EX-FULHAM manager Rene Meulensteen is furious that a pot of tea he had brewed to perfection was consumed by his replacement.
The hapless tactician had been out of the room for four minutes, which was sufficient time for Magath to pour the tea and take at least two cautious sips.
Meulensteen said: Id been gone just long enough time for the flavours to blend but not long enough for the tea to stew.
So you can imagine my disappointment at seeing Magath sat there nursing a cup.
When I checked the pot there wasnt enough for me, Ray Wilkins, Alan Curbishley or any of the other people who may or may not manage Fulham these days.
Magath is known for his authoritarian attitude and has already banned mobile phones, iPods and crack cocaine from training.
While his arrival appears to mark the end of Meulensteens brief and baffling rein, the club insists that the Dutchman is still under contract. Indeed statistics suggest that around seven in every 10 people in the UK are currently managing Fulham.
A government poster campaign will outline symptoms of the condition, such as gazing morosely at the league table and knowing who Alexander Kacaniklic is.
