Ask any fan of any club he has ever managed - he is a legend in their eyes.
Some City fans have been shocked by the vitriol and the way we are now perceived by everyone else.
The same applies to Jose, it's because he would rather be feared (and that's what it is) than loved.
As long as the club he works for love him, he don't give a shit.
He is calculating personified, everything for a reason.
Where was the focus last night of the Barca fans, it was all on Jose, not trying to beat a team that were ready to walk through brick walls for their manager.
In many so called experts on here then, Brian Clough and Malcolm Allison were pricks too, then?
Jose has a lot of respect for City, in a way, we were the ones who put him on the road.
He always recalls how it was Malcolm Allison letting him sit in on his training sessions at Porto in the early 80s which inspired him.
