Great quotes 09:15 - Apr 30 with 1055 viewsDurovigutum

I was trying to remember who said "I'd rather have the points on the board than a game in hand" and came across these quotes collections from Shankly and Paisley.
It reminds me of many from Sir Bob and the Collbolds - you couldn't say these things today, could you....

Shankly on boardroom meetings - 'At a football club, there's a holy trinity - the players, the manager and the supporters. Directors don't come into it. They are only there to sign the cheques.'

Radio Merseyside reporter to Shankly - 'Mr Shankly, why is it that your team's unbeaten run has suddenly ended?' Shanks replied: 'Why don't you go and jump in the lake?'

'I always look in the Sunday paper to see where Everton are in the league - starting, of course, from the bottom up.'

'In my time at Anfield we always said we had the best two teams on Merseyside - Liverpool and Liverpool Reserves.'

The great, unpredictable Len Shackleton regarding Chapter 9 of his autobiography entitled it "The Average Director's Knowledge of Football". This was followed by a note from the publisher: "This chapter has deliberately been left blank in accordance with the author's wishes."

Might be a little risky today if modern oligarch owners are involved.
