Guus Hiddink seems like one of the nicest and gentlemanly figures in the Premier League.
The Dutchman is well respected and up until today, we assumed he was well liked too.
Well not by Tony ‘Angry’ Pulis he isn’t.
The West Brom manager faces the Premier League champions tomorrow night, but clearly misses Jose Mourinho as he’s lashed out at the former Netherlands coach this afternoon.
Pulis told reporters that just because Chelsea are playing much better since Mourinho’s departure, scoring goals again, and not losing all the time, that the Dutchman really can’t take any of the credit for the turnaround.
To be honest, what’s been said is a load of crap in lots of respects.
The fact Mourinho won the league by a country mile – to say someone’s come in and changed it and they’re playing better and doing everything else better.
“There might have been other reasons that things didn’t go so well this year.
“But to put Jose down is completely and utterly out of order. It’s disrespectful to Mourinho and also the players that won the league last year, because they played some great football.”
Someone give that man a hug, or the giant cutout of Jose that used to be in his Chelsea office maybe.
