Some good observations about this utter helmet on the Betfair forums - all by one poster:
The bloke has realised he made an utter tool of himself with 'that' interview and has therefore decided to permanently adopt the voice mannerisms of a foreigner speaking English, believing that people will here it and think a) "Oh that's actually his normal voice, he wasn't being a complete clown" and b) "Well, people start talking with different mannerisms when they live abroad for a while.
Whilst people might start to pick up an accent after many years in a foreign country, they do not alter the pattern that they speak their native language in. And they certainly don't do it within 18 months of living somewhere.
The man is an utter clown and in his own head hears what he imagines is a 'sophisticated' European manager. Everyone else hears mental illness.
-------------------------------------------------------
I couldn't care less about his managerial ability or skill in punditry and I've expressed on opinion on either.
However, someone going from speaking their native language in the way he used to to talking in his current, faux foreign manner, complete with "someone speaking in their second language" inflections and mannerisms, after living abroad for a couple of years, is a sure sign of severe personality disorder.
He might be the best manager in the world. He might be the best pundit in the world. But his amazing, and I don't use that word lightly, deliberate comedy mangling of his own speech is a sign of a total nutter
-------------------------------------------------------
Here he is again.
"I think ............. he is ........... very good ..........."
"It is .............. like this .............. ten years ago"
Which daft foreign intonation and the odd word dropped out of most sentences.
The bloke is a nutter
-------------------------------------------------------
"You play .......... two players together ........... who probably never play together ....... even in the training"
"Well they played together at Liverpool"
-------------------------------------------------------
