Why?

Why do I secretly kinda like this man? Like any right-thinking person, I should hate him, but I don't. I own a t-shirt with Christiano Ronaldo's face on it bearing the legend "Let's kick Ronaldo out of football", so it's not as though it's not in me. Can anyone suggest therapy?

Alas, the rest of him remains a fourth-grade bully. If the man didn't have a brilliant soccer mind, he would have likely ended very badly.

Well, he probably will end very badly, anyway.

I heard the Jose drum beats and I said then and now I would rather lose football matches than bring that fooking misery to our club. His sell by date is two years. After that he has to move. I would venture to guess he takes little pleasure in football because he is so obsessed. Brilliant but very troubled-

It would have to be a team in "flyover country" to matter. That's not something he's done, in any context.
