This episode of The Therapy Crouch is brought you by Indeed. Okay, Pete, I've got a question for you. Who is the best boss you've ever had? Oh, I've had some great ones, but my old favourite is Harry Rednapp. Not me. You're not my manager. Why is that? Why, Harry? He signed me three times. He must have thought I've been doing something, right? Well, obviously, you were. You scored a hell of a lot of goals for him, but getting a job because you know the person doing the hiring. That happens all the time in football, doesn't it? Well, it's not like it's a normal job, is it? He wasn't looking through my CV and asking me if he thought I had any transferable skills that I could bring to the first team. But now you mention it, it does happen a lot. I manage will know and trust his players and often bring them that in for that reason. Okay. Harry should do that a lot. Well, luckily it worked out well with you and Harry, but it happens everywhere, doesn't it? And not always with great results. I mean, when you put it like that,

Do you remember the dummies he'd go missing in the middle of the night and you'd have to run to the shops before the tantrum started? The killer was the actual bottles. If you forgot them, like, which was quite often, oh, I forgot them, you'd go mad. See, I think the nappies, you go through them so quick, and then all of a sudden they've ran out. Do you know, also wet wipes, that was the one, if I went on my own, quite often someone, you have to give me some, who was more organised Yeah, but no, well I'd pack the bag and you'd leave it at the door and go out without them.
