Alan Sugar is the Godfather of business
With his no-nonsense attitude on The Apprentice Sir Alan Sugar is clearly not a man to be messed with.It is for this reason artist Lee Jones has portrayed Sir Alan as The Godfather of British business in his latest painting.
Based on the iconic film poster for Francis Ford Coppola’s 1972 masterpiece 'The Godfather' his work replaces supreme mafia boss, Marlon Brando with the Amstrad boss.
"I’m a massive fan of the apprentice, and like the fact that Sir Alan is trying to help British business leaders get out of the recession," said Jones, who is based in Liverpool.
As far as we know Sir Alan is happy just telling unsuccessful contestants they are fired ... we don't think Majid Nagra woke up this morning with a horses head in his bed.
"The picture is how I see the apprentice, they are all his puppets, he has total control of there futures," Jones added."He is someone with the power to make the winner of The Apprentice an offer they can't refuse in the form of a lucrative, six-figure salaried contract - a highly desirable prize in this cash-strapped economy."
In the acrylic on canvas image "I am going to make them an offer they can’t refuse" Sugar is shown menacingly stroking a cat while an invisible puppeteer dangles three business-suited apprentices helplessly in the air.
Asked what he thought Sir Alan would make of the image Apprentice fan Jones said: "I hope he would understand that UK people do see him as the godfather of British business with immense power.
