Egomaniac, or just not English enough?

What is clear, though, is
that Pietersen’s directness has put noses out of joint. In part, this
is the story of a culture clash: self-deprecation, Pietersen will
have discovered, is more the English way. And yet the phrase “I would
rather be king of my own castle”, relating to the power of the
captain, was written by none other than Mike Brearley. No one called
him an egomaniac.
Lawrence Booth, aka The Spin. I’d add that the ECB weren’t altogether overjoyed with the amount of work Pietersen decided to do on his castle. Extensions, renovations; a little darkened closet for Belly in the bell tower, but no name plate on Moores’ door.

I think his timing was not great. After losing a test series and getting whitewashed in one-dayers and losing the Stanford match, KP wasn’t scoring high in the “what have you done for me lately?” sense. And, even worse timing, the Ashes is coming in 6 months, so a protracted battle of wills was not acceptable, and I imagine a major renovation seemed impractical.
