Wealth & Money Quote by Bryan Ferry

Bryan Ferry’s “I suppose” does a lot of work: it’s the sigh of someone watching glamour get mistaken for meaning. He’s not attacking football so much as the showroom fantasy built around it. The sentence keeps swerving - “football… soccer” - as if he’s translating not just for an audience, but for an era. That little correction signals distance: Ferry’s old-world, arts-and-style sensibility rubbing up against a globalized, hyper-commercial sport whose language has been franchised along with its stars.

The quote is basically a mood board of modern aspiration: big money, good looks, big house, huge Ferrari. Ferry’s list is blunt on purpose. It’s not “craft,” “team,” “discipline,” or even “winning.” It’s consumption, scaled up until it becomes cartoonish. “Great big” and “huge” aren’t just descriptors; they’re a wink at how adolescent the dream is, like a child drawing the best possible life with the thickest marker.

Coming from Ferry - a musician synonymous with cultivated cool, expensive aesthetics, and a certain kind of curated persona - the subtext is deliciously self-aware. He helped build the machinery of glamour in pop culture, then turns around to note how the next generation points that machinery at athletes instead of rock stars. The intent feels less like moralizing and more like diagnosing: celebrity has migrated, and the fantasy has gotten simpler, louder, and more literal.
