"Parasite" Pundits

Jose Mourinho has laid into ex-managers who spend their time as "pundits" for TV, radio and newspapers -- and quite rightly too.
Mourinho told the Sunday Express: "The best job in the world is to be a sacked coach. You get up at 10.30am, take breakfast, go for a jog followed by a sauna and a calm surf of sporting sites on the net.
"Lunch with friends, a siesta, a walk, a meeting with your adviser to see how the markets are doing, a visit to the bank to weigh up the interest rates, or to see if the salary the club is still paying you has cleared the account.
"Return home, have a great meal with the family. That still leaves you time to criticise people you don't know.
"There are so many coaches in this world who want to work but can't and there are those dashing blades who, through their quality and prestige, could work but don't want to, because life as a parasite fulfils them professionally and economically.
"Get to work you idle scoundrel! And if you don't want to, let others work in peace."
Is there anybody who doesn't agree with him? I can't wait to hear and read the pearls of wisdom that spew from the mouths and pens of the "parasites" following this deserved criticism.

True…true…true. Almost can be applied to any other field of our society. Doing and being successful is hard, especially in the high completive and corrosive world of high sports. No drought it is much more comfortable being seated in the sofa, where nothing can go wrong and criticise the others rather than doing it themselves.
Go …go Chelsea.
