The professor has 92,044 followers on Twitter, who probably follow him for his business brain but also for his self deprecating sense of humour.

He is an advisor to Lord Alan Sugar, following candidates’ progress and interviewing them on the television show. He is also the former Chairman of Viglen, Powerleague and ASCO, and former Chief Executive of Tottenham Hotspur.

In between all of that, he may have found some time for a trip to Guernsey recently – possibly for business, and for some leisure time too – as he enthused publicly about the island.

He was responding to a query on Twitter about where to visit – Jersey or Guernsey – when he told his followers that “Guernsey is beautiful!”

But there may be bias beneath the British-American businessman’s words. He also recently revealed that his wife is from Guernsey, so he may have paid a few visits to the island over the years.
