“Look” seems a very popular one at the mo for managers, players and ex players, it is quite annoying but I guess it’s their way to say “listen to me” as long as he can coach and lead I don’t care.

Totally. His press conferences and after matches are for our consumption. We can all ignore phrases when we’re winning!
Christ, if I put up with Thompson and Murphy with his fecking poems etc…I can ignore the ‘look!’

Curle used to drive me mad saying "this football club" all the time.
McP was fond of saying "we worked our socks off"
You could tell Fullarton was text book coaching school with his "Controi the controlables"
Nolan "it takes time"
