Yes he did - and respect - something in short supply these days.

To be fair Rafa has not pulled any punches either

Yeah in fairness to him he hasn't but Shanks would have had more of the UK audience with him I think maybe I'm wrong but I think the press would give him more respect than Rafa gets - which I suppose wouldn't be hard given the complete lack of respect Rafa receives

I wonder how Bill would cope with todays footballers??

He would have indulged them to the hilt when it suited him all the while wearing his Scottish hardman-of-the-people mask. At least that's what his beatified successor, the last in the line of old-school football values, does at Man. Utd.

Rafa would get more respect if he was English, it's that simple.

 

Look at the amount of s*** English managers who receive adulation from the media.
