Well maybe it was being self-employed for twenty-five years, with no holiday pay, no sick pay, constantly chasing clients for money in time to pay my bills, remortgaging my house and having my pension fund denuded by Gordon Brown, which has made me look with overly rose-tinted spectacles at the pressure of Premier League management. Pressure, in my book, is not knowing if you can pay a bill or keep your house. I'd take the abuse of a few thousand football fans in exchange for never having to worry about the really important things in life.

Pressure, in my book, is not knowing if you can pay a bill or keep your house. I'd take the abuse of a few thousand football fans in exchange for never having to worry about the really important things in life ever again.

I notice how many times these poor, pressured managers return to lucrative posts despite the intolerable conditions they work under- maybe it's the multi-million pound handshakes they receive when they leave....as they know they will, inevitably.
One of England's greatest ever managers (well, the greatest) put it into perspective, when he took his "pressured" team to the local coalmine in order to show them men under real pressure.

Sounds like you should have given it up and driven a bus mate <ok>
 
At some point I might have to wake-up to the ever increasing liklihood that Swansea aren't going to get their act together this season.
