    instead I’ve decided to spend the hours of 3pm to 445pm outside of Sid’s Motors in Askern.

    Sid’s a sound guy. Some private equity invested into him last year. They’re pretty smart. They’ve sold some lovely motors over the summer and made a lovely profit on them.

    They bought a 12 plate Mercedes a couple of years ago and have just sold it making a lovely profit on it. Doubled their money. Also bought an old banger 4 years ago, polished it up and sold it for three times what they paid

    Actually I guess that Sid’s motors is pretty boring

    Running a football club like a shop won’t work long term.

    Football is about escapism, not balance sheets.

    Running a football club is like making love to a beautiful woman. You have to keep the grass nicely trimmed, keep them entertained and inject her with some capital every once in a while.
