The pressure on managers today is so large, that most can not abstract from it and will instead, try and cut their losses. Lets face it, it's the charge of the light brigade. Even for a guy like Villa Boas, managing Tottenham. So some men, who have a strain of psychopatism in them. Who don't care for others really. Or who rather, don't love. They are the only ones to keep their heads cool. The only ones who aren't letting the media get to them. Those we love, they show no fear, they wan't to win and as any Dracula ever told you. They want to look good while doing so. And so we have, that the managers we love who actually have the balls to say; this way. Are also people who do not easilly fit in. They are almost pshychopaths in their way of thinking. Their strength, is also their weakness.
From a psychoanalytical standpoint that is a reasonable argument; but, unless qualified, I'd draw back from the 'psychopath' diagnosis (some managers aren't that well balanced!).
Well isn't he? And isn't Mourinho too? And Ferguson? **** the namecalling, socio- psycho that's not what I mean. But to a degree, this is part of who they are. They may have not crossed any clinical line. But they don't care much of what we think, and it's why they can carry the pressure and still demand the football they wan't, high risc and all that. My point is, their strength is also their weakness. Laudrup don't love. I doubt he ever did. Cry me a river baby.
