The things some people say II

Another batch of 'the things some people say'. This time the common theme is managers - hopefully it won't put Gilly off!!

"His conduct in relation to the four companies has been such as to make him unfit to be concerned in any way with the management of a company."
Elizabeth Gloster QC for the DTI in 1998, talking about current Leeds manager Terry Venables!

"You can call yourself a success as a manager when you can ring Alex Ferguson and say 'I want to buy your best'"
Jim Smith, Derby, 1997

"My brother always said you'd have to be mad to be a manager. What other job is there where your livelihood depends on 11 daft lads."
Francis Lee, Manchester City, 1998

"The pressures been so great that I've stopped having sex"
Ray Graydon, Walsall, 1999

"First thing I'd do if I became a manager is buy a bottle of Grecian 2000!"
Chris Waddle, 1997

"I went by mutual consent but I'll tell you what there was a big hand print on my back"
Stuart Hall, Halesowen Town, 1998

"I'm convinced that a big name manager will top himself soon."
Professor Tom Cannon, Stress Counselor, 1997

"I don't know how old I was at the start of the game but I'm 93 now. It was like spending 120 years in Alcatraz."
Martin O'Neill displaying some impressive maths skills in 1997

"The easiest team for a manager to pick is the hindsight XI"
Craig Brown, 1998

"Delighted with the win, horrified that my assistant is down at the Police Station"
Steve Bruce, then at Sheffield United, after the arrest of his Assistant, ex-Wroxham player John Deehan, for his touchline histrionics, 1998

"In my career I never stamped on anyone, kicked them, punched or insured them, but now I have a fierce reputation for stepping outside my little dug-out box by a yard. I'm setting such a terrible example to the kids."
Gordon Strachan, 1999

"We think by us pulling away that might galvanise the club to sort of make a challenge for the title and we hope and pray that they carry on and do it."
Marty Hubble, speaking on Radio Norfolk after resigning as Wroxham manager, 2003.
