Just how has Roy earned and preserved this 'nice guy' tag - and since when has it been worth shed? Was Cloughie a nice guy? He was different class as a manager - Mourhino isnt a nice guy, but he's a manager who can apply tactics and motivate players. Th most successful manager in our league is anything but a nice guy. I don't care if our gaffer is a curmudgeonly creep who openly detests the entire human race, just as long as he shows skill, nerve and at least a modicum of respect for the traditional Liverpool manager's rapport with the Kop. Some seem to think the Liverpool Way is to blindly support a manager no matter what the performance or results of the side - that is blinkered and dangerous. This man was appointed by Christian Purslow, with the backing of hicks and Gillet with the enthusiastic laughter of the london media. So far, he has shown he knows nothing about the Liverpool way - pressure on the ball, passion and pride in the team, pass and move, unity (and handling yourself in a dignified and respectful way)- and he needs to go. He is a symptom of the cancer we hope NESV have the courage to excise.
