the news that Eric 10 hog is going to be appointed. We
believe in the coming days as the new Manchester United
manager to start this summer. Tim. That's where I have to
start with you at the weekend. I asked you who you would have
appointed. You said Maurizio party, know it looks like it's
going to be ten
hog. So for you, is that the wrong appointment?
No, I it's not the wrong appointment. I liked watching
Tina because of his experience. He's a good manager, but
because of his experience in the Premier League with
Tottenham, so he knows the league. I don't think it's
the wrong.
Appointment, I know rag, Nick. Like both managers. He likes 10
hog.
My worry is that most of all of his experience has been in
Dutch Football and
the Premier League in Manchester United is
a completely different Beast than iac's.
He plays a good style of football. It. It's it, mimics
the Manchester United Way, it's on the front foot passing
forward playing through the lines.
That part about it is good. I just worry
about the experience. I worry that
he's talked about. There's been rumors and reports about
Being A Five-Year Plan,
that's really. But since Fergie,
no one's even gotten three years. And so
that to me is a worry. If they can if they can mimic what
Arsenal is done with Miguel arteta and said here, we're
going to do it your way. You have a plan. We're going to
allow you to get on with that. Brilliant. That would be great.
But that hasn't been the way from interesting.
Timmy mentioned is experience. This is what's interesting?
Danny the resume I acts right now. Yes, it's 2017. Before
that Utrecht. Go ahead, Eagles PSV, assistant manager. 20 when
he was assistant to Steve McClaren. He's also been at
Bayern Munich to as well.
There's no Big, big Club, other than PSV as an assistant, but
this is Manchester United as the manager you concerned.
I would have been concerned, whether was made manager. You
can go and get the best manager in the world at the moment.
They're not going to change things at that club. That's,
that's my biggest issue when it comes to Manchester United,
because at the moment,
any manager that goes into that club
doesn't have the tools required that top clubs have.
There's an arrogance behind the scenes. The question is,
do the people behind the scenes.
I'll allow their arrogance to drop.
Because at the moment, they're like, if you don't do
the Manchester United Way, then we're not going to bring you
into the club. That's my concern. Tim's, quite right
saying about the five-year process. It is a rebuild.
He rebuilt teams at IX and did successfully well with that
having lost top players, but my concern is it's a lot deeper
than that behind the scenes. If they don't change things,
you can have clop, you can have Guardiola, you can have to
call. You can have content, you can get your best manager in
the world and things will not change at that, football club.
And that is the biggest thing regardless. Of who the manager
is a great. Mm.
Yeah. And one of the things that you bring up,
I think about clop into
anything about arteta.
They have gone into football clubs and said, be quiet, doing
it my way hush the noise at Manchester United rightfully.
So there's a lot of X players who had some of the biggest
moments in that club's history during the
treble-winning years during the 1990s
who are in the media who have big voices,
the fans follow those opinions, right? And so when some of
these players come out and again, I said rightfully, so
they're allowed to have an opinion. The fans.
And then they put tons of pressure on the manager.
Manchester. I didn't manager who goes, I don't care about
the noise. I don't care about all that. I'm going to do it my
way. There's a plan in a process. We're going to have
little wins over an incremental amount of time, and then we're
going to be successful.
That's what Clark did Liverpool's are. Massive
football club as well. And he said, forget the history. We're
going to write our own history looking back that not 100%, but
I think it goes back to behind the scenes. You have to
prioritize.
You. Look at Manchester City. You look a little pale, you
look at the dominant clubs in Europe. At the moment. They
prioritize what goes on on the pitch. Man shushing I don't for
me there a club at this specific moment. They finish in
the top four.
They're happy. They're not bothered about about
the trophies because the finances are still coming in.
If you look at Manchester United for recent history, they
only spend big money more often than not when they finished
outside the top four. That's not team that wants to have
success. So,
in order for Manchester United to try and get back where they
want to be, which there are a long way away from, they have
to change their way of thinking and it has to change from
Manchester United Business Club back to Manchester United
Football Club.
What Louis van Gaal actually said.
I think just last week to 10 hog via the media.
Don't take this job. If you want a football job because
this is a commercial property. You said a business not
a football club right now, while we expect an announcement in
the coming days. As I say, there are 10, hog will be
the new Manchester United manager.
