is where it all started to unravel.

Was just saying this to my mate. Undoubtedly was the beginning of the end. Was absolute stupidity / arrogance / greed.

Actually true.

 

[beats1]

I can't remember what it said but I know people on here referred to it like the bible

 

[knowlespurs]

Agreed
Read it and no doubt would have pissed the players off
Arrogant especially as we won fuck all

Plane and simple Hubris from Poch

If he had won some silverware then he might have gotten away with it. But for a coach with zero silverware in the bank it was just stupid.

 

[Nebby]

He believed his own hype.

Wait til you read his next book

Wait til you read his next book

The new new testament?

 

[Graysonti]

What was the general gist ?

 

[DJS]

It’s never a good idea for a manager still in the job to bring a book out.

And to think I bought that for dad for Christmas (I had no choice really he’s that hard to buy for I was desperate lol).

 

[Deleted member 27995]

Yeah, but I've been saying this for fucking ages.

 

[dricha1]

There were a few pages on a fall out with Dier cos he talked to Mourinho....?

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

They did hit a patchy run of mixed/poor results, immediately after the publication. Then later that season they went on to having a great winter/spring, with wins over ManUtd, Arsenal and Chelsea. I'm sure the book wasn't a great idea in hindsight, but I would put the spotlight, in terms of starting to unravel, on the spectacle with Mike Dean in the match vs. Burnley.

 

[sausage]

What was the general gist ?

"I motivate my players with these psychological and tactical secrets...."


[book is released, everyone reads it]


"Wait... why have my secrets suddenly become completely ineffective??"

 

[werty]

Anyone got any good snippets from it?

 

[Shadydan]

Ah yes, page 65 chapter 4 of the book was suddenly the moment when Sissoko had the flashback in the final which made him raise his arm

Some bloke woke a 13 year old Poch up in the middle of the night to inspect his legs, was a little weird imo.
