The myth of management

Last month, Pádraig Harrington told us, on the back of Europe’s Ryder Cup win, that Paul McGinley could do a job managing in the Premier League.

This week, at the Web Summit in the RDS, we found out why, as McGinley showed us there was more to Europe’s win than the colour of the fish in the Gleneagles aquarium.

To make them win it, he showed the lads pictures. One of some rocks, festooned in blue and yellow, a monument to European implacability. Another of a young Seve, imploring them to look into his ruthless eyes.
