Alan "Childish" Sugar on Twitter

[AW?]

He was. Sugar don't like AVB.

To be honest I meant more the Wenger comment.

To be honest I meant more the Wenger comment.

The Wenger quote is a) a lie and b) if he really thought so, he shoulda hired him the fuck ages ago, the slow loser.

Wish he could be more articulate when he posts. He may be partly right but this is not the way for a Sir, so childish and silly and what not...

I cannot help but laugh at the irony that whilst Dein appointed Wenger with all the resultant success, Sugar appointed Gross. I am not forgetting Sugar stepped and saved the club from bankruptcy but so many of his managerial appointments were reactive and without any obvious air of long term planning in my opinion so his comments are a bit rich.

Ahem!

No, he didn't!

No? I thought we were quite far into the red when he bought the club from Scholar if memory serves?

Of course, I'll check back and read it.

Sugar is fucking retard.

 

[arnoldlayne]

Not sure that you read my post properly.

As I clearly said, the club didn't need saving. Terms had already been renegotiated with the Midland Bank before Sugar took over.

Totally agree. His intention was to have a vehicle to sell satellite dishes to Sky - being Spurs CEO gave him some credibility.

I will never forgive him for attempting to turn our club into Wimbledon with fans. He alienaed many ex-players & also reduced our stadium capacity significantly, for the sake of boxes - at a time when several other large clubs were looking to increase capacity.

He should be "shot" just for letting Francis buy Armstrong (OK but average) but not Bergkamp

We could have had a new west stand and 8k more seats 20 years ago..."

The mans ego got in the way. Levy or lewis should tell him to shut it in public.

Twatter is not the platform for interesting, articulate posts. You've got two lines or maybe three. It's better just to get to the bottom line.

How is Sir supposed to behave? One of the things that I like about Sugar, is that he just strikes me as a down to earth guy, who hasn't forgotten where he came from.

He's only saying what a lot of people here think, so what's the difference?

I've just read it. I should have had a read through the thread first. You made some interesting points. The twitter post irritated me because I feel like we missed the opportunity to really progress as a club back in the 90s and whilst Levy's tenure has not been without mistakes, he seems to have a vision that one never felt was t

I follow Sugar purely because of his war with Piers Morgan and the grief he dishes out.

Have to admit though, some of Sugars anti-AVB/Spurs diatribe has had me responding, to my shame.

Best put down yesterday after he posted the OP tweet was from "Bankrupt" who tweeted back something along the lines of "for someone who seems to know about good managers, maybe you should have thought about appointing one or two during your tenure".

 

[M.I.B.]

Actually, is Sugar still on the board?

And what % stake does he still hold?


Methinks someone needs to tell him to shut-it.

I don't think he is, but why should he shut it? He is entitled to his view?

He's not on the board. Mullers is right, of course he does have the right to his opinion but it's pity that he missed whatever Arsenal saw in Wenger otherwise who knows where we would be now.

 

[SpursManChris]

He is a tosser, I amazed he was our owner tbh

He knows fuck all about football

I still couldn't place him in the same basket as Blackburn's Indian chicken men, City's former Prime Minister of Thailand or their current Dubai businessmen.

The shut it view was based on him being still on the board. Not good conduct.

If he no longer is, then he can say what he wants. As can I in response.
