"Béla Guttmann was a famed Hungarian football (soccer) player and manager from the 1920s through to the 1970s. He rarely stayed at a club as a manager for more than two seasons, and is also said to have left a curse on Benfica after they refused to give him a pay rise, despite twice winning the European Cup.
Gareth is saying he’s like Guttman, but for love not football — he not only rarely stays in long term relationships, but then curses his exes once he leaves them so they are celibate from then on."
"A Bela Guttman of love, curse all my exes to a life of celibacy" = absolute gold!
This is not my interpretation, rather one from http://rock.rapgenius.com/Los-campesinos-let-it-spill-lyrics that explains this life PERFECTLY.
