From the quietest man in football, limited media access to him as a player to his alter ego in the BT studio slating anything and everything about United”s struggles and Mourinho’s failings. One win in seven with three losses in his first foray at his boyhood club. Perhaps it was his Chairman’s interference- the fella who was paying for everything - or it was the realisation it wasn’t playing out as he had hoped. I doubt that had he had a run of results like his former teammate Solskjaer had at United he would have turned his hand in so easily. Not sure. Can’t see many other clubs rushing to offer him a place in the dugout. Mourinho has probably shrugged his shoulders at these events. Expect him back in the BT Studio soon.
He treated the whole thing like how an everyday fan would treat a new save on a video game. Basically he's thought to himself "this was fun for a few days but I'm bored now so I'll just switch this off and never load it up again." This is real life, Oldham are a proper football club with real supporters and real staff who work there, there's real emotion. He's never struck me as the emphatic sort. He'll probably be hoping Solskjaer gives him a job now.
The supposed golden generation don't seem to be grasping how management has changed in recent years. I debated with some friends about Thierry Henry when he went to Monaco, I predicted to them he'd flop but they were insistent he'd be brilliant. Their reasoning was "he's Thierry Henry, because of his legend they're going to bust a gut to impress him. That Monaco team has loads of ability, they just need someone like him to get them to work harder".
That was an very naive argument for me. Players nowadays respond to father-figure managers and not "gaffers" who basically just shout at them lot or seem unapproachable. I guess it's just a millennial thing. A good example was that press conference where he told a youth player to tuck his chair in as if he were teacher in a class full of children. Should have said something in private if it was a problem, instead he embarrassed the lad in front of the world's media needlessly. Is anyone 20-something young man gonna run his heart out for a guy who'd do that to him? It wasn't a show of leadership it was purely a show of arrogance, for me he sealed his own failure that day.
