 * I thought the runway was longer than that! (When Lord Sugar overshot the runway at Manchester City airfield)


 * Fair? The only fair you're gonna get is your bloody train fare!


 * I don't think too many people would want my job. I'm a bit of a nutter.


 * I just don't know whether you're some sort of bloody nutter.


 * I've got a gut feeling in my stomach.


 * I've written books on advertising... cheque books.


 * Once you decide to work for yourself, you never go back to work for somebody else.


 * Never ever try to under-estimate me because you will be making a fatal, fatal error. I don't like liars, I don't like cheats. I don't like bullshitters, I don't like schmoozers, I don't like arse-lickers.


 * The money coming into the game [football] is incredible. But it is just the prune-juice effect – it comes in and goes out straight away. Agents run the game.

 * You're a lightweight, you're fired!


 * Quite frankly, I'd like to get rid of the bleeding three of you!


 * This is not a game, this is a 12 week job interview. It's a dog eat dog situation.


 * There is no phone-in here, there is no text a number, there is no panel of judges. I'm the one who decides who gets fired, and I'm the one that ultimately decides who gets hired.


 * I am the most belligerent person that you could come across.


 * You're hired!


 * When you lose, there won't be some busty blonde outside, for you to sob into her bosom.


 * If they were a company, the shareholders could sue them for incompetent mismanagement. In commercial terms, it's like watching your mother-in-law drive your new Ferrari over the cliff.


 * If ever there was a time for me to leap across the boardroom table and whack someone on the conk, it would have been then. – On Kevin Shaw's final boardroom
