Mourinho was not first-choice at United. His football is anything but the overhyped "United way". Most of their fans' first choice was Pep. Mou, the global PR honcho Mendes, as well as his media pals know he still has to win over sections of their fans. And we all know how much of a **** he is. Class is the last word anyone uses to describe him. While on this side of Manchester, we hv Pep, who is not only the most successful & brightest mind in Europe in the last decade, but also plays attractive football and is ALSO a classy guy. He does not indulge in non-sense, trolling or throwing muck! Whats more, he wipes the floor with Mou on head-to-heads as well.
Now this is the scenario. Imagine you are the tabloid rags. Your most important job: How do you create the perception that Mou vs Pep is a match-up of EQUALS? Big-up Mou AND/OR throw muck at Pep. And there are well-known usual suspects from whose shoulder, you can fire potshots at Pep. So interview these morons. I am sure many of these quotes were made months or several weeks before or even years before. But they dont matter. The spin matters. And the timing matters even more. Pep as a concept, is too good to be true. Pep is almost perfect. There is very little stick to beat him with. So just before the derby, you are seeing the result of all the "hardwork" of these lovely media muppets.
The good news is Pep has no time for these bellends. So should we.
