Despite significant challenges within the retail sector in the UK and beyond, which have resulted in many retailers failing, Sports Direct has continued to perform well and exceed market expectations.
I like to get drunk, I'm a power drinker.
The school I went to was only famous for one thing... Peter Osgood went to that particular school. That's probably my earliest memory of the importance of football.
I was a little bit shocked at quite how football was more like the wild west.
It is very boring and lonely in Shirebrook. You know what we do after work? We go to the pub after work.
It is blatantly apparent that true entrepreneurs will never be accepted in the public arena.
Criticism is a funny thing, because I think if you want to be something, create something or make a difference in any walk of life you have to be hugely self-critical.
Do I regret getting into football? The answer is yes. I have had tonnes of fun in it but I haven't been able to make the difference I wanted to like I have at Sports Direct.
On a scale out of five, with one being very bad and five being very good, House of Fraser is a one.
We think the biggest and most important thing House of Fraser is missing is luxury brands.
The media circus surrounding Sports Direct... only proves that whatever progress Sports Direct makes, it will always be subject to disproportionate scrutiny and misrepresentation.
Corbyn is not only a liar but clueless.
It's one of the amazing things about owning a football club, the way you get caught up. It's like someone has put something in your coffee. You look around, you want to lift the place, hit the ground running.
Kevin Keegan is an outstanding individual and also did his best. It wasn't always easy for Kevin at the football club. We didn't have the structure around that we should have had to support him. I will take responsibility for that.
In Harrods you get some exceptional services.
I'm not the thickest person on the planet.
The over-riding reality is that I am just not wealthy enough to own Newcastle.
I don't care what people say, it's very difficult to keep a player when they want to go. The age of slavery is dead.
I am wedded to Newcastle like Sports Direct. They've got me and I've got them. That's just the way it is.
I wanted to help Newcastle, I wanted to make it better. I do not seem to have had that effect.
