I am hopeful for the Newcastle fans, for the club, for everybody that I will be able to step aside and we will be able to get an owner in that will please everybody.

Alan Shearer came in at a time when he was one of the only people on this planet who could have kept Newcastle up and he did a fantastic job in everything else but the odd result not going his way.

I'm not a clicks man, I wasn't born in the clicks era. I'm a bricks man, I believe in bricks.

People will say 'how can you have a plane when your workers are on minimum wage?' I said 'but I don't set the minimum wage.' If the minimum wage would be the living wage, then the Government who set the rules should set it at the living wage. That's how I look at it.

I don't get paid a salary, but I do like to go by private plane because it saves a lot of time and is very efficient.

What we would like to do is introduce a 'concierge click and collect' at House of Fraser. When you go online and say you want to collect goods in-store, you should be able to book a time, book a changing room and book a stylist.

I'm not sitting in my office stroking a white cat... I find it very frustrating: what benefit have I got of closing stores?

What person could keep 59 stores open - beside God? It's impossible, it can't be done.

I accept House of Fraser cannot have 500,000 square feet in Birmingham. Honestly, you would need an Uber to take you round. It's ridiculous.
