I assume asking what was in Manuel's head is a rhetorical question. I, for one, would not deign to understand any of the thinking of a man who would choose to become the manager or coach of any sports team in Philadelphia. I mean, dealing with the players is fine, but those fans! [Note to self: Insert standard Jen and dauls disclaimer here.] Really, why not just jump in front of a bus and get it over with?
