Kopparberg Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I think he probably is… but I’m not sure what difference it makes… or why it continues to get mentioned so much, prior to what we thought of the football on display etc. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacré bleu Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Can you name a "nice guy" who is or has been a successful football manager? I'm struggling to think of one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 In modern football and modern sport think you have to be 'seen' as a decent person. Public image and PR is not as important as results but it's not far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it doesn't affect our assessment of the football served up currently, but its a good thing in itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure Alex Ferguson is a decent person as well but had the image of the 'hairdryer' during his early days at Man U that probably wouldn't be tolerated in modern football. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Nice guys finish last (or midtable). Players imo take the pi$$ out of managers that are to nice, like ours do. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
