Second place is the first loser.
I remember that. Oh the tears taste so bitter. It' so sweet.
Two of them have now passed away and the other two are dead, professionally!
Paul Smith was sacked when it was eventually discovered he wasn't actually attending games, but doing them off the TV, pissed out of his head.
As for Beasley, he made himself a national joke during the Redknapp tax evasion case before burning his last bridge when he broke Mourinho's confidence to write a book on his supposed mate. No other work was forthcoming.
I especially have fond memories of Beasley's world exclusive quoting his source: "Pep is joining Man City, that's 99.999per cent. He joined Bayern the next day.
He was only three years out.

I also remember the odious Beasley having a meltdown on the Hawksbee and Jacobs Show on Talkshite, after Andy Jacobs called him out about some shite he’d been spouting. Can’t remember what it was precisely, but by the end he was all but challenging Jacobs to a fight!
He really is a bit of a weirdo wannabe hardman.
He once started a punch-up in the press box at Wembley in the mid-90s when United destroyed Chelsea in the FA Cup Final.
Beasley and some fat red wanker sports editor from the Daily Sport called Kevin Kelly started scrapping.
Most amusing to watch them rolling about on the floor.
Of all the managers to use as a juxtaposition to our extravagant spending he elects to cite Mourinho ffs.I remember that. Oh the tears taste so bitter. It' so sweet.
If I had read that in a transcript I would have thought he was being deliberately ironic for comedy purposes. Instead he was being deadly serious."Mourinho wouldn't just walk in and get the cheque book out and buy this player and that player..."
Not much he wouldn't! Absolute comedy gold.
