Thats fine but he is a club legend and people should treat him accordingly.
Paddy is a big hyphocrite for me. Last season he was absolutley ranting to a BBC journalist when he was phoned up after we won the Fa cup because the Journo made the suggestion Mourinho would be announced as the new United manager and he wanted to know Paddy's toughts. Paddy would have none of it, called him pretty much a lier and said he should reveal his sources or else it was made up bullshit. He pointed out, it was impossible United was going to fire LVG because he just won the Fa Cup and the entire team was celebrating and he said Woody fiercely hugged LVG and that was all the proof you could need to see United wasn't going to fire him, because they were delighted with him and could never go behind the manager back to fire him, and all the Mourinho rumours were shrugged off as lies to destablize the club and the manager and he was seriously pissed off about it all.
First of all I found it highly disrespectful and unprofessional the way he talked to that journalist as it was being broadcasted on live tv. Second of all he was clearly completley wrong in his assumptions and his rant was totally unjustified but he never took it on him to apologize for it or admit that he was in the wrong. In fact they had to cancel his MUTV show the next monday without giving proper reason because he was obviously to scared to face the public after this all. I was seriously embarrassed he represented the club and behaved like that. In fact I had hoped the Club would have ended working with him as a MUTV pundit because his behavior was just seriously not acceptable and clearly harmed the clubs image.
I also absolutley don't like how red-tinted his commentary is during games. I have no problem that he his biased, he is clearly a fan and that is ok if you work on the club channel but when I'am watching our games and we are playing wank, nothing annoys me more than those kind of fans who keep bigging up the club and do their utmost best to let everything look much better than it really is. Like you are watching a game where Rooney is just total wank and you could punch him for it, then you have crerand who doesn't utter a word of criticisme about Rooneys numerous feck ups but he when he does the most simple thing right, starts bigging him up as if he is some kind of genius.
He also comes across as the sort of true red fan who think they are better than other fans because they never utter a bad word about the club and act like a brainwashed united puppet because that is the proper way, the only way to conduct yourself as a fan. These sort of people make me sick to my stomach. They are the sort of people that would have put you in your place when you dared criticise LVG or Moyes and would have branded you as a bad fan for wanting the manager to be sacked. Yet when they actually are sacked they are the first to applaude the club and the new manager, which completley does my head in.
He is a club legend and he deserves respect for that but his behavior is unfitting to be a public representative of the club and he is a bad pundit because he is totally not capable of looking at things from a neutral perspective which is a necessity for being serious in your analysis.
