We have never seen a sport as a business, and we have this great passion for football. QPR are not a trophy asset. If we had wanted a trophy asset, there were more glamorous clubs we could have bought.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The FA Cup is important to everyone at the club. We have a great record in it and we want to win a trophy.
The source of wealth is from individuals with little or no history of interest in the game, who have happened upon football as a means of serving some hidden agenda.
With United, we'd all grown up together, we all wanted to win the biggest trophy in football. We did it togther.
Football spectators appreciate a bit of loyalty, and we're seeing that less and less. There are echelons of football, as in society, where some players are clearly mercenaries. I regret in a way that somehow the local identification, the local bonding between the community and its football team has been commercialised to such an extent.
Even though professional soccer has become more about business and less about the game itself, I still believe football is a party for the legs that play it and for the eyes that watch it.
What is the point of competing for a trophy if everyone gets a trophy?
Business is a team sport.
Professional sports is a business.
For Manchest United, every cup is very important. A trophy is a trophy.
This club is all about winning trophies and we've got a chance of bringing the greatest trophy of them all back to Anfield, so it means a great deal obviously.
