Funny how the bits of history he’s forgetful about always accidentally end up making him look better, isn’t it?
Re autonomy, given the absolute dogshit he saddled us with when he didn’t have Poch or Koeman calling in favours and making him look good, I’m with Gao on this one.
For a true reflection of his own ability you just need to see how he got on as a manager. One of the worst records in premier league history (until Rusty came along).
Respect where it’s due, he appointed two good managers. Other than that he’s a serial bullshitter who has made a career out of taking credit for other people’s achievements.
