"GG is a gutless coward" - Sugar (!)

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

Alan Sugar has launched a scathing attack on former Spurs boss George raham in The Mirror:

"George Graham is a gutless coward who will not stand up and admit he has made mistakes. In my time at Tottenham I made lots of mistakes, the biggest was possibly employing him.
I did so after putting aside personal feelings. Everybody knew he was a big pal of Terry Venables - and, as you are probably aware, I've had a few run-ins with him. He also had been the manager of Arsenal, our biggest rivals. But I put all of this to the back of my mind and focused instead on his supposed credentials.
Yet like the Spurs fans I got mugged into believing this Adonis of the football world was the be-all and end-all in man-management, tactics and skills.
What I eventually realised was that I had employed a has-been, a man living off his past success at Arsenal. A coward not prepared to admit his mistakes. A man whose shortcomings were camouflaged by his mates in the media, men who, if they talked long enough, could even convince you that Gary Lineker had tiny ears."

I guess the man is entitled to his opinion, but considering he now feels so strongly about it one could ask why he simply didn't get rid of him before walking away from the Club himself, and leaving someone else to do the dirty work?

Whinge, whinge, whinge. So easily offended, so quick to offend. Such thin-skin. Suprised Spurs never took to him as one of their own.
