Jack WilshereGUEST
[laughs] As long as it didn't hit the players.
David OrnsteinHOST
It was like Fergie with the boot that hit Beckenbauer.
Jack WilshereGUEST
Yeah, it weren't that bad.
Jack WilshereGUEST
It weren't that bad.
Gordon HillGUEST
I wanna see attacking football.
Gordon HillGUEST
And the doc used to say, "I don't mind them scoring two as long as we score three." And make su- uh, but, but the attacking style has been, Fergie got that through.
Gordon HillGUEST
He was hard.
Gordon HillGUEST
He was firm.
John BrewinHOST
Uh, I mean, one of the good things about that was Ashley Young and Wayne Rooney's rage at him actually doing this, at like digging out the rest of the colleagues.
John BrewinHOST
But I seem to remember Wayne Rooney doing something similar 10 or 15 years ago, talking about Manchester United's lack of ambition quite publicly and getting a, a Fergie sort of hitch slap for that.
John BrewinHOST
And so yeah, what goes around comes around a little bit on that one.
Jack Pitt-BrookeHOST
I guess the issue for Li- Lisandro is that if last season taught us anything, it's that if you come for Jason Wilcox, you best not miss.
John BrewinHOST
Mixed zone king
Rory SmithHOST
...
Rory SmithHOST
There was a period in a pl- as, when he was a player, John, when it felt sometimes like Fergie was, was picking him so he could do the mixed zone
John BrewinHOST
zoneThat he was mindful to go out and talk afterwards
Jay MottyHOST
They beat Leeds, that's it.
Jay MottyHOST
So they beat Leeds, and Fergie, ahead of the game, had said that Leeds basically wouldn't try because they're United.
Stephen HowsonHOST
[laughs]
Jay MottyHOST
Right? Mind games.
Jay MottyHOST
Fergie invented the mind games, by the way.
Jay MottyHOST
Any mind games you see, you don't even see 'em now.
Jay MottyHOST
All managers hug each other and love each other.
Stephen HowsonHOST
Yeah.
Alex CrookHOST
But for this game, if he's not fit, if his head is not right, I think Michael Carrick, for the good of the team, needs to make the call and take out his captain.
Alex CrookHOST
It reminds me of when Fergie did it with David Beckham.
Alex CrookHOST
I think it was the treble winning year.
Alex CrookHOST
They went to Ellen Road, and he was actually watching in the stands that day, David Beckham, because they'd had a bit of a disagreement off the pitch.
Alex CrookHOST
And sometimes by taking a player out of the team, you put a bit of fire in their belly.
Alex CrookHOST
Beckham again, Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Alex CrookHOST
Remember that game when Fergie left him on the bench? I know he got knocked out of Europe, but Beckham came off the bench and was absolutely brilliant.
Alex CrookHOST
He tore Real Madrid apart because he had a point to prove.
Robbie SlaterGUEST
You know, they could be the dis- disasters this year.
Robbie SlaterGUEST
When, you know, history tells you if you go back to the era of Fergie against Wenger, when both of them left-
Adam PeacockHOST
Mm
Robbie SlaterGUEST
...
Scarlet Katz RobertsHOST
They've bought They've got a new owner in Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos.
Scarlet Katz RobertsHOST
And still, however many years on from Fergie's departure, they just cannot get it together.
Scarlet Katz RobertsHOST
They have an unbelievable amount of soft power in football.
Scarlet Katz RobertsHOST
But I suppose the frustration is if you're a player at Man United is you're probably attracted by that.
Graeme SounessGUEST
You know, and they're, they're ...
Graeme SounessGUEST
And then latterly Fergie.
Graeme SounessGUEST
I learned, sort of year with Fergie as a Scotland, when he was a Scotland coach.
Graeme SounessGUEST
So I, I, I think I've had a really, really good, um, education.
Graeme SounessGUEST
And I still, I look at the way people talk about football now, the pundits, um, coaches, some coaches, not all of them, and it's a lot of gobbledygook in my opinion.
10 MINS LATER
Graeme SounessGUEST
It's all, it's black and white 'cause it's there with a stopwatch.
Graeme SounessGUEST
It's, it's, it's not, it's not how I see football, and I come back to it.
Graeme SounessGUEST
If you want, who's been the most successful manager? Fergie.
Adam PeacockHOST
But look, Sir Alex Ferguson ended his tenure in 2013.
Adam PeacockHOST
I'll peel off the list of permanent managers since Fergie went.
Adam PeacockHOST
And won the title.
Adam PeacockHOST
Haven't won a title since Manchester United.
7 MINS LATER
Adam PeacockHOST
Old Trafford or Shark Park? Pick one.
Adam PeacockHOST
Forestville, Matt.
Adam PeacockHOST
Adam, I know he has beef with Fergie, but is there a growing push for Roy Keane at United? The fans definitely want to give him a shot.
Adam PeacockHOST
That cannot happen.
DangerHOST
Yeah.
WaleHOST
It would be the equivalent of, like, if Rio Ferdinand said the same thing during the Fergie era.
DangerHOST
Yeah.
WaleHOST
If they had been going through a stretch like this, ooh, it will run all the news-
