'On This Day 1986: Alan Sugar Expands His Tech Empire'
The entrepreneur behind the Amstrad computer brand bought Sinclair Research from his arch-rival Sir Clive Sinclair for £5m.
Alan Sugar's rags to riches rise continued as he took over and ran Tottenham Hotspur FC from 1991-2000 and later sold Amstrad for £125m.
Now, Lord Sugar is best known for his role on the BBC show The Apprentice, which he has fronted since 2005.

The man with a flair for business. You’ve got it or you haven’t ! Sir Alan Sugar built his successful empire from hard work, opportunity and great marketing strategy.

By profiting from others. Selfish and harmful to others approach. Nothing to brag about.

Selling shoddy goods that look the part. The man was a crook and the government and royals let him rip the country off.

Sir Alan would've mad a good Wolverine actor when he was younger! Sir Clive Sinclair would've made a good Professor X in his C5. 👍

My nan had one of his hi fi cabinets in the mid 80s and it was still working 15 years later. I had two of Amstrad's Sky boxes, one analogue, one digital. They also both worked fine too.

He was lucky enough to be found by an excellent team with exactly the right skills and computer nerd empathy.

Interestingly Alan knew about Sinclair's issues via Dixons before anyone else and actually had a new Sinclair computer ready to go and Dixons ready to buy it before he'd even brought Sinclair.

A Criminal. A Liar and a cheat. He is representative.

Nearly fifty years later and I still find it hard to forgive Alan Sugar or Sir Clive for letting it come to this. Sugar didn’t give a toss about the computers, he was in it for the money. A great product line was destroyed. To this day I can’t look at a CPC and see think of anything except Sir Alan’s patronising comments about not giving a toss about the computers and leaving it to the boffins. Hated his self-important schtick. Clive was that boffin. His creations were marvellous. Unlike Alan’s cheap tat. I don’t forgive him for my TS hifi either. Cheap rubbish disguised and sold as quality.
