Ego?
Erm...... Poyet?????????????
As for out of the game...
He has been an expert pundit on TV for years, and is currently coaching a rapidly-improving team in the Premiership
Or being statistically one of the best managers England have ever had, will that do?
Or getting Swindon promoted to the top light in his first season.
Some people really ought to read up on a subject before they spout shite.
I'll never forget (or forgive) that challenge, but it didn't stop my missus and I having a drink with him a few years back after bumping into him in a pub.
He bought the round!
His football, coaching, and managerial abilities are second to none.
Couldn't give a toss about a few remarks from years ago.
Get the genius in now if he wants to of course, and lets start winning lots of games.
