Football is dead, all hail the traitors!

This post isn't news. It's not written to educate you as I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here.
It is written out of pure bitterness. Or as IA would have said:
"I am not angry. I'm just sad and dissapointed..."

Pehrsson, GAIS manager, said this in an interview when he got the following question:

-Can you guarantee that you will coach GAIS next season?
-
I have a contract for another two years and I am fully set on completing that contract

About a week later he takes the boat over to Denmark, without saying anything to the GAIS board, and negotiates a contract with another club. This after he handpicked all the players and spent all GAIS transfer money for the next season...

Now I understand that today beeing a manager is just a job like any other and like any of us a manager will move to a new club/company if the money is much better. I accept, if not like, that.

But when did it become O.K. to decive and lie and treat the fans and board like fools in order to further your own cause? When did a promise or a given word stop mean anything more than temporary wind?

Pehrsson is not the first, James Keene for one comes to mind..., nor will he be the last. But I will always hate the lying bastards and hope they forever fail miserably in everything they do.

In retrospect Wiltons acting when he left the club was positively a beacon of straightforwardness and honesty. Don't get me wrong, he's a cunt and will never be allowed inside the holy city (Göteborg) again. But still better than Keene and Pehrsson I'd say.

All hail amature football, that's all I have to say.

I understand you. The board said for one week or two, that you can´t by everything for money (when the press was guessing if he was a hot prospect for Djurgården). They told all the fans out there, that it would be madness to get rid of the one who built the hole squad as well. Who can you trust out there?
I don´t think that Phersson did his trip to Denmark behind the back of the board. But his actions did him self to an impossible person for the board to work with , and the rest is history. The world is selfish, face it...But remember, no pain no gain.

SD forever blue and white.
