I have always hated everyone I have ever worked with, hated their behaviour, attitudes, ideas, motivations, just hated everything about them. But I can find ways to keep it all under wraps and play along when there's advantage in it for me. I can't keep it up for ever and always end up getting sacked in the long term, but short to medium term I can bite my tongue. I suspect Maureen can and will have to do the same. He'll recover some sort of form, get the team rolling, the media will reboot the love-in, Maureen will get comfortable and then he'll revert to his true nature and it will all go to shit again. You'd have to think Abramovich has his own issues, it must be such fun being around that loony bin.
Obviously i don't know you at all, but you don't come across as someone with NPD, i think you are very forthright in your opinion and you are unafraid to tell people what you think (and why should you this is a forum, not a family funeral) but i imagine the people you didn't like and couldn't work with it was more about them being morons than them criticising you which sparked an immediate backlash because your immediate response to criticism is aggression (usually ad hominem).
I see you debate with Letters and if you say something disparaging it's normally of the views he holds and not because you think he has dared disparage you, and unless you do a very good job of hiding it you never seem particularly angry or spiteful in your responses.
And so i can imagine even if you intensely dislike someone you are quite even handed about it, Mourinho isn't....look how he has become with Wenger...absolutely and totally obsessed.
