a.. On the Football Association's disciplinary procedures: "At first they were a shambles. Now they have descended via farce to make them a laughing stock.

On being ousted from the board of Wembley National Stadium Limited: "Even Jesus Christ only had one Pontius Pilate - I had a whole team of them." a.. "Take Ruud Gullit. I didn't like his arrogance.
