SAF will always have my respect for what he did for Paul Lake, at the time it seemed a lot more than the club was willing or able to do.

God how I hate that fucking team.

Personally, I cannot accept that he was a good manager. My dislike of the man is so entrenched within me that I will not see beyond the execrable tyrant that he was, and how his foul-mouthed threats to the officials and the media personnel put them above the rules. Immense sums of money, favouritism and/or threats towards anyone not a part of his inner-circle made them successful, not his footballing nous.

For these reasons alone I will never respect to him.

He is and always will be a ****

We'll put you in the " not sure " camp

With you on that one. Respect the achievements but not the man. An inveterate bully and woe betide if you got on his bad side.

I don't even respect the achievements. Nothing was achieved on sporting merit. For instance there was a specific reason why gate money stopped being split with the away side.

He was a cheat
He was a bully
He ridiculed City
He got away with crime
He consistently lied
He hounded players out the club
He is narcisstict
He retired when the going got tough

I have zero respect for that god awful man. Most rags hate him as well due to the horse spunk incident and blame him for the Glazers buying them (I respect him for that)

It's interesting - if you look at their red cafe, the older fans (middle-aged and older) still won't hear a bad word about him. But as you go down the age ranges more and more people are beginning to resent him: for the reasons you mention and his meddling such as the phone call to Ronaldo. I suppose as the years and years pass without a PL or indeed a trophy of any kind, I can only see this continuing until a majority of their fans hate him.... but I don't think we are quite there yet.

For a minute there, I thought you were talking about fake Ronaldo, LOL.
