On betting and third-party ownership

On third-party ownership of players “What’s the objection?... You’re helping clubs to buy players because they can’t afford them, you’d think they’d be only too pleased”

On his players betting on their own match “They’re all looking at me, all the lads, ’cause I didn’t know they’d had a bet, ’cause they was all choked, they’d all had a spread bet and everything”

On the prospect of backing the fake Far East firm “Yeah of course, absolutely, I’d support you definitely, definitely”

On being told such bets were against rules “They weren’t betting on the other team, they were having a bet on their own team”
