Well kind of a statement of life whichever way you look at it ... I was about to make love to a woman 20 years my senior when I was in my early twenties. Last word she uttered as she led me into the bedroom was those words of confidence... "Nice Guys Finish Last".... Best advice a woman ever gave me really ...... Brilliant - Love it !!!

People say Klopp but I doubt it where/when it really counts. How about Ranieri at Leicester, won the league and was nice. Managed lots of other big clubs.

Salmonbones Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Jack Charlton. He was about as honest as you could get from what I can tell - now this is before my time as a fan of course (of course!) He was brutal with his words from what I can tell, but only brutal when it was needed. Essentially he was a nice guy, he just had the natural instinct to say things how they were. You acted like a fool he told you. You acted naively, he told you. You deserved praise, he told you. You needed a clip round the ear, he gave it. You needed an ear to listen, he gave it. That is what I have garnered about this man, I would hope to be put right by those who went to matches during his time and could tell me if I am correct or not.

sMacLean Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I think already motivated players, probably the younger ones respond well to a nice guy. Anyone who has some cash behind them and is established won't respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It it can only mean the type of career that fergie, wenher, robson etc had then we will never meet the criteria. and we know nothing of what Moore is like. He might just be a friendly guy. Doesn’t mean he can’t be nasty when needed and from my list is defo say that ranieiri was successful Successful yes but nice guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
