I've just watched a film called 'The Outfit' with Mark Rylance, his character toward the end says, and perhaps rings a bit with RDZ:
It's at the finishings that you must come to terms with the idea that perfection is a necessary goal, precisely because it is unattainable. If you don't aim for...
I think the difference isn't mentality, it's that managers rarely get poached from or leave a big club for another job when things are going well.
They generally get sacked or part ways of mutual consent for the end of their tenure. I doubt Liverpool fans for example a year or so ago when they...
Swansea scored 65 goals in his season there, given the fire sale they went through, it was impressive. The following season in which you seem to hold up as evidence of Cooper doing much better they scored 63.
Hughton got 34 then 35 goals, Potter followed that with 39, 40 and 42. Don't think...

Doesn’t always work though, home to Forest Spurs and Villa wasn’t too clever, poor away at Brentford, Arsenal granted players missing but still.
I’m not sure people’s need to run down Potter is effecting how they view...
