Bang on, that. He can boil my proverbial with his touchline antics, but much like a player schooled in the dark arts, I can well imagine you’d love him if he was at your team and hate him if not. He defo had a touch of that Mourinho v1 siege mentality that got the most out of his players.Off the pitch, he seems a good, genuine guy. On the pitch, an absolute weapon. Suppose all top managers have that streak.
He is a superb manager though and will be a massive loss for them. Seen the links to Alonso and while he's doing brilliantly at Leverkusen, its his first major job and a totally different proposition to the RS. We seen how well Gerrard done at Rangers and was lauded at the next big thing. Couldnt replicate that at Villa.
Fingers crossed he’s leaving in good health, and if the team takes a dip in form when he goes, I won’t shed any tears!
I think Alonso would be a good shout, but I defo take your point. Too early in his career to know either way.
