I absolutely hate the aul b***ard. To me he is the anti-Shankly. But not only was he made for Manchester and them for him, he was made for them at this exact time.
Graceless, humourless, egotistical, nasty, greedy arl b***ard, to me, he's pretty much the figure head of all what's wrong with the game and a lot of sh*te things in society in general... Phoney, champagne socialist, knight of the realm, bully b***ard, ruling by fear. He's everything I can't stand about what we've got now. That might seem mental, but, to me anyway, he's the perfect symbol of how things have gone over the last 20 years of Me, Me, Me. All hype, no reality to the image, wrapped up in hypocrisy and greed, with no concern for f**k all but himself.
But sticking to football and them and him in particular, he built that club in his own image. And I think that just proves me point. He's made no plans or strategy for when he retires or takes the knock. There's no boot room. There's been no one trained to follow in his footsteps. In fact, every one of his possible successors have been sacked or they've moved rather than stay working with the arl sh*te.
And, as I love to point out, despite all he's done for them, his own fans have never even made a song up for the fella. In fact, except for Gary Neville, I've never seen any genuine affection for the man. And as for the media kissing up to him, well, we all know what a disgrace that shower are. But they aren't as stupid as a lot of us like to think they are. Plenty of them know how vile a human being that fella truly is. They'll turn on him like a pack of Wolves when they sense the time is right.
And I don't even believe that some of them ex Manc players, that rave about him in front of a camera, don't hate the man on the sly. But like all the other greedy bas**rds, they're not going to upset the gravy boat.
