0:58It was almost like he was shaking hands with Van Dyke and almost getting them all. You know when... I was getting angry with him. Why? As the game went on. The reason I sort of said they've got to step up now was because I was getting angrier with the fact that... Thomas Frank's just been sacked. Oh, wow. Kieran, you just dropped that. Grim Reaper over my shoulder like that. It's going to frighten me. We're going to be letting a secret out of the hat here a little bit, aren't we? Because we film two records in one day, but I've just had a thing in me here. Our guest this week is Ange Postacoglu.

1:31He's just pulled out. No. No, he was supposed to come on obviously later to go on for next week but because of what's just happened he's happy to come in here and have a chat about the situation at Tottenham. So should we get him in then? Ange, in you come. Ange, in you come. Mid flow. Got timing, Ange. Got timing, eh? How are you? Good to see you. You're too late. Good to see you. Ange, good to see you. Hi, Andy. Wow. You're all right. Nice to see you. Hey, mate. Good night. Hey, mate. Yeah, good, mate. You? Good. Thank you. That was a good time. Yeah. How are you, Andrews? I'm all right. I'm all right.

2:09Wow. Yeah, I know. I was driving up and I got a message. Yeah. Was he from the Tottenham board, was he? No. I mean, look, Andrews, I think the first question... The tea would be great. Thank you, bud. First question really is obviously about Thomas Frank. You'll have managed against him. You've spoke to him probably a few times, many times. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are your thoughts in terms of initial thoughts? Look, it's always, having been in that position now twice in the last sort of six months, it's tough. It's tough. And you know that he can't be the only issue at the club, right? And that's probably for every manager, but ultimately that's what we get judged on.

2:51but you know it goes back to me it's a curious club Tottenham you know it's made a major pivot at the end of last year not just with me but with Daniel leaving as well and you've created this whole sort of environment of uncertainty because there's no guarantees it doesn't matter which manager you bring in I mean they've had world-class managers there they haven't had success And for what reason? What was the reason for such a major pivot? So Thomas is walking in and what's his objective? What's the club's objective? At the start of the year they sort of said compete on all fronts. Well, the club hasn't competed on all fronts for a very long time.

3:37And you're also the most influential person at the club for the last 20 years is also going. So if you're going to do such a major pivot, then you've got to understand there's going to be some instability there. Now, did Thomas know he was walking into that? I don't know. And it's a fair departure for me. I mean, anyone who kind of studies the game will know that it wasn't like it was a progression for me. I built that sort of squad for want of a better term, to play a certain way over the last couple of years. And he's sort of coming in and, like I said, there's always... So it's a curious club topic, mate.

4:15What do you mean by curious, Andy, in the sense that we've just discussed it before. We've talked about yourself, you know, Conte, Mourinho, Pochettino, Nuno, Thomas Frank now. There is an absolute sort of convoy of managers with great reputations who have walked into that football club and can't about turn the... Only one won something, though.

4:50Which club's coming for you at that time around the point where you go to Real Madrid? Who wants you? Who bids for you? United and Madrid were the two. Did you talk to United at that point as well? I didn't. No, yeah, I did talk to United, yeah. David Mize? Yeah. They actually bid more than Real Madrid. Because that was the big signing win. Sir Alex Ferguson left. Yeah. Ed Woodward famously goes back from the tour. I think it's in Australia to say, we're signing Bale and Fabregas. Obviously, for me going, knowing they're not going to sign those, I'm like, well, who are you signing? And it's like, well, I'm not going to go.

5:21So you were never going to United? No. Who did you speak to at the club at the time? I spoke with David Moyes. And with Edward Wood, or not? No, I didn't speak to him. Maybe my agent or whatever did. But I spoke with David Moyes. But my heart was set on Madrid anyway. And I had something in place with Daniel Levy, more of a gentleman's agreement just to be like, because he didn't want to sell me to a rival also. I don't want to strengthen another team. So if a team did come in from Spain, Italy, wherever, Germany, wherever it may be, that... He wanted you to go there. I could potentially go, because if we didn't qualify for the Champions League, which we didn't, I was then able to go there.

5:55So we had that gentleman's agreement, even though he made it very tough. Like he does. He always does. If you didn't get in the Champions League, you could leave. No, but it was a gentleman's agreement, so it was more just that, yeah. But he stayed true to his words. so financially was Manchester United offering similar money to Madrid he wanted to go to Madrid he didn't actually I should have been a little bit deeper because this guy turned down Man United twice right I mean I need to get to the bottom of that you've done alright though actually well done I think I chose the right one from the last well it was 12 years I didn't go down the wages route with United I didn't go that far they offered more money to buy me and a player but I didn't I didn't really get any legs to be honest no so nice again chose right can we just

6:49Stick to Football Hosts: no no I'm not sure can we put it it's great for a player if you know where you want to go if you don't I don't think you're good options sometimes people go to four, five, six clubs but you go nah I'm going there and that's yeah and I had my heart set on it so once I spoke to them they reserved the number 11 I spoke with numerous people at the club I knew Modric the year before who went there which obviously helped me knowing that I've got somebody at least I can just kind of be with I guess because you go to a new club it's like who's your mates you've got mates Was he good like that? Was he good for you?

7:18Yeah and he was great for me so yeah and he's the player I played with most of my career which is not bad Yes, yes

7:32Stick to Football Hosts: Do you not do games anymore Scolzi? No Have you stopped doing it? Why Scolzi? games running up? No. You did Champions League didn't you with Kaz quite a bit last season? Yeah I did last year. I just made a decision this year because of Aidan. Obviously special needs and stuff that you'll probably know about. All the work I do now is just around his routines because he has quite a strict routine every single day so I just decided everything I'm going to do is around Aidan. I think people don't realise the punditry sorry that you do travel a bit don't you if you're travelling up and down to London and you're away for one or two years.

8:09Well, a lot of the stuff I was doing was in the studio, I was on, I should be in the Manchester City, London all the time. Right. Scors, you might not want to talk about this, but your routine that you follow, Drew, because if I say to you sometimes, like about a meeting, say, on a certain day, you say, no, that's absolutely, I can't do it that day. What is your routine a week that you follow around, Aidan?

8:28Well, me and Claire, obviously, are not together anymore, so we're having three nights each, and Claire's mum has him on a Friday night, but we'll always do the same things with him. Right. And he doesn't understand, he won't know what day of the week it is. He won't know what time it is, but he'll know from what we're doing, what day it is. So I pick him up every Tuesday from his daycare place that he goes to for four hours and we go swimming. He loves swimming. Loves it, yeah. Loves it. So we're going to Pearl for two hours. We'll go home, have his pizza on the way home. So that he knows every single day something different.

9:04Thursday I pick him up, we'll go for something to eat, then go home. on a Sunday I'll pick him up from Clare's house we'll go to Tesco, he buys a fucking trolley full of chocolate so he doesn't know what a day is, he doesn't know what a time is he only knows from what we're doing I think obviously it's a lot of like that did actually scare us to be fair but obviously you share bits of your week on social media I think I always comment on your videos and stuff, but is that important for you to, like, is there a reason, like raising awareness or...? Do you know, I started doing that. He's obviously non-verbal.

9:46Well, can't speak. When I say he can't speak, I think he understands a lot more than we think. If you say something to him, he will understand it. And he has, like, sounds, but it's only, like, people who are close to him will know what he's saying. What's it called? Autism. Or just autism. But it's like a really severe... It's obviously autism where you can go to school normally and all that kind of stuff. I didn't think we were going down this road, by the way. Do you know what I mean? No, yeah. I did it one or two times, and I only showed the good bits of it to some people that aren't great.

10:20And it was just the response he had from people, you know, parents with the same trouble, the amount of people saying, God, that helps us, we've got a kid who's just the same, or something like that. So that's what I just carried on doing.

10:32Stick to Football Hosts: That's nice to have a bit of normality as well. Yeah, to do stuff that all the kids are doing. Do people ask you about it? Do they get in touch with you and say, you know, like, what do you do? Yeah, all the time. Do you make it really public that you don't mind speaking about it? No, do you? No, and I will reply to people on Instagram, it is a bit well. Because it's kind of hard. Do you know what I mean? Especially when they're young, because there's the harm and there's the attacking people. And I only put the nice stuff on. there's so many things that I do sometimes think about putting this off on where he's not too happy when he might go, he might try and bite he might scratch it, I do think about it but then I think, is that probably not the right thing to do I used to sit next to you in the dressing room didn't I and I remember there were times towards the end you'd come in and you'd have you'd have scratches all over your face and you'd sort of smirk in there but you would be and I'd say, everything alright you'd say yeah and you might be, a haircut or it was something that basically, like, bite your arm and stuff and scratch you just because...

11:37And it was simply frustration for him because he just didn't understand things. Couldn't tell you how he was feeling. Would the football give you, like, a break from that? When you played, is it something that... No, it was never... You never got a break from it. Right. No. It was very hard in those days. In those days, I suppose, like it was years ago. So I don't think they diagnosed it until they were like two and a half.

12:02Stick to Football Hosts: Right. But you knew there was something wrong, but you just don't know. I suppose when you get to the diagnosis of autism and you'd never heard of it, but then all of a sudden you start seeing everything. I don't know if it's just subconsciously that happens or what, I don't know. But no, you never get... I remember being told about it the first time. I think we played Derby away. I just didn't want to be there. I remember the man had to drop me the week after actually and I hadn't told anybody I ended up telling him a few weeks later I think it was quite hard and he he left me out I'm just leaving you out because you weren't very good last week and I just didn't want to be there we didn't really know what was in store for us some kids who don't speak at one and a half, two years of age all of a sudden you get to five or six bang they're speaking, everything's right call it like a late development thing.

12:57But we just knew that it was never going to be like that. When you were at United, was there anyone that you did speak to or were you kind of the kind of character that would keep things to yourself? No, I don't think so. I didn't speak to anybody, I don't think. I think, to be fair, you kept everything to yourself, didn't you? It's very difficult to get inside. No, just generally, forget what you're talking about now, but generally you're very private. No-one really knows what Paul's... We didn't really know what you were doing away from me. obviously we go out with you at times but I think even you'll know Roy from playing with schools everything you kept to yourself in your life that's the way you are Yeah and I would do now really unless somebody asked me about something then I would never like you don't want any sympathy or anything do you know what I mean

13:40Stick to Football Hosts: That's why dress rooms are strange different dynamics people are going through different challenges and you just you are expected to turn up and you never know unfortunately of course nobody knows unless sometimes obviously the manager might know but the other players might be going and you do you get dragged along with it a little bit in a good way, but all the time you're thinking it'd be nice to bounce something off somebody that you might be going through, but unfortunately a top-level sport, there's an element of like... I was never lying, I even thought if I did speak to somebody, it's not going to help me.

14:08Do you know what I mean? It'd have helped you. It'd have helped you. I don't think it would. I don't know what would help me. The big concern, obviously, now, because you're getting a bit older, 50 years of age, he's 20, what happens when you're not here? That's the thing that's on my mind now all the time. Don't look that far out of the goalie, man.

14:26Stick to Football Hosts: Day at a time. Serious. We all look too far ahead. Yeah, but we're talking about scenarios. I know, but it's the same principles. If it hadn't been talking about it, I wouldn't have thought about it. But there are certain times of the week where... Fucking hell.

14:45The last time you came on here, we asked you what your biggest ambition left was and basically you went on and did it.

14:53Stick to Football Hosts: Yeah. the Masters which is just the incredible tournament just talk to us about that and how big a moment that was for you how did you sleep the night after you must have slept well can I do one thing first though from the Masters I came here with a peace offering peace offering just to clear any well done Rory you're the bigger man Rory nice one got some cash for me no this is a flag from the Masters wow wow see I've got to be nasty We have to abuse you to get one, Rory. Let me see. That's so lovely. Oh, wow. That's so lovely. That's amazing. That is amazing. I can't say I'm not jealous. Everyone else, you're all going to get one.

15:37Nice, Rory. That's fine, is it? What's it say, Rory? That's incredible. Read out, Ian. OK, thanks for all the great memories watching United over the years. Rory McIlroy, Masters champion and extraordinary player of golf ever, ever to live. Nah, I don't know. I don't like that. Brilliant. That's not brilliant. Thank you. You know what, Rory, with the Masters, because obviously I watched it from the start to the finish and obviously that last day, I can't imagine how you would have felt waking up that day because it could happen this day. So what are you thinking when you wake up there? Because you know all the talk about the Masters.

16:15Can he do it? The Grand Slam. Look, it felt like it was then or never. and it probably wasn't even if I didn't go on to win but it would have been one more bad memory and more scar tissue building up there for me and trying to do something for so long so my best chance was 14 years ago in 2011 and I've been close since I've finished second I've played in final groups but I've just never been able to quite figure it out. Was there anything on this day that made you think, wow, this might be it? I felt like I was playing as good as I ever have. I was confident. I came in to the Masters. I'd won two big events leading up to it.

17:06I won at Pebble Beach. I won the players. I won the players in a playoff. So I had come through recent pressure situations and I'd gotten through them. So that's why I felt just more just sort of more comfortable with where I was. And those recent memories, I could draw upon a little bit. Were you worried that you might never get there, that you'd have that end of your career, which is like unbelievable, but you've got that but. Yeah. But he never, but he never. Yeah. And I, yeah. And everyone used to ask me like, oh, do you feel like your career would be complete without the Masters? And I'd be like, yeah, you know, I think I'd be happy.

17:48But oh, there's always that. yeah but like if i didn't yeah um look it's the what it's you know it was the um you know it was the first grand slam in 25 years and you know there was a you know and and i'd i think what i didn't help myself was like i i put it out there that like this is this is what i want this is what i want to achieve and like you know that that puts more pressure on on you from the outside but honestly like going into that day i you know never in my wildest dreams that i think that i'd be in a playoff with Justin Rose. Rosie played great that day. I thought it was really just going to be between me and Bryson.

18:25It obviously didn't pan out that way, but I thought that Bryson was going to be my biggest obstacle to doing it. You know the 13th? You know the shot on the 13th? I remember it well. For me, obviously watching from the start of the morning, when you've done that, what happened with that shot, Rory? Because I know you mentioned about what happened. Yeah, so a lot of people's masters have been won and lost at the 12th hole, the hole before. And I got through that unscathed, hit it on the middle of the green, two putted, did what I needed to do, moved on to the next. And I said to my caddy Harry, walking up to the 13th tee, like usually it's a, you know, you see people go for that green and two and you can make it.

19:06But I said to him, what do you think about playing this as a three shotter? So it was the first time I was thinking a little bit defensively. Right. Why did you do that? Because you'd have a strong lead. I'd had a four shot lead. you just saw I just saw you know play it's a power five isn't it yeah I play smart more so than defensive but I was like let's just take a big number out of play is what I was thinking so I usually hit driver off that's yeah I hit three wood just to get it in play and I did and hit a good layup with a knee and iron and left myself a pretty good number you know you're always trying to leave yourself like yardages that you that you're comfortable with and you like but when I got down there it had it had settled there's like these drainage sort of hollows by the left side of the fairway and it was on the upslope of one of those and usually when you're hitting wedge shots off an upslope with the loft of the club the ball comes out left so I was trying to guard against that a little bit so I give myself maybe a yard or two of like a margin for error on the right side of the the pin and i just i yeah i got ahead of it made a bad swing and i mean i had you know my dad said to me after you had all of georgia on your left and you had it right but you know it um what was you thinking what was you thinking when that happened thought i had a similar wedge shot at the u.s open in 2023 um that lost me the u.s open and i that's I thought I was like, I've done it again.

20:34Like, you idiot, I've done it again. So, you know, obviously I made a seven there and that was, but I still looked up at the big leaderboard. I still had the lead. So I was like, okay, you still have the lead. You've got five more holes to go. You've got another par five. Like, you know, you can, everything's okay. You know, it wasn't quite panic stations, but it was close enough. Is that back nine at the Masters? It must be, that's a real thing then, isn't it? It just basically sort of, it's tuned people up, hasn't it? It has, yeah. Yeah, it has. I mean, yeah, over the years. What is it about that back nine, that tournament?

21:09I think because we go back to the same course every year, everyone has all these memories. So, like, you remember everything that's happened, even if it's not to you. You know, you remember all the shots and you remember Faldo hitting the three iron in the 13 or, you know, you remember Tiger chipping in on 16. Like, you remember all these shots. So, like, I just think the course is more in your head than at other golf courses because we just, we don't, you know, especially at the major championships, we don't go back to the same course every year. So it just, you're, you know, again, like, the reason that I started to play defensive on 13 is because I remember what I've done on 13 before, and I've hit it in that creek too many times or up in those azaleas, you know.

21:52So it just, it plays with your head a bit. Tone, what hole was it when Rory hit the greatest shot ever in the world? 15th hole. 15th, Rory, when you had to bend it like 70 yards left or so. What was that about? But Rory, that shot, though, how much did you have to turn it round there? So, I didn't, yeah, I had to turn it maybe 30 yards. Yes. But if I didn't turn it enough, it would have went into the right bunker, which actually wasn't a bad miss. so like it was still it was it was an incredible shot but i knew i had a little bit of a bailout all i needed to do was focus on hitting it you know making sure i struck it well so that we get over the water that was the biggest thing but you know it came out it came out perfect um and yeah that was really that that was the shot that turned it around that got some momentum again that helped me go on to um what a sigh of relief when that one hit the green huh yeah and again i hit a great shot into that hole the day before i had a six iron in on saturday so you know i had again like all the memories of the shots that you've had there and like it just you know it it does something and it plays on your mind a lot more than other places but yeah that was you know that that'll you know that'll go down as the as the greatest shot no matter yeah what i do going forward that'll yeah i jumped up i was out to say that was the shot

Who is the bigger football fan? And we've got to put our things up first. I'm going to say... Football fan. How do you get that when they're both massive fans? I'm going to go with that. I'm going to go with that, then. I'm going to go with that. I don't know how... There's no logic to it. Yeah, there's no logic to it. that. Who gets more wound up when you get beefed? Who gets more wound up when you get beefed? I suppose you went to games before I did.

28:51Stick to Football Hosts: in the Glories under Jim Smith and the Aussie Ordealers. Jim Smith, Aussie Ordealers. Yeah, that's where I started. So maybe I'm a true fan because I stuck with it. Who would you say watches the most and gets the most agitated? Well, I'll tell you who's the most statty. Like, he'll remember games and who do we play and the results he remembers. He's a bit very manny. Yes, that's good. That doesn't mean you're right, though. I thought we could change. If it's up for us the most during games, then it's me. I thought we could change. Who's the better presenter? Oh! Go on, lads. Have a go. No, no, no, you can't separate.

29:33Well done, Ian. Oh, you can't. They're a team, they are one. Well, I know who you've just chosen, guys.

I think I'm going to go with that. Yeah, he looks more like a chef. He's got a cook face. Yeah. A cook face? A happy face when he's cooking. I'm happy to tell you, you are all completely wrong. Absolutely. Oh, God, you would never... Nev, give me that information.

30:17It's definitely me. Don't judge your book, babe. Cook well, cook everything, cook for the family, the girls, the kids, yeah. Oh, wow. Is it like a therapeutic kind of thing? Yeah, I love it. Love it. Yeah, love cooking. Speciality? Anything that would involve kind of a long marinade, a nice five-spice rollback. Wow. Oh. A leg of lamb or something. Yeah, man. I love a leg of lamb. I swear. I've just learned how to use the air fryer. Very pleased with that. Then you've got a good cooked face. Have I checked? Somebody said Dexter, I believe what's in. I can see him in the outfit. So can I. Who is the first to say sorry after an argument?

30:56I'd definitely go this one. I don't know why. I'm going to go Ant.

31:07Probably me. I think it's you. Oh, really? Because he did something wrong. Mostly he's at fault. Who is clumsier?

31:21I'm probably going to go around again. Definitely know the answer there. I feel like we're being harsh on Ant. I'm going deck. I'll go deck. Go with your instincts, Kale.

31:29Stick to Football Hosts: Yeah, be harsh on Ant. I've slipped on live telly loads of times. On Britain's Got Talent, Fell on My Arse, I'm a celebrity, I fall over a few times, slice the end of my thumb off. I've got loads of cuts and bruises. Yeah, I'm very clumsy. That's the thing, he's a great cook, but you might find the end of his thumb in your dinner. I've got your toenails. Got your toenails? Fingered nails. I don't mix with your toes.

31:56Unless I'm getting really... I really want a deep marinade in there. Who's the messiest? Oh, my God. Well, if he's... I'm going to go with Dex simply because... You've got to mix it up a little. You used to go on the opposite of him. Yeah, but you know what? Chefs are quite messy, I think. Who's the messiest? Him. Thank you. Jesus, why am I not getting no credit for what I'm doing? I know these guys. I've been watching them for years. Well done, Ian. Jeez. Well done, Ian. What, whilst they're, like, in the bedroom? Just watching them. I just feel them. Are you a sleeper? Watch you while you're a sleeper.

32:33That's what we did to you. Yeah, exactly. How many years was it winning the presenters of the year? Was it 20 years? 23. You were robbed in the last one. Then the sub-star came along in Gary Linnigan. And sported a party for everyone. I was upset. Do you know what? It was one of those things where we thought about it. After a while, when you go to the NTAs, and you'd won it for so many years in a row, the only thing people talked to you about was losing it. You're going to lose tonight? Tonight, you're going to lose it? They just enjoy it, Jesus Christ. And it got to the point even people would go, and the winner is, and they go...

33:11You sat there in the front row and you're like, thanks a lot. Everybody else took the shine off it, and we were like, we were still thrilled to win it, still thrilled to be even nominated after that many years. Consistency. Yeah, do you know what I mean? So, but we knew it was going to happen one day. The last one of these, who is the funnier?

33:34Yes, Gary.

33:36Stick to Football Hosts: No, you're a team. Yeah, but when you say you're a team, it's just like... You can't sit on the fence. I am sitting on the fence. I am as well. Thanks. Because the joke's fun. He just makes me laugh. Just laughing. He just makes me laugh. Who's the funniest? We can't judge that. Exactly. Thank you, Gary. You can be the judge of that, Gary. Yeah, exactly. Oh, what a prick. Right. LAUGHTER I'll tell you who's funnier in my house, Gary made... You know Poppy? Yeah. They tell Gary he's hilarious. I said, I will tell him. I'll tell him live. Which Gary? Oh, yeah, Gary Neville. This Gary. Did she not think we were going to do the rest of this football?

34:17LAUGHTER Because I did. LAUGHTER That's the funniest thing.

34:32Last time you spoke to us, obviously, you were talking mainly about the United job in terms of you just, obviously, you come out of that maybe a year or so. How much impact do you think that had on you in respect of, sort of, when you look back at that three, did it take a lot out of you mentally? And does it hurt still now an element of, sort of, just looking at it?

34:49Stick to Football Hosts: Of course it does, because that's a, you know, sometimes you talk about jobs and then it's just a job and you move on. That Man United one, I've been there for 18 years and a half years. So that's, well, now you're done with it. And that's a different kind of scenario. So of course that was a kick. I thought we had something going, but then now we've moved on from that one. Did it take the whole three years to get over that? No, no, no. No, no. No, he's not. But it takes time, yeah, of course. You do have to recharge the batteries. I'm amazed when some managers lose their job and they're literally within a week or two at the back.

35:25Stick to Football Hosts: Yeah, Joseph went from Fenerbahce to Benfica in a week. Me, Eric and Arginger also was sacked within three days or whatever, the three of us. And he just got back in and he's got that energy, hasn't he? How was the club different, Oli, when you were the manager? Was it different? Oh, yeah. It was different. It's all moved on, of course. But then that's by the by. Is that what they say? By the by. Is there games, you look back on at United, can you remember what Oli were? Sometimes there's like, if you could just get over the line in certain games, isn't it? the final of Pepsi if you get a trophy under your belt it just gives you a bit more time if we'd won the final of course that'd be different if you knew that you like because you sense it but if you knew this is the last one if you don't win this one you do you'd put a different team out and all this because I was always I've never ever once apart from keeping Scott McTominay away from Derby on loan my first few months that's the only time I've been thinking about myself I've always thought about the club before me and then always long term and who needs games and da da da but if you know it's and that's that's an advice from me to you if you're ever thinking about getting rid of someone speak to them we need next three games we need to see a change if not we'll have to change and everyone's a man enough to say okay you think it's better for an owner to go to a manager and say you've got three games or next game or yeah 100 % yeah I do that every week couldn't I I've never done that and I've heard that as a tactic but the idea of telling someone they're going to lose the job what's that going to how are they going to react how are they going to react to that all I've been told once where was that?

37:12Stick to Football Hosts: in Mulder so just asked have you got the energy to do this yeah of course I'm enjoying myself but if we don't win the next game I've got to do that what the other people are wanting me to do so then I'll have to sack you. Okay. And then it's just... Just one game? Yeah, yeah. You have to win the next one. So then what happens when you win that one game and you're a company? When do they come back and say you need to win this game? It puts pressure on you. Yeah, it puts pressure but that was the ultimatum. Ian, I'm completely with you. I'm just thinking it from an owner's perspective. If I'm saying to a manager that your whole future at the club is dependent upon one football match I've already made the decision to sack you yeah you're just waiting for him I've already had that conversation with fellow owners we've sat there and we've said we're going to sack you but if he wins this weekend we'll keep him but in a couple of weeks if it turns we're going to get him anyway I can see that point I've been on the end of like a bad result and then that's it but it was happening so but at United it was hard towards the end you must have seen and felt that oh yeah we lost the city in Liverpool of course that's anyone could do that against Klopp and Pep but the way we did it that wasn't right because he was at home and then of course when we lost to Watford away that was it But if a situation's happening you're saying is it not best to know that it's happening I think so Would a manager know that I'm not saying going in every week You'd have vibes going do you know what I've got to get a couple of results might be just one game but I've got to get some results I think what you would do what I've done but to be fair I don't know what other owners do what I think I would have done in the past would have been to say look you know the results there's a pattern of results here that aren't going our way because obviously you wouldn't be having that conversation anyway if they weren't, if they were going our way, what are we going to do to change this?

38:58I think that's how I'd position it in terms of, if you're playing 4-4-2 or you're playing 4-3-3 or you're picking certain players, what are we going to do to change it? How can we change this to try and change the direction of the momentum that's swinging against us? That would be a conversation I would expect to have with them. Not just leave them and then sack them, but I think you'd have that conversation to say, look, this isn't working. What are we going to do? I think I'd expect answers from that coach at that point.

39:21Stick to Football Hosts: If you agree then, OK, let's do this for a month or whatever. So it's before instead of after the game, you're sat there and then, OK. See, you get the nod. Like the gaffer when you're not playing. I think that's your man enough to know that, OK, I'm struggling here now. We need to show a bit of change in the next, say, three weeks, four weeks. Have that conversation. I thought United, and maybe it's something that's just ignorant. I just thought when they brought you in, they brought you in obviously to the end of the season initially, didn't they? Yeah. And then obviously you didn't. Or no, they brought me in until they found someone else.

39:59Stick to Football Hosts: So that could have been one month, two month treatment. Okay. But when they brought you in, I thought there was a, because obviously at the time the club didn't have anybody in the sporting department at all. They didn't have a sporting director, they didn't have a technical director. I thought there was a natural sort of way after a year and a half for you just to step up. Yeah. And sort of work along. In terms of like that type, have you ever thought about that, the idea of shifting up into that sporting director role so that you're not in that firing line of basically every six months losing your job.

40:24Stick to Football Hosts: Definitely. You would consider something like that? I would, yeah. To have the Google Earth or overview, just sit there and then direction of the club. That's the long-term direction. That's when I've been the manager, I've always thought about the long-term and then developed the club. But isn't your strengths like working with players and people and emotional intelligence? I know you still have an element of that, but obviously getting the best out of players. I can't say what my strength is. I think that's someone else who's worked with me that can say that or played with me. As a human being, you don't want to stop talking about yourself.

41:01Stick to Football Hosts: Is that seen as a cushy number though? Obviously, you've had a taste of management. I think a lot of people don't want to go upstairs because there is security in the job. That's not always a good thing either. When people go upstairs, they go, I'll be all right for a treat. I can sack one or two people. Maybe you'd miss that edginess of being a manager and that results week to week. You hear any of the managers speaking, Martin and I love it, he's going up to Celtic. I was chatting to him last week after the game, he said, we won, you have to win. That's what it's about. If you get enough wins, you should be all right, you can survive long enough.

41:30Stick to Football Hosts: If you're not getting results, you don't need an owner to sit down when you go, listen, if things don't pick up next to, I know that, I'm not daft. Could you pick up them vibes around your club anywhere?

41:46Hi. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. All right. Okay. So how are you now? I'm very good and healthy, which is the most important. Don't cry. Don't cry. Because then I cry too. You guys should just go outside. You've done really well. I'm doing well. I'm very happy. And how was it at the time with each other? obviously how important was it that oh my god maybe it's better if i go this is the good time now georgie i think we lived the experience a little different i think i was um just going with everything a little bit with the flow and he was very stressed out and i think he wanted to make all the choices and i wanted to make the choices so we would argue sometimes about what i wanted to do or what I could do and he was very strict and I also had to balance chemotherapy and um physio for my leg because I had to learn to re-walk and everything because I do have a transplant and metal and screws so you know he was as a football player he was making me do physio twice a day and you know he was not not me like with yeah yeah no no obviously but he was pressuring me so much and he was treating me a bit like a football player and yeah and discipline like there was a kimio we had a huge argument she wanted to date for two weeks and i was like no like you can't delay this for for two weeks come on this is a serious like were they the choices that you're talking about yeah yeah i think that was our argument everyone got involved just because I wanted to see someone and he didn't.

43:29I also wanted to be good for Christmas. I struggled a lot during my chemos. I would not eat for nine days and I was vomiting every 15 minutes. So I think I just wanted to be good for Christmas and be with my family. And he was not happy that I was trying to delay my chemo. But I felt like it was important to be present. And also it was my sister's birthday and I didn't want to just, you know, be in the dinner table and not being able to eat and having to rest so i did end up delaying the chemo which was a big scandal wow she won but i did talk to my oncologist and he was okay with my decision so i think i felt good and also he was telling me that i was going to do an extra session and i was telling him that's not gonna happen but i had to push i mean you know like Like, after chemo, very tough, many days without, and they would tell her she has to drink a lot of water, a lot of this.

44:24And, yeah, I can understand she didn't want because she had to vomit every 15, 20 minutes. Like, she couldn't stop. So the more you drink, the more you will vomit, you know? That's mentally how we think. Yeah. And I had to be a bit probably the bad cop. Like, pushing, come on, we have to do it, you have to do it. So for you, like, you're obviously being the bad cop in front of her. Did you have to go somewhere else to kind of, like, release? when she would spend because normally like when she's in Barcelona she's in my home like all the kids basically and but when she would go with her mom for a weekend like that's when I would be sick you know that's when everything would come out of me and you know all the acting that you do during the week that's the moment you can let go of it but it's it's tough you know because it's a word that, I mean, we've seen it, it makes you afraid.

45:20Yeah. And we've seen it nearby, close friends or like with my father, even though I'm super in peace with that part. But with the daughter, as a father, I think it's our soft spot. We cannot accept that. Yeah. We cannot accept that. Our princesses. Yeah. Do you think you would argue because you're both very strong-willed and maybe similar personalities? Aquarius. We're both Aquarius. I think it's because we lived together. I think when I lived with my mom, I was a bit more like her. And then when I started living with him, I think we morphed into the same personality, which I'm not sure yet if it's a good old person.

46:04Is there a place whereby you could see yourself just sort of settling into the TV, the punditry, doing the games that you do and then basically not going back into coaching? Yeah, I'm OK with that. That's not a problem. I enjoy covering some of the games. I enjoy having quite a bit of free time. Probably the best part I've had from a family point of view for, well, ever, really, in terms of being there, being presently 0's 8 now. During his career, I've been in Scotland, I've been in Birmingham. So, yeah, really enjoying the family side of it and having a load of free time, but also I'm conscious that I want to stay busy enough where I'm doing enough.

46:41I can't not see you at Liverpool at some stage. And I'm not talking about like, I'm just talking about like, your connection with the club is so like, you absolutely love the club. Do you understand what I mean? I love Liverpool, but I always feel when I look at you, and I've never really said this to you before, I'm not talking about like going in to manage, I'm sure you'd love to do that one day, but it just feels to me, sooner or later, even if you'd have a go at management somewhere else, maybe in the Championship or Premier League, I just feel there'll be something with you when I look at Kenny or I look at sort of Ian Rush I just feel like that connection with you and the club will come back together at some stage is that something you look at I've got a brilliant connection with the club I always have and probably a stronger connection since I left they've always been unbelievable any help or area I could help the club in I'd always try and do it if I could but I suppose what you want to know is do you want to manage Liverpool at some point in my life of course that would be a dream but I think would I be ready for it right now to take it over a period of time probably not but is there a possibility in the future to be alongside someone them elite managers that you're talking about Would you be an assistant to someone at Liverpool?

48:02Depends who it is and how the conversation goes and you know does he need me does he think I'm going to offer would you be able to handle that in terms of obviously you know you're certain as long as I'm not sub I'll be as one no but you've been a number one someone who's to be fair likes to be in charge of their own destiny could you sit there and not be the person who's making that I mean I've done that role you know I think Roy you've done that role you've done that role actually it's frustrating at times because ultimately you're not the decision maker could you handle that yeah but you have to understand it before you sign up to it you know what the role is and it's to support the manager to be that assistant I would do it for Liverpool Football Club if I was asked and they felt I was the right man to do it I'd be open to it of course

48:48Stick to Football Hosts: Depends on the manager Depends who the manager is whatever the role again obviously when they went Martin and to be fair Villa Liverpool but with Martin particularly if you've got a respect for a manager it's great to learn off somebody like that You probably need a manager who's not going to if you've got Stevie Gerrard at Liverpool as your number two you're probably going to be a bit afraid of it and you're going to be a little bit worried about... Yeah, I think certain people might be, but I think... The top guys. When you speak to the top guy, I remember sitting down with Jürgen Klopp and coming out of a conversation with him and just thinking, you're just above it all.

49:18You're just above the media. You're just above... You're so thick-skinned, and, like, the aura and the charisma of you, and I was just thinking to myself, just do anything you ask me to do. I walked out the room, I was seven foot eight.

49:32Stick to Football Hosts: And I think what's helped you on about... Because you've been a manager before, I think when you've been a manager and become a sister, I think it helps because you know what the manager's going through. It's a big plus. And you take a lot of pressure away from him and help him. You know what exactly he is, and particularly if he's a manager you respect, you go, yeah, I'll do anything for this guy, whatever he says. And the top managers don't see he's a threat. They go, I know you're not a threat to me. The other side of it as well, it's the chance to be part of something you win for Liverpool again.

49:55And, you know, as Jamie said, that connection won't leave me. I do love them. What were you like at home in that period, sort of, after a defeat or when you leave Villa? change from what you ordinarily would? You're asking me or do you want to phone Alex? Nightmare. Miserable. No, no, no. No, just it's tough. It's tough. You know, you don't like to fail, you don't like to get things wrong, you don't like to let people down. When I took the villa job on, I was desperate to help them. They gave me an incredible opportunity and you don't like to be criticised or people to say you're not good enough.

50:33It's not a good feeling so you have to process that yourself and go, well, how did that happen? Where did it go wrong? What would they do different next time? Blah, blah, blah. And that's what you go through. But initially, for the people that are having, being in them big jobs, it's tough. You've had it once.

50:47Stick to Football Hosts: Do you appreciate your family a bit more when you lose your job a little bit? My wife preferred when we were losing. Yeah. If we won a few games, I'd be walking in like John Wayne, you know what I mean? I'm the man. We lost a few games, aren't we? Yeah. What's for dinner? I think if you'd ask that. A humble pie, you know what I mean? She'd rather me not do it. She'd rather me not do it. She says to me, like, you've had that long a career and then you've had a go with it for eight, ten years and stuff. Just don't do it. Why did you put yourself through it? I missed playing as well, bad, for a period of time.

51:18Did you? Yeah, I missed playing. Used to just love the routine and knowing what I was doing. Did you play in the training games? I'm playing on Saturday. Again, one of the legends. I think it's the World Cup final. Seriously? I'm going to look massive in the kit and all that, but I can't wait. Have you been training for it? I always think about injuries in them games. You're doing the paddle, aren't you? The pitch is a bit bigger than the paddle, aren't you? Saying that, some of the partners have played... Get some legs around you. Use your experience, yeah. But I believe Thiago and a few others are playing, so I'm just going to sit and just barcode us.

51:50Brilliant.

Nicky, come on, son. I'm struggling. How can you? Here we go. Liverpool. Easy. Easy, this one. Come on, Kieran. Easy. Oh! Oh my God! He's got a shot, he's got a shot. Right, you've done it. You've done it. You've done it.

58:56Stick to Football Hosts: You've done it. Hulse and Portugal. Villa. Aston Villa. I'm with you. There you go. He's mighty down here, all the game. He's in me here. You know in Barcelona, you should have put up like a cell, a cell like bars. Fucking brilliant. That gets it straight off. Put him up that foot. The end of that round, a stack to football around 17, The good, the bad, and that was out. Sorry, boys. That was out. I don't know what I'm meant to do there. Oh, just anything. No, that was out. Anything. Just fucking work. In Spurs, you're head rent-free, mate. How do you draw the club? What do you think I am? Draw the shape of the shield.

59:34Stick to Football Hosts: I said Liverpool, by the way. I said Liverpool. And he was drawing Aston Villa at the time. And he said Liverpool.

59:51We had Andrew Douglas, I don't know if you know him. Top, top, top, top players. But they just couldn't make that final hurdle. Arsene Wenger came in and he still had a big, big top squad. So we had the odd opportunity to come and train. Oh! Oh! He's got a big, big top squad. Oh, my God. He's got a big, big top squad. Oh! Oh, my God. Oh, my God. We ill-disciplined. We need to know who that was. We need to know who that was. Anybody else? Oh, my goodness. The dodgy call. Remember what it is? You have to answer it. My phone's always off. There is a God. There is a God. Jesus, Roy. That's not a girl.

1:00:39Ash. Ash. Honestly. Oh, I'm sorry. It's a showstopper, that. Come on. I need a mini-roll. Where was I again? I always remember that. He's just saying, well, them older players are so important to learn from him.

1:00:53Stick to Football Hosts: I'm raging with that. You've got four jobs on silent. You've got YouTube and your algorithm. There's an amazing press conference of him with a guy that's got the podium. Who's that? Who's that? Can I tell you a quick story about that? I'd done an Ipsos game last year for Sky. The guy whose form was ringing came over and apologised. The reporter came looking for me. And I asked him, I said, well, why didn't you switch it off all them years ago? He said, I was nervous, I didn't know what to do. But he apologised for that. And I apologised for that. Oh, don't be silly. I'm ready. Whoever's made that full call is what you get.

1:01:29Whoever's running that number? All right, let it go, Ian. No, you can't let that go, Roy. We've got to find out who that number was. That is brilliant. I'm so happy. That's made my day, that.
