  11. The great manipulator. McLaren...And when he saw the Sex Pistols he thought, well, we can do this. And I said 'Look, all I'm doing, Jamie, is I think they should compete with the Bay City Rollers.' And Jamie said 'Don't be f*cking mad!' And I said 'That's what I think, we're just going to make a look. They're younger than the Bay City Rollers, I think they're better looking, I think they're going to look great in these clothes.' And he said 'Malcolm, we can do something much, much bigger.' And I was always acting on my gut, I was always looking for something... I thought 'big' was competing with the Bay City Rollers and winning. When I realised competing with the Bay City Rollers was just irrelevant, because what we were doing seemed to just take it over and beyond and change, it was happening. But at the beginning I didn't quite see how. It was only by being with Jamie and others I suddenly realised, okay, we can go in this record company and we can turn it over, we really can. There was no question. We had no fear! After about three months we were totally manipulative. We strategised, we were manipulative, and dare I say it, we were very manipulative with the band. We couldn't say everything. Because when we started, some of the boys were thieves, and some of the boys were just good boys, kind of like in rock and roll bands, good boys trying to be bad boys. Rotten was really a good boy trying to act like a bad boy. Which made him, perhaps, more hysterical, and I mean that in the most profound sense, made him more passionate in his delivery. The other guys... they didn't have to prove a lot. They all really were street thieves. So they were just up there trying to get away with it. They didn't have to do much more than just try to get away with it. But Rotten had to prove that he had done it, and was getting away with it. And that was a different thing. And we could never confront him on it, we let him just travel on. We kept quiet. And it was probably half the reason for their success and half the reason for their ultimate demise. Because once Rotten had realised that we had allowed him to think that we believed that he was a member of the Hell's Angels, when we truly knew he wasn't, but we listened as he drove us all insane to prove he knew the biggest rogues in East London, once he knew that we listened but we weren't really... it was the beginning of the end. And that really was really after keeping our mouth shut and really trying hard over a year, it doesn't seem a long time but it was a long time then, and after that it was not plain sailing. We were never going to be able to do what we... We couldn't manipulate. We'd manipulated EMI, we'd manipulated A&M brilliantly, it was easy, it was game, set and match within two weeks. Me and Jamie, that was just the easiest thing. Virgin was very tough, and we pushed and pushed and we basically got caught between the group and the record company. We couldn't fight both sides. It was the old story, we stretched ourselves too thin. http://imomus.com/mclarencomplete.html From:

  14. Well, William Hill did report some pretty good numbers today, so maybe this sector is coming back into fashion with the market? Shares are up about 5.5% today while the main market is down. Interesting to see how the bookmakers respond to any tightening in spending this year. ADVFN Market report.
