Brendan relied on technique. He’s a ‘football’ man.
But football is not just tactics, formations etc.
A big part of it is understanding the hearts of men, knowing what motivates each individual. Boosting morale.
Brendan failed the second part. He struggled with this at Liverpool too. It became about him, his ego. His vanity. Pure pomposity, narcissism and bullshit.
It was obviously Brendan lost the dressing room about 7 months ago. Whereas Pearson and Ranieri could take diamonds in the rough, and bring out their best - Brendan took good players, and turned them average - or just plain shitty.
He has the opposite of a Midas touch. Instead of turning things into gold, he turns them into crap.
