Quote:
'It would have been really great if I had become Belgium national coach, but I was so resentful and vindictive that I let that job go by.'It was stupid, really, because the sporting value should always come in the first place. That should have been the most important thing, but that's how I looked at things.
'It was not about money. It was all about the act of revenge. I went for my instinct, not the rational. I just have to live with that.'
'The way Manchester United have treated me was terrible. They have been mean and low.
'The former players of United started to have a go, saying that I was giving the fans boring football. That struck me. It was directed, organised.
'After a while I started to think I'm losing my authority this way towards the players. So I had to make concessions in my approach of the players. That was tough, because I've always had my own way of coaching.'

More crying from LvG.
Apparently turned down the Belgium job out of spite so he could keep her severance pay.
