I would take Benitez, Big Sam, I’d even take Alan ****ing Pardew at the moment. This bloke has got me raging
He already did though. As already mentioned - the constant "with all due respect" - which funnily enough it sounds like he has ditched today unless it has been snipped from the quotes. Actually bothering to comment about the criticism that non-league manager had of him the other week (rather than just ignoring it)
I don't disagree that he is very very insecure. Most of his interviews confirm that. But what has his height got to do with it ?
You've hit the nail on the head. I used to work with someone who got promoted by the fact that they were the only one left in the team (they were database admins), then they employed a team to work under him. He was so inept, but bullied everyone and it was never his fault. He was only saved by having 2 good DBAs under him who carried him through until he could find another job.
If any football knowledge board are listening to this, he wouldn’t be getting on the coach after this.
He literally set his stall out in his first press conference to say he was tactically flexible and likes to play different systems. Then he said systems don't matter. Now he is saying he has gone away from his system and that's why the team is underperforming. Which is it?
Anyway what we all drinking tonight. Myself have gone for a 2 x 4 pack of pint size stella at a very reasonable 6.49p.
I'm actually really pleased that he's turned on us fans. I'm not angry at all. Because when you turn on the fans, that's the end for you. You don't come back from that. Just a matter of when he leaves now. Hopefully in the next 24 hours. And absolutely before next weekend.
Surely his position is untenable now?! Christ the life. I really wanted him to work, but he has to go.
That doesn't answer the question. I am aware of the phenomenon. But not why it applies here. Sure he is insecure. And is short. But there isn't really evidence of a link. I don't think you can say that all insecure short men have "short man syndrome". And I what do men who are taller who behave the same get? A pass on that? Seems a bit like confirmation bias in this case He appears bitter that his first chance at stepping up was such a failure. I'm not sure where his height comes into that
