I have no regrets about buying Fulham. Absolutely not. This is a perfect club for what we wanted to do. It's absolutely historic, small, and has just the perfect fan base.
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 checks.
I believe almost any sports fan would purchase a club, if they had the means.
One of the main rules with my mom was if I broke a club, she was going to take it and I wouldn't get it back. So I made sure I kept all my clubs.
Just because a club says a player is not for sale, it doesn't necessarily mean that.
The first intimation I had that the Yankees were for sale was through an item to that effect in the newspapers. The idea instantly occurred to me that here was a prospect to become interested in a major-league club at home.
The ideal time to take over a club is always in the summer, but I'd certainly rather take over with four games having gone than 10, 14, 20 played.
Manchester United and Liverpool have been bought with huge leverage, and we've got Roman Abramovich at Chelsea who can turn his loans into shares. It is really important for the Premier League to ask itself: if a club is being bought on such a mountain of debt, isn't that a possible recipe for disaster for the future?
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.
There are lots of concerns facing English football but for me the major one is the way in which football clubs are run by owners, whether they are growing organically and sustainably and how that is being policed by the football authorities.
I want to be clear: I do not view myself so much as the owner of Fulham but a custodian of the club on behalf of its fans.
When I have signed for clubs, I have always spoken a long time with the CEO or with the owners, not only at United, but also at Bayern Munich and Barcelona, and I have the faith that they always support me.
I'm the football manager of Newcastle, which is owned by Mike Ashley.
I knew that Chelsea was a club that changed its manager reasonably often.
I played for Sampdoria and stayed there 15 years. Of course, I could have gone to Juventus, to AC Milan, to Inter Milan many times, but I preferred to remain because Sampdoria were my family, from the owners to the players.
I think there's a lot of things that need fixing at Manchester United apart from David Moyes, but in this business, you also realize the head coach is always going to be the first to go, unfortunately.
It is my dream to have a controlling stake of Arsenal.
As players, you can't decide who manages the club.
There was a lot of criticism in Boston that we weren't going to spend money on the Red Sox after we did the Liverpool transaction. Then there was the fear we wouldn't spend in Liverpool. Hopefully the fans of both clubs will eventually see what we see clearly - that there is nothing to fear from the existence of the other club.
I was 14, and I played this club that's no longer there because it was poorly managed: the Texas Tea House in Fort Worth.
Sometimes it looks like the board and the chairman are the worst enemy of the manager and the coaching staff, the football versus the financial side.
I hear a lot of rumours about me selling the club or leaving, absolutely no way.
I have done well out of TV, but not well enough to buy football clubs. I'm not sure it's ever a way to make money.
I love Liverpool FC. My dad used to take me to games because he was a shareholder at Everton. When I came down to London, I realised that Liverpool FC was my team.
Fans don't like owners. They know they are somewhere - actually, in Germany, some owners are anonymous. Fans don't sympathize with owners, so ownership stays in the back.
