4. The English
Press
Yes, thanks to them Newcastle have lost, well, not the best manager, but
the coolest
manager in
the Premier League. In his resignation statement Ruud Gullit said that
one of
the main reasons
for his departure were the press's constant interference with his private
life.
''During the last year I have had reporters, photographers constantly around
my home
in
Newcastle, people following me when I go to eat, go out, go to the cinema,
but
the
worst part is that they have been harassing my family in Holland and that
for
me
was the limit. I cannot see the point why my family has to suffer for my
profession.
For
me my family always comes first and therefore I took this decision to resign."
Ruud Gullit might not have had the best record as a manager, but one thing
he
did
have was the reputation to lure players from all over the continent. A
lot of foreigners
when
they arrive at St. James' cite one of the main reasons of coming to Newcastle
is
that
they get to play under Ruud Gullit.
So, congratulations to The Sun, The Daily Telegraph, and The Daily Wanker
for bringing to
the
end the reign of the coolest manager in the Premiership.
