Read his book. Enjoyed it. He had a story to tell. He's done more with his life than most people.

well Fishy Fishy. I actually had a job and so had my wife. We were just getting pissed off with Ireland and the negative news and people so we moved to Canada. Been here two years and have no ontention of going back.

and for what it's worth I would work for nothing if I had no job. Would rather put my energy into something productive that do nothing if it came to it.

Red Menace; if there is one thing that annoys the almighty bejasus out of me its Irish people who move overseas and cant wait to tall everyone back home how **** it is here and how great it is over there......and how we are all **** and the people in the country we've moved to are so much better than us.

good for you. But this "work for nothing" business. Would you really? How would you pay your bills, mortgage, insurance, medical. Another word for it would be slave labour - although I think in slave times they actually GOT a roof over their head and fed and watered. These joe soaps wanted people to do it for nothing.

Also, two years is nothing - your still probably in "holiday" mode with the new experience. Give it ten or so and you will have the rosie tinted glasses well off (no offense)

I don't think he's the only one with a disappearing Renault dealership, when it's difficult enough to sell cars, it's stupid trying to sell cars that aren't all that popular. A Kerry/Limerick dealer (Adams of Glin) was a Renault dealer for years, and now only sells Mitsubishis and Peugeots.

I don't like him because he feels that growing up in a slum has given him an inbuilt moral superiority over everyone else. He made his money from his monopolistic control over the Renault brand in Ireland, not some kind of mystical rare oul times, coddle for breakfast, Moore St school of business. Once his monopoly was taken off him he was shown up as the chancer he really is.

If you were in his position, way back when, and you were given an opportunity to take an exclusive "monopoly" on a brand to make fcuktonnes of money, would you not take it and work as hard as he did?

There's nothing AH loves more than a successful businessman in trouble.

Agree whole-heartedly with this post. I cannot believe some of the comments on this thread. If any of you had ever taken the time to read his books you would know that he is an extremely hard worker. Everyone is entitled to their opinion of a person but to take joy in seeing a person's livelihood crumble around them is just awful.

Some of ye would want to cop on.

He's probably a lot more decent than the lot of you put together.

I think what Bill ment, was work for free, when you receive valuable experience in return, it's being happening for the last 20 years, through intermenships, and in fairness, it's not really working for free.

eg if I work for free, self thought or on a government program. I still getting my basics sorted. I also become a more valuable employee/employer, and through my valuable experience a better employee/employer.

In saying that Bill, when I meet him, for his sighing of his book, was smug indeed, but maybe he deserved to be. He ran a very successful business for years and "mein feiners" who think he deserves to be shot down for having being successful, need to talk a good and hard look at their attitude towards being Irish.

Side note (I can't believe he's 70, really??? :eek:)

Something fishy bout your begrudging attitude. I'd agree with the Canadian post and that your response just adds to his evidence. Read it back and listen to yourself. You make me laugh ............... or are you really being serious

wonder about those apprentice winners steve raynor and the other english girl who won in 2010. that lad from kildare who won in 2011, eugene was a bit shady, he said that eddie jordan was one of his referees on his CV even though he never worked for him. it made for good,cringeworth TV

im going to miss the apprentice now, maybe bill should go to RTE about getting them to show the apprentice for 2013 especially if his business is going bad.

Laminate it too, along with your passport just in case you ever decide to come back here.....

Anyhow, you can be successful without being a condescending Gobsh1te, who says we have to love him because he was a successful Gobsh1te?

- Renault can go fcuk off too, with their hopeless, miserable, horrible, sellotaped togther, electrically obtuse cars......

Big whoopdeefrickindoo,he pays his taxes! So do the vast majority of the rest of us but we aren't preaching to skilled workers who are trying to make a life for themselves to go and work for free -that guy seriously needs to get down off himself!

EDIT: And it's less to do with begrudging success and more about not accepting his self-righteous muppetry

King of Kings

Bill Cullen would have my sympathy if he wasn't a moralising cock.
I'll admit some of that could be bluster for the apprentice show but his appearance on tv claiming young people were lazy and should get up at dawn to lick the streets clean for no money until they found a job was laughable.
If memory serves he did go on a rant saying "in my day it was better" style rant. well **** off.


No doubt he'd love a few interns to work for their dole for his companies.
What a cock.

there are plenty of successful business men and rich people in ireland who have my respect because:

1. They don't moralise
2. They're not media whores.

They get on with business...I believe most irish people think like this and the begrudgery is actually rare enough
