I don't think anyone doubted his motivation or his grit.
Basically everything else, sure.

It's difficult when he always has his hands in the pockets of
that fine stadium jacket.

I think that's where his counting to 1 and 2 takes place, in
said pockets. Even the odd 0

'I know I have the minerals for Sale job' - Sanderson
Sale Sharks boss Alex Sanderson says he has no doubts over his
own position in the wake of a 85-19 home thrashing by Saracens
on Sunday.
Sarries ran in 13 tries as Sale slumped to their 10th defeat in
13 league matches this season.
Sale take on fellow strugglers Harlequins on Saturday.
Defeat would put a top-eight finish and qualification for next
season's Champions Cup in jeopardy for a team who have made the
play-offs in four of their previous five campaigns.
Sale currently sit seventh in the Prem table, six points clear
of Gloucester and seven ahead of Quins.
"When criticism is levelled at you, as it has been, I don't
reflect on not whether I've got the minerals, because I know I
have," said Sanderson.
"Actually, if anything, it has motivated me more to reward or
give back to those who believe and to prove the doubters wrong.
"It just doubled my motivation, if I'm honest."
Sale beat Quins three weeks ago in the Champions Cup and
Sanderson promises his side will be much improved on their
return to the Twickenham Stoop.
England flanker Tom Curry could make his return to action after
a calf injury sustained in the pre-match warm-up for the Six
Nations match against Italy in March.
"We're going to get a major response," Sanderson said. "100%,
that's what we're getting
"I just have faith in the group I have complete faith in the
quality of people and the players that they are.
"I'd put my mortgage on it that they're gonna give a good
performance."
Sale are co-owned by Simon Orange, who sold his investment fund
in a deal reported to be worth more than £1bn in January 2025.,
external
Sanderson met with Orange the day after the defeat by Saracens,
and said he was reassured by his support and understanding in
light of the raft of injuries and loss of backroom coaches Marco
Bortolami and Byron McGuigan that has disrupted their season.
"Simon was the first person to contact me on Monday morning at
eight o'clock. He sent me a text, in support of what we're
doing, where we're going, because he's on the inside and kind of
knows it all," added Sanderson.
"We sat for a couple of hours and talked about all kind of
things because he doesn't just want to be kind of a silent
partner in owning and running the club - he has ideas and
suggestions, some of which are extremely, extremely well-founded
because he's a bit of a genius.
"The co-owners are heavily involved, heavily supportive and
offer suggestions, but they are smart enough to leave it to the
guys that are in there every day for the kind of in-moment,
Churchillian speeches and all that."

Sanderson and “Churchillian speeches” is hard to visualise.

As Trump might say, "he's no Sanderson..."
