Of course it was. The talk was about his ego and how Rodger's could potentially be the manager to calm him down and deal with his temperament better than previous managers. He may not have said the word "better managing players ego's" but that is what the talk was about and it was meant in that way.
Amazing how you can gain that from this sentence;
And that Rodgers is a better manager than anyone he's previously played for

In any case it's still absolute beans ffs, you're talking about a man who used the envelope trick he knicked off Ferguson, but forgot the element of context.
A better all round motivator and man manager than 2 men who've won a truck load of honours? Do me a favour
