gibraltar horse scandal! All down to Ferguson really.

Yes indeed and there was no mention of the "Bosman ruling" I'm a Spurs fan and was never impressed with his Arrogance and "I'm like u,I come from the End," brand of BS!. And he's no different to do so many "Nouveau Riche" people from that part of the world! and that is quite obvious when it translates to his views on the fans "The paying customer".. Obviously u can't have fans on the board making Executive decisions,but having them involved in some capacity to communicate what's happening with the club,their vision,etc wouldn't a be a bad thing!

dead right , if football fans bought a club and ran it i would give it 18 months before the ass falls out of the club and the club would be beyond repair

Fans on the board of the club of course won't manage the team's finances. But they represent what the fans want and their ambitions and what decisions they would agree or disagree with. They could pressure the owners to stop milking revenue from expensive ticket sales and merch. Decisions like joining ESL would have been prevented if there was a fan on the board.

@@Nothing-kz9pj i hear some of what your saying but fans all have different opinions too so unless your inviting 40,000 lads into the boardroom the fans arnt acctually representing the fans they are just representing themselves

@@raphaelnasser7084 simply make the fan representative be elected by season ticket holders. Then he or she will represent the majority of the club's fans

@@Nothing-kz9pj there is no way fans will be told any financial news because it would then become public and no club can try their usual haggling for top players, fans are unrealistic when it comes to buying players but want tickets and merchandise cheap . The players price tags/wages and agents fees and sky sports high charges is the real problem, fans are so blind that they cant see they are being whipped up by Skys puppets jamie and Gary who have made many millions in their playing career and now commentators career. They are just protecting their own wallets

give it a year so chesea and spurs have fans rep on the board , he will get a few pounds in his pocket to say whatever the clubs want and if the year is not a successful one the fans reps will take the fall for it and that idea will die for all clubs and the fans cant complain

Clubs belongs to the fans. Look how it works in Germany. Fan ownership works. Clubs here aren't franchises or business. They are a heart of a community. Bring the 50 plus rule in and safe standing and English football will be amazing again!

“At a football club, there’s a holy trinity - the players, the manager and the supporters. Directors don’t come into it. They are only there to sign the cheques.”

Just say it, you want some morning Woodsy

So why are Bayern and Barca doing it?

@@TheKh65 Historically, German teams were not-for-profit organisations run by members’ associations, and until 1998 private ownership of any kind was prohibited. The 50+1 rule, which was introduced that year, helps explain why debts and wages are under control and why ticket prices remain so low compared to other major leagues in Europe. And Barca have a very differant structure where fans vote for the chairman . We a suggesting starting from a situation where privately owned or publicly listed companies worth billions of pounds are given or sold to fans.

@@stewartl1895 ok I get what you mean.

but his takes on Mourinho were absolutely ridiculous
