MAGATH
The chairman has seen me take this club to heights it has not seen for many years, and produce some of the greatest football these fans have ever seen, and he wants me to f***ing leave, because I have an ego that is too big for this sh**hole of a club? That b*****d gave me a job to do, and i have done it, what else does he want me to do, dance on the centre circle? Well he can go f**k himself.
