My favourite is from Otto Rehhagel-
"There are no right or wrong, or fair results. There's just the final score."

😆 @ Bill Nicholson.

I loved this Holloway one when he said it

'If you're a burglar, it's no good poncing about outside somebody's house, looking good with your swag bag ready. Just get in there, burgle them and come out. I don't advocate that obviously, it's just an analogy.'

The bolded text should be a standard disclaimer for some posters 🙂

😆 That got the highest rating.

Arsene Wenger

"Nobody has enough talent to live on talent alone. Even when you have talent, a life without work goes nowhere.

"Any man who concentrates his energies totally on one passion is, by definition, someone who hurts the people close to him."

I am Arsenal Till I Die

"A football team is like a beautiful woman. When you do not tell her, she forgets she is beautiful." - Arsene Wenger.

This one has to be in there somewhere.

SIR MATT BUSBY

"Winning isn't everything. There should be no conceit in victory and no despair in defeat."

Vince Lombardi:

"If winning isn't everything, then why keep score?"

Coombs

😆

Rex

Hmm. Sounds vaguely familiar...

Mirth

"Everyone thinks they have the prettiest wife at home" - AW

Loved it, given the context and how angry it made Ferguson at the time.

I never thought I'd see Sam Allardyce shortlisted for something like this. 😆

GORDON STRACHAN
“If a Frenchman goes on about seagulls, trawlers and sardines, he’s called a philosopher. I’d just be called a short Scottish bum talking c***.”

😆

Strachan is hilarious, my favourite quote from him was when a reporter asked for a quick word Gordon replied- Velocity! and walked off. 😆

I'd never seen this thread before, but that Holloway quote is fucking gold!

Brendan could fill this thread with dozens and dozens of gems, if he wants!

Klaus

"I think there’s three players who will let us down this year — the cause, the fight, everything – and I have written them down already in these three envelopes. Make sure you are not in one of the envelopes.”
