“And that was my reason for after that scene that one play with the side portions. That was my reason for saying there should be no chips on a Friday night. And it was sort of written about that that was one of the reasons. But my reason was actually because one of the players who was actually at the time a bit overweight, I saw him with a side plate of chips and that's when I used or banned them, if you want to say that.”

“Yeah, I did. And it was actually something Probably most sports profession you wouldn't really have chips, but in part of it, but understood Manchester United, Sir Alex done a lot of things maybe slightly different and I totally respected that. And what happened is I remember it was one of my first games were staying the hotel and there was one player who was overweight, which I won't name. And I remember walking in and I was walking into the dining room and he had his dinner. And next to me he had a side plate of chips.”

“After thinking about it, I think that there was, I felt there were a few untruths at the end when I lost my job at Manchester United, actually. And I found it very difficult to correct him. I felt that, you know, they had been written so it was very difficult to correct him. Which they weren't right, and from that point of view, I couldn't do anything about it, and I found that actually. Probably one of the biggest difficulties because you try, you want to say, Well, here I'll explain why I made this decision, I'll explain why I chose to do that, but really, once the headlines there, that's the only thing that matters.”

“She would probably know that a lover, of course she would. I would hope she would. But more importantly, I miss her because I'm in London a lot of the time. She's up north, she's caring for her mum a lot at the moment. I just really over the time she's been great. We've had great times together. But I always want to say, I think my best times in football, I hope, are still to come, but hopefully our best times and a couple are still to come as well.”

“Trying to get a membership with a golf club at the moment back in my home. I can't get in, and they say, Well, no, you've got to play way, you've got to play with members, and you've got to play with friends to get an absent. I've got no friends. In the business we're in, it's really hard to have lots of friends outside of our industry. The reason why is because our social time when focusing on... Oh, were you out Saturday night? Yeah, but I lose. I'm not going to do it with them if I lose Saturday night. So lots of reasons why. A football manager is a great job, but it's also got lots of antisocial behaviour things because of how the job works.”

“Away just about every weekend, so you're either away staying in a hotel preparing for a game, or you're with a team and actually the way football's gone, you're in every Sunday now, you could be in all the time. There's very little family time. And actually, it's one of the things I think people don't understand. Hey, by the way, it's a great job, really well paid, game. Everybody wants to be involved in, as you like to say, but it's incredibly time consuming, you know, and it takes up so much of your time. And if you have a family, Probably they are the ones who suffer most because they don't see you as much as what probably other families might do if you work Monday nine till five, you get home at the weekends at least, being a football manager the weekends, you don't. And actually...”

And even that's a skill in itself because when you're in it, when you're the boss... Quite often we respect your partner quite often could say the wrong thing at any minute and you go. You might be thinking, why are you not thinking about no, you're in the wrong case? So I think it's really important that your partner understands exactly how you feel.”

“I think. When you're a football manager, you're going to have hard times. So, undoubtedly, hard time's been a football manager. Hey, hard times sometimes mean you get sacked and you get some money for leaving the job. You can look at that and say, hey, he's okay with that. But it's not, you've got pride. As I said to you, I was probably losing the job. I was more in embarrassment. I felt embarrassed from my family, really, that, you know, they were getting talked about, they were getting looked at people were shouting out your dad's lost his job or whatever it may be at that time so. My wife's just always stood by me and really supported me whenever it comes to the games.”

“And I have to say, you know, I remember I went to the World Cup, and I didn't have lots of money at the time, and we weren't skinned, but we didn't have loads. And the PFA helped fund me. So I think at the time the PFA helped fund me get to the World Cup to go and watch, I remember writing to... Wrote to you about five or six countries and said, You know, could I come and watch your training? None of them replied. The only country that replied was Scotland, and Craig Brown was the manager. Now, I was a Scottish coach and worked, and I was still young at the time, and they invited me to come and watch training in Scotland. None of the other teams did. But my wife...”

“We had to opt to pew the mortgage when we were together, we were there. So it was very much together at the start how we could sort of have a family, how we could work together. And I remember saying to her, I said, I might need to be a football coach. And I remember when we were courting, I said, look, I'll need to go to coaching courses. I might not be here. I want to try and go and see how it does. And remember saying, no problem, you go and do what you have to do. And if I wasn't given that freedom in the early years to say, I'm going coaching courses, I mean, I went out to see Ancelotti at AC Milan. I went to the World Cup.”

“Well, it's the sort of thing you ask that question, you'd probably get emotional if you start saying that. So I'm going to say that before I start. Look, my wife has been unbelievable towards me because I remember when we were young, I believe we said, we didn't earn great money. I wasn't a hugely wealthy footballer when I was getting paid, but I wanted to play football and would have taken away. So Pamela worked as well.”

“I'd want you to be hardworking I want you to be honest in your endeavour. I'd want you to do your jobs, whatever you want. I want you to be a team player Individuals are really important and no more hugely important we've just seen in the World Cup individuals but I do think that I think Have a consistency about your team is you need to have a team. I think if you've got individuals, you might get inconsistency, but you might get some really good days and may get Cobs who can afford to carry one or two individual players who go along. But I think while you're trying to build, I think you have to start with a really solid base, good foundation. And then from that point, you try and grow.”

“Leicester in the year they had was probably what we're all hoping for whether it be us. You're seeing other cubs. I mean, actually Newcastle United, for example. Newcastle United bought a couple of respects three or four English players last January, British players Probably not necessarily on the radar of the biggest clubs in the country. And they've turned around and they've had a great incredible momentum from probably January last year, maybe just before January. And are keeping that momentum going. And now they're bringing in they're adding in the odd bigger star or the bigger player as they go along. But I thought their business at the start was very good.”

“The expectation. All the excitement on the new players coming in. I get this all the time, and I say this quite a lot to people I hear in media, you know, talking about, oh, you need to buy new players, no, we buy new players. And I would really like football to be where money was not always going to be the key to it. Now, we think the more players, the more money you spend, means that you win the league or you're successful. And look, I think it probably will prove that it is. But I'd rather see that sometimes that it's not that way. And I just do think that quite often, you know, not buying all the top... People who've got good characters and people who are going to work hard for the team.”

“We've all failed, yeah. So there is something about Manchester United had their own way, but because of the competition which came in from Manchester City, Chelsea probably more in the earlier years, I think those two cops. I think Liverpool have had an incredible peering, got a really good manager as well and top players. I think over the year, Man United and Liverpool have always had a level of competition against each other.”

“Think Manchester United different principles than most of the other COPs. Looked at their use a lot Always sign maybe the, as I said before, maybe the top. Always sort of picked and picked out good players who improved. And now I again went and bought a canton every so often or Van Nistelrooy or Van Percy at different times So at different times they bought really good players at good times.”

“Look, I get huge respect for Josie Marino, huge respect for Louis Van Gaal. You know, all he was new and is one of Manchester United's own. So he's always going to be given every opportunity to try and make it work as well. So I think there's been some great managers going into Manchester United. I think the biggest problem for Manchester United is Manchester City.”

“Yeah, near enough to an extent what you're saying is not I can't folks say do you bring your work home? I really think if you're in. You're in the boss, if you're the boss, you're always bringing your work home because you're not just taking, putting your head off and saying, I'm leaving that in the office and I'll pick it up in the morning. I think very rarely you're doing that. I think that's just life. If you're a CEO or a boss.”

“The other part of the 10 or 11 years I'd seen some great players I had been in FE Cup finals, I'd got to quarterfinals, a European competition wherever, and we'd qualify for the Champions League one year. So I was thinking as well, was I going to make, say, that was all no good, then the years would have done it. So I think once I put it in perspective, then I says, no, I'm not doubting it. But what I do think is... I think most days you have to get up and be ready to sort of challenge yourself every day. I don't think you can get out of bed every morning and think, hey, this is fine. You know, I'm doing okay here. I think every day you're sort of getting up and saying, how am I going to try and be better? How can I make people better? How can I make a difference today with what I've got?”

“By my pause might make you think yes, but I didn't doubt that I was actually, I felt that I could do the job. I could be good at it. I felt as if my work on the grass was good enough to... For where I had been, I had success years before. So I was always trying to say it didn't go quite well this 10 months, why did it not go well? Was it how I managed? Was it how I coached? Was it maybe I didn't have the right players? I had to try and look to see what there is.”

“And I thought maybe by the time I get to the ageing over a thousand games, I'll be saying to myself, this is going to be much, much feel, much easier. Not at all. Just as bad. I'm not saying I'm going home every night I lose now and pulling the curtains and going straight to bed, but it's to just sort of tell you how the game is. The game is actually nearly completely how important the winning going back to, I said where the upbringing was where find a way of winning win means that I have more good Saturday night feelings than I do going home and pulling the curtains and going straight to bed.”

“I'd come home and say, Come on, let's get ready, let's nip up to the restaurant and we'll get a bit of dinner and a couple of glasses of wine. And I used to always call the Saturday night feeling, I'm desperate to get that Saturday night feeling. I'm desperate to have that feeling when you've won on a Saturday knowing that mainly on the Sunday you're picking up the newspapers and the newspapers are saying you've won and you're going well.”

“The kids aren't part of it, and actually, I do think many, many times I think myself is, you know, do people understand it, we'll get a family, you know, I made this the other day as I was saying to a friend, I was saying, as a manager, I think as you get older, you know, in business, you get older, you think you get more experienced and you're, you know, doesn't make it any better. When I was a young manager, if I lost the game, Would come home Straight to my bed, pull the curtains, and not wake up to Sunday morning, no trying, and I might not sleep, I just didn't really want any, I didn't have any, I didn't really talk with my wife too much, I didn't really talk with my kids, I wasn't unpleasant. I just wanted to be on my own, done that. The opposite then was if you won on a Saturday.”

“Well, I have to say, you know, and it's look, I don't think I only a week after I lost the man United job, my dad had a heart attack. Yeah, and it was a triple bypass. So I'm not saying it was because when I left Manchester United, but that was the case. And who knows? Who knows if it would then we don't really think that was the reason behind it. We think it was just coming on. There is tolls that get taken in families. Of course there is. But thankfully my dad's doing well and still going well just now.”

“Whatever music it was, and they come on and use it, and they were talking about me on that news as well. I thought, oh my goodness, is this ever going to end? Is there a channel that isn't talking about Manchester United in some way? But that was because it was getting closer to probably when I wasn't doing so well. And there was a lot of talk about it. I think you just have to find a way of shutting yourself off from it the best you can. But the world we're in now for young coaches of social media, if that's what your world is or how you present yourself, it's much different now. Days gone”

“Yeah, I'm someone who sleeps really well, to be honest. But I do think that Very difficult when you lose your job in our business, you're talked about a lot, so you have to accept it. And I'm part of it. You will be as well. Or if things go wrong or any of your businesses fail, you'll be current. People will have criticism. But I think if you're going to go into football management, then you have to find a way of saying how to deal with it. How am I coping with it? What's my mechanism? I remember thinking when things weren't going so well at Manchester United, you know, I'd be driving into training. So I couldn't put on talk sport. I couldn't put on Radio 2. I couldn't put the Bertalk. So I thought I'll put on.”

“I think the toll for someone who cares deeply about their profession and wants to be successful and wants to do well the toll for me personally at the time felt big. It really did. And it probably took me a wee bit to get back on the road a little bit without thinking about I worked really after I lost the job I said well I'm going to have to go and try and reinvent, find out more new things, keep current. Where can I go to find out what's going on? And I obviously couldn't go back to old Trafford to watch a game where I couldn't really go back to Goodison and watch the game. So it made it quite difficult. I found myself doing quite a bit of work for UF. I'd done all the Champions League games, which was a really good day and I spoke and all the pro license courses for the coaches which kept me current and having to keep up to date with things. So those type of things kept me keep my education and kept my knowledge and kept me going a bit.”

“But I've got to say it's a bit like my mum used to just say, hey, whatever happens, you just have to get up and get on with it. You know, you get on with it, you take it in the chin and you got away and, you know, sort of sticks and stones, don't worry too much about it. But you're right. When your manager of Manchester United, you're talked about in every continent, every country, you'll either be in the front of the back page, just one of the papers. But that's also the privilege of being a manager of Manchester United as well.”

“I think personally you're a little bit ashamed because you've not done well. You know, you've not done well for your family. Think personally I felt I'd let them all down because I had really worked, like I said, if nobody, probably the hours and the work I'd put in as a young, I didn't believe I was ever going to be a coach, never mind the coach of Manchester United, but the hours of work I'd put in had got me to a level where I'd worked and I'd done an awful lot of hard work behind the scenes over the years. then to lose it so quickly. So you get a job. And I said at that time I had two or three really, really big clubs who were talking about me and speaking to me. But when Sir Alex came and made me the offer, it was very hard to say no. And then for that to go very quickly. So it was a bit like getting to the top of Everest and then actually starting to decline very quickly. So from my point of view, it was hard getting home. You know, it was difficult.”

“Media fallin' me, yeah, lost a couple of gates, it lost the game at Everton actually, and the media were saying, oh, no, you're losing your job. Know, I tried to make contact and say, Look, why don't we meet up? You think you're going to, it didn't suit him before I knew they called me in the day after. And by this time, the whole world had known about it before I'd sort of get to know it. So sometimes I think people want to get it done right and I just didn't feel it was right. But anyway, from my point of view, I generally don't have any real, I don't have a gripe about it because the industry I'm in. Means that this can happen quite often and you don't get things done the way you want it, and you have to live with it, and that's the way it is.”

You know, that's the way it is when you're, you know, you're in an industry or you do that. But I still think that I think if you're the biggest, one of the biggest sport businesses in the world, if not the biggest, you would hope that you would do things correctly like David Gill would send speak and say hello to them or Light they would send a birthday card. The same should happen if you were telling somebody that you were you were stop number, you were sacking them or you're getting rid of them you would hope that they would do it the best way they could”

“Sort of coarseness to them in still building up relationship. So I think there was a lot of that and it made it difficult. But the thing I look back at business and you're a very successful businessman, always think You have to give bad news well. Because you're the boss And you run a really big business like Manchester United did. And I think if you've got any class or any style Good when you get off the job and you give them when you give them all and you talk about all this stuff. But I think when you're having to give bad news out, I think giving bad news has to be done in a good way as well. And I felt the way that I was told at the time at Manchester United wasn't done as well as it should have been done.”

“Yeah, I do a bit because I feel that I think You're putting in a new manager, you're hoping that you're going to give them. Look, I left a very stable job in a very good environment to come and do it. And obviously, I think when we look back, you would say, hey, there was a huge change going to have to take place at Manchester United after Sir Alex. And maybe ideally, I think it was we were going to try and make it seamless where there wasn't going to be too big a change. But there was a lot of players changing. Get to an age where they were having to move on. There was actually a big squad of players who had been incredibly loyal to Sir Alex and suddenly they've got a new manager coming in the door. Maybe not playing them as much, so they don't have quite the same”

“They were always correcting. And when you think of values of what it means to be at the top and what the small things which matter, those things really matter. But for me, I was taking over the club. I'd lost David Gill, who I knew very well from different things and working with him at UEFA and different things as well. And he was a huge, huge miss. That wasn't to say that the new CEO wasn't, he was to be given every chance and I wanted to help him and he wanted to help me ultimately it didn't work that way.”

“Well, I don't think it would ever be in a role as a manager, that's for sure. So my time's gone. Know if ever I always love to be involved in football and I hopefully somewhere along the line someone will want to use my experience when my time's up with being a football manager but Manchester United is a great experience and I found it difficult to sort of have something which could sort of I don't know how I would sort of put over what it meant. And the only way I could put it out is I think when you manage Man United, it's like living in the penthouse and looking out. And until you've hit the penthouse and you're looking out and you're above everybody and you're looking over, you see the view much better. And for me they were the penthouse.”

Of course I have to change it. It's not Ceramics, it's me and I have to do it my way and I have to try and do it a little bit. But ultimately, I was going to keep it going. But then when I look back at the things that I heard, I thought, my goodness, if I'd looked a bit closer. And maybe even now, I'm a bit older now than I was when I got the job. Maybe, maybe. Maybe even I needed even more experience than maybe even I had it at that point. Maybe we'd be more ready at this period in my career than I was even say no, don't know what it was eight or nine years ago whenever it was.”

“I'll tell you who told me was Howard Wilkinson said to me down the line, I wish you'd told me before, he says. All the managers who had a dynasty.

And also that their values were, no, they played young players man United. I always thought Man United never went out and tried to buy the best in the market. They never went to the designer shop to buy the best thing in the designer shop. They bought correctly. They bought young players.
