was another disappointing dismal really. Some people are
calling it display, Tim from Manchester United, your old
club. We want to talk this morning about the direction in
which they're going. They're making no
secret of the fact that they're starting to interview. The
likes of Eric 10 Hogwarts Harry Potter. Tina also on their
radar for the new manager rag. Nick is trying to take them
into the top four, which is looking more unlikely by
the week. John murtha is director of
football. So for you right now,
it's Manchester United going in the right direction.
Erection.
Not as of yet because I don't think we have any proof of
that. You know, when I look at United there so far, they're
miles away from competing for a title. And having
the consistency that the likes of Liverpool
and Manchester City have shown.
I think they need to Humble themselves. You know, there was
so long, probably even, even after Charles Ferguson left
a couple of years where they could just say you, you want to
come play for us. This is the red shirt. You want to pull it
on
and that happened.
The best footballers in the world did that they wanted to
go and managers,
but that's not the case anymore. They Been overtaken by
the players with Arsenal. They want to go to Chelsea. We're
going to Liverpool and then see that, I mean, probably fifth in
the pecking order and that's crazy to think because never
been the case
in English football. So
I think they need to Humble themselves.
Forget about the title
internally start to figure out what their project and their
plan looks like. And that looks like a director of football and
bringing in the right manager. As I said, with the players
that have come to mention that, I also believe it, man,
Manchester, and I should go get the manager they want. If they
have to pay over the odds, pay over the odds. But get
the manager in that they want to see there for the next decade
in a nutshell. What's a city in Liverpool? Have
that Manchester United. Don't
the best in class in the two positions that you need on
the football side of any football club, director of football,
Best in Class and head coach.
All the other so-called top six, teams are above United
right now. So quickly going down the list, but gerstein and
Pep Guardiola, Man, City,
like proven in those roles,
Michael Edwards and Jurgen klopp,
that's been built together over the last It for years,
tremendous recruitment, great manager, of course newer. But
Fabio parity Checker, and Antonio. Conte experienced
a teacher. They've worked together before. Things are
going in the right direction and also Arsenal, again, newer
less experienced at are due and
seta arteta, but that's what I'm getting at. Unless you've
got the best in class in those positions particular, when you
Manchester United Team, you've got the,
you've got the history and got the finances, buying the club.
They've got a John mutter
and went through the edit. You know me. Um, Everton Academy,
United Academy United development. Now, he's in this
huge important role
and they've got an interim manager right now. So that
decision was made and you can go back and we can talk about
getting managers team and players are, don't want to come
here anymore and go and get the right guy. Unless you've got
both positions in place
that it's not going to work out. They've had good managers.
Rebecca. They've had top managers over the last, what
decade almost and none of them have worked and I'd say it's
because the other side is not good enough. They're not
connected
at would have made poor decisions with extending
contracts. I won't go into the details. But that is the key to
answer your question. That's why their Sixth and not
challenging for the top and touch on your point there.
When I say the word humble - humble themselves,
the arrogance that they've shown, you talked about
the director of football and the coaches.
Very rarely. Do I look at Liverpool or Arsenal, or
Chelsea, or Man City getting recruitment wrong? Right man,
united have spent the money.
They got Sancho. They went and got renauld. They spent
the money, but it's kind of been willy-nilly. There's been no
plan and that's why. When we look at me. Man united.
Everyone talks about them being
a collective group of individuals. Yes. That's what they are.
Okay. So John mirta have they got that side of it, right, you
know, him from your days at Everton. Tell us whether he has
the credentials to be director of football. At one of
the biggest clubs in the world, these words as well because,
you know, we was in Youth Development and recruitment at
Everton
and he did the same at United and he's obviously worked his
way up to do that. I don't know. When you say, does he
have the credentials? He hasn't proven that yet. This is his
first opportunity to make a splash and name, the right
manager and worked alongside them.
Again, we don't know because
real fragment has apparently. We've been told that he's going
to go upstairs after the season, possibly and and be
a consultant. So, is it, is that what rolled where does he fit
in in the hierarchy?
Yeah, the whole roof rack. That thing is incredibly confusing.
I'm not sure anyone knows whether or not, he's going to
stay at the club in what capacity. But what manager do
you think? Because they're not gonna get rid of John murder.
He is now director of football
early days in his career
there. So which manager 10 hog will work better with him or
Porsche Tina. Well,
this is a great question and
My manager choice is different because of John mirta.
I think Richard patino is the man to go in there to work with
at Myrtle work with him. I think he's got more experience.
He's more demanding. I think he needs that to be for the set of
the football club because, you know, I don't know if I trust
mer
to say, don't worry about it coach.
I'll get all the recruitment side of things. Right? But your
T know, I think will be more demanding character. And hog is
is less experienced that a club at this size. Now, if it was
somebody else's director of football like a rough ride
Nick,
then I quite like the idea of of 10 hardcore like, is this,
this somebody's going to be great. You've got
an experienced football guy in drag, Nick. That can build and
work with
10 hog, but that's not the case.
So patino for me, would be better fit.
Yeah. I'm huge part of, you know, fans just because of his
experience in the Premier League. Okay. Well it moment
they haven't interviewed him. They've only interviewed Eric
10 hog, according to reports coming out of Old Trafford.
