Hi There, I'll bite, Dunc, eh sorry Dougal
Not quite sure if jealousy is the best thing to accuse me, and others of. I have no aspirations to be a manager or player. I just feel rancour about to the smug grinning way that DS milked the adulation of the Seagulls in the studio audience. I did not feel any desire for him and Pele to fail at Pittodrie, but felt a wee bit "told you so" when they did.
I do not, as a rule, chastise players or managers for moving. Many have a short career in what is a notoriously unforgiving profession. I was disappointed when they left, but would have done exactly the same thing, were I in his position. We had rumblings that they were going to go, and waited an official announcement and waited. Then his apprearance just cheapened everything that they had acheived at ICT. This maybe gives us an insight into his character, and not a good one. As another poster has intimated, we have ours suspicions that SP may not have moved without the influence of DS. A bad call, as it happened.
