These articles have come at an interesting time. Normally you'd get the retrospectives when somebody has actually won something. You could view it that there's a certain arrogance in pushing the media agenda in that direction, after all, it's no coincidence that the articles have been published together.
Another way of looking at it is that he's taking the pressure off the players by becoming the focus of the spotlight. It's what Mourinho does all the time, but in a completely different way. Mourinho likes to stir things up, be controversial, and generally make a tit of himself. Brendan seems to be doing it, as ever, in his own, less conventional way.
Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it. I'm thinking about football too much. And there's only so much you can think about before you start making **** up.
