Gap fill ____Football Managers, Faith Healers and Psychologists

Q to S-2 Fill in the missing particles:

Will we ever recover _______ the plague of psychologists which has struck at the heart of big business and major sporting events?

I have a great deal of respect _______ Kevin Keegan, who ranks _______ England's finest football managers, but I feel sorry _______ England's players who still have to rely _______ psychologists to prepare them for big matches.

Keegan's predecessor, Glenn Hoddle was equally qualified _______ the job of national football coach, yet his solution _______ the problem of mental preparation was to employ a faith-healer. Hoddle had to leave his post because he did not appear to be sympathetic _______ mentally and physically handicapped people. He suggested that the problems they were suffering _______ were the consequences of sins they had committed in an earlier life and that they were therefore responsible _______ for their own handicaps.

After succeeding _______ getting rid _______ Hoddle, you would have thought that English football would have little room _______ managers with eccentric beliefs. However, The Guardian reports _______ the use by Keegan of Watt Nicoll, a former stage hypnotist, to motivate the England squad before their match against Poland. The result _______ the match was 3: 1 in England's favour. It would appear that Keegan is serious _______ motivational psychology. Had England lost to Poland, we could all have smiled _______ him. In the light of the home victory, Nicoll was presented with an England shirt for his trouble and no money was subtracted _______ his wages.

I am very suspicious _______ psychologists and find it hard to credit Nicoll with any responsibility _______ the favourable England result. His business card describes him as Watt Nicoll MP. The letters MP usually stand _______ "Member of Parliament", but here they merely stand _______ "Motivated Person". Nicoll is said to have qualified _______ Motivational Psychology in the United States, before returning to England to reinvent himself as a business guru.

The England players' reactions _______ their psychology session were mixed. Some of them believe that a good score-line is related ______ the motivation of the team; others are sick ______ hypnotists and faith healers, but are reluctant to quarrel _______ Kevin Keegan. In any case, a little distraction before a big match probably saves everyone _______ nerves and they are at least safe ________ Glenn Hoddle's strange views about reincarnation.
