You could tell during both derby games

He was not caught up in the match at all. He looked pissed off with the performances, but 15 years and counting, local bragging rights....wasnt obvious he gave a solitary s**t about that, and didnt even make an effort to pretend he did. When he did the usual football thing of "its just 3 points we've lost" I actually believed, for him, that to be true.

I know ultimately they're all just professionals doing a job, but he seemed to give off a particular "zero loyalty" vibe. Which I suspect is a real strength for a manager/head coach, as you wont lose your s**t and will be able to take rational decisions.
