The thing with the Maureen comparisons is that Brendan is a far better manager. Not because he has more experience or is better at mind games, but because when he says he is in it for the long haul, he means it. Special one has spent his career burning bridges, and may even have done so with the plastics if their owner was not such a meatheaded megalomaniac giving it the footy manager every now and then. I suspect that was the real reason that MUFC did not go for him, no longevity.
To be devils advocate with Brendan, we could say that we have the two great strikers with phenomenal ability in the team and you might even have to work hard to make them not win most games. For him most substantially, is that he really coaches new levels of ability across the team more than any premiership manager has done in a long while. I struggle to find his equivalent in my memory. He does not even want us to be progressing so fast I suspect, as stated by him in a recent presser. He is right, we could do with having a bit more squad bedded in before too long if CL footy is coming soon. So glad Henry was here for a view of a proper thrashing handed out by his club. Will be amazed if he did not want to spend on reinforcements after that.
