Brits murdered 35 million of us, contrived 12 devastating famines, looted $45 trillion, reduced India to an opium economy, broke us in two, left us with a life expectancy of 32 years. But we survived.
India is beautiful because Indians are beautiful. Happy Independence Day! 🇮🇳
𝟭. 𝗚𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲 failed spectacularly at Valencia CF because he took a massive job with zero managerial grounding. He won 3 of 16 games, oversaw one of the club’s worst runs in decades, lost the dressing room almost immediately, and became a tactical punchbag. Players didn’t trust him, fans protested, and the team collapsed. It wasn’t bad luck he simply wasn’t ready, and La Liga exposed him fast.
𝟮. 𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀 lasted 31 days at Oldham Athletic. That alone tells you everything. He walked into a chaotic club, won 1 game in 6, showed no clear identity, no authority, no long-term plan then quit when it got uncomfortable. That’s not failure through pressure; that’s failure through lack of commitment to the craft.
𝟯. 𝗥𝗼𝘆 𝗞𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗲 managed Ipswich Town and later Sunderland AFC. At Ipswich he had a brief high, then burned bridges and left instability. At Sunderland, it went worse: poor results, toxic atmosphere, players switching off. His intensity turned from edge to excess. Motivation without structure doesn’t last over a season, and teams eventually tuned him out.
All three relied on status instead of substance. They thought elite mentality would replace coaching education, tactical depth, and man-management. Football doesn’t work like that anymore.
Legacy gets you the job.
Competence keeps you in it.
None of them had enough of the second, and every club paid the price.
