He applied for the big job and eh voila he got it.
I think it was John Henry who said the TPM "did a good interview".
More like
"if you cant dazzle them with brilliance then baffle them with bullshit"
Boat and rock he was not going to do.
He was no Rafa who actually stood up to HandG... and said he that he got a lampshade.
We seem for years to have been naive to business dealing with Owen / Madrid ....... MacManaman running down his contract and expecting Sanchez to come without anything signed.
History repeats.
The captain issue was a case of who else was there ?
Suarez has just finished La Liga with 41 goals.
8 hat tricks.
Dont anyone tell me it was the TPM who "nearly got us the title".
Palace and Chelsea exposed the managerial sham.
With 50 goals conceded from an at times a non existent defence to get even close was a miracle.
That miracle was called Luis.
Skip I know Brendan is not on your Xmas card list I think most of us get that, for me he did what he could within the limitations he had to work under. Having said that tho, he certainly didn't help himself by cow towing to the owners and his bullshittiness, I don't think he's a bad manager, he just wasn't good enough for us, in our nearly season under him we played some of the best football we had seen for many a year,
Luis could not have done what he did on his own, he like all his teammates followed a plan, a plan set up by Brendan, and it nearly, nearly f***in worked, I hate it when ppl say we lost or threw it away because Gerrard slipped or we capitulated against Palace, we lost the title because we dropped to many points against lesser teams notably Villa and Hull City,
Fwiw, I think TPM should have fell on his sword after our drubbing at Stoke, but he didn't and again he got fu**ed over by FSG and the TC in that summer window, final nail for me for Brendan, he knew it, he knew he wasn't up to getting those players up for another challenge, and the body language and the results told us the rest,
Fancy cars, whiter teeth better looking bi*ch. doesn't really matter. But his utterings were. They mattered, because ppl like your good self could see through the bullshittiness, and hats off mate,
It's history for me now and although it frustrates the sh*t out of me, I would rather look forward now and give massive Bifters to Jürgen and his merry men.
