That is the problem with DM he's got a long winded opinion on literally everything and more specifically to this area of the forum every single football club in the world and that would be fine if he didn't display this arrogance that he knows better than anyone else, which is obviously infuriating especially when he's talking other supporters clubs of which he has no affiliation to. Christ he even said the other day (that in his mind) he knows more than the average football supporter.
Exactly how low an opinion of yourself do you have if you think you know LESS than the average football supporter. The average football supporter doesn't know an awful lot about football, watches mostly only their own games and a few champs league games, and reads the utter drivel on the back pages of newspapers which churn out nothing short of rubbish.
THe notion that because you support a club, you instantly have better knowledge of everything about that club than someone who supports a different team, is inherantly daft. There are Utd fans who barely ever watch a game, and Utd fans who watch every game of the season, hundreds of other games across the league, Europe, and put time into gaining knowledge about football in general, you think they both automatically know more than anyone who isn't a Utd fan.
Football, as with anything else in life, is knowledge, being a supporter doesn't instill knowledge in you no one else who isn't a supporter can gain. The average supporter simply doesn't spend much if any time on forums discussing football or watching other leagues, or analysing stats, or reading about it, because why should they? I know more about maths than your average student because I'm doing a maths degree and put the time in to know more, I know more than the average football fan, because I put more time into that than average as well.
Its funny, you dislike my supposed arrogance, while at exactly the same time showing your arrogance in opinions like I don't know more than the average fan, or I'm not always right(but you are more often is whats implied here).
Everywhere I look online this is being portrayed as a rant when it's exactly the opposite.
I've seen 2 different interviews with him now and they're almost the same verbatim, they're not rants at all & he obviously planned his speech.
I now have less sympathy for him as rants really show your emotions as they're generally spur of the moment emotions spilling out, this now seems to be just a dig as he's finally realised he's just a bit ****.
He said himself when appointed that results would win over the fans who called for his head & in hindsight that proves how little he knows about English fans.
Results are great but performances are King & he hasn't delivered either so deal with it.
Rant or not, he's got the team performing VERY poorly, has dropped 15 points from what I gather over Utd since the closest gap around when he took over, and as he's done at other clubs, when the going gets tough, he gets infront of camera's and blames everyone else.
I can't stand the man, he was absolutely willing to take full responsibility for winning the world club cup if he won, he took full credit for taking another managers team to the champions league win, but when his teams fail, his tactics fail, its always someone elses fault, every time. A few wins when he took over and he was demanding the job full time, a crapload of losses... entirely the fans fault.
