MAN UNITED SACK RUBEN AMORIM!

37:40Do you think, I'm going on a bit of a tangent here, that's why Trent Alexander-Arnold went to Real Madrid? Because you can't say, I've gone in there to win things. You're winning things at Liverpool. It's because it's Real Madrid. That's what I mean. It's Real Madrid.

37:53Paddy McGuinness:I was just going to say, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Man United, Liverpool. When we say it's Man United, it isn't Man United of all. You're right there. And they can't probably compete with the absolute elite, the best best best players say Jude Bellingham for instance say he's going from Birmingham to Real Madrid you think yeah I get that rather than go to Manchester United who are the top players if it was an Mbappe on the move you think would you go to no probably not if he was coming to England at this point but just below that level then they can go and blow people out of the water you think the lad at Brighton they keep talking about I haven't seen loads of him and when I'm saying they've got the power to it I mean the financial power say look here's 100 million quid come on come aside for us and you're going to go from Brighton to Man United don't you?

38:39Yeah but do you want a player at a club who's coming for the money?

38:46Paddy McGuinness:No but where we're at now you have to entice them somehow It's the only way to get them to Man United Yeah but that's what I'm saying that's like that's wrong though do you know if you're going to a club like United because they're giving you 400 bags a week you're not the right player for them Because of what's happened in the last five years it's the only way they can get people to the club but it's never going to get any better is it you've got to strip it back of course it will because you get them players in who are elite and it gets better of course and again Paddy if you look at Amarin obviously the big news when he gets to the end of his career when he gets to whatever let's say it's 65-60 when he looks at his CV I am telling you now the top of that the manager the top of his CV won't be Sporting Lisbon whoever it's going to be next it's going to be after that and then Man United it'll be Man United and then the rest and it's the same with players and again people will be bored of me saying it when you play for a football club like that all the other big dogs we talked about the institutions that's the top of everyone's CV and if you ask I speak to Graeme Sinus quite a bit he's a good fellow he's a Liverpool legend Liverpool legend is like one of the best players I've ever had he's managed the club he's like a big personality even he said Man United is one of the biggest football clubs in the world oh yeah it's not that about that it will always have that pull it will always have that pull you have to realise what market United are shopping in yeah but look at look at the transfer we don't have just said they've signed a lab from Wolves brilliant player signed a lab from Brentford who looks like he's going to be very good as well they're not in that market anymore so to get into the market of buying taking a player from Arsenal taking a player from Liverpool taking a player from Man City taking a player from Real Madrid Barcelona there has to be a premium to it but they've just got to be, they've left themselves in that position because of what's happened.

40:39The failings over the last four, five, six, seven years.

40:41Paddy McGuinness:To be able to get back to that market, what Scores is quite rightly saying, you've got to get back there. To get back there, you've got to get the next ones down that will get you there. When you get there, then no disrespect, you're then going to go and get the best players from Chelsea or Arsenal. And then these ones that got you there, they might get moved away because you're going to have to try and win Champions League. To compete for the best players, they've got to pay more money. So, for instance, you had, let's say, Jude Bellingham as well he's not happy at Real Madrid he wants to leave you've got Arsenal and Manchester United after him at this point you'd probably choose Arsenal then all of a sudden United come in and say we'll give you another 250 grand a week that's the position Man United Yeah but that's me as a fan I can't get my head around that because I get it financially Jesus Christ you're going to go yeah it's a no-brainer but I think fans can sniff out players who are there because they want to be there and because they want to win things it's just the way of the world now that's Man United have put themselves in that position I also think that's flawed as well because even not flawed but even when the Sorelics were signing these great players from all over the show from any club they wanted to go they were getting mega money they weren't coming in on crap money they were coming in as high as paid so if you look at a Roy example when he come at the Hyatt British record he weren't getting the because he was a Man United fan he weren't a Man United fan he come because it was the club that was going to win but there were also some players who weren't getting as much as money I saw a quote the manager this week say no look we can't offer you this amount of money but we can offer you this because you're coming to play for Man United but that's gone now that's what I'm saying it's gone it's done within the structure of the football club these ones coming in were always at the high end oh yeah they were always at the high end but they probably could have gone to another club for a extra 10-15 grand a week I only think back to times like when you know Kane were leaving Spurs and you know it was like got to sign him at United and we don't know whether it happened with Donnarumma but it was Kane there was Declan Rice was in that as well and you're going they're not coming so it can't just be it can't just be a business it's got to be the player not fancying it I think it's a bit of both isn't it really I think they've got to use their brains listen they've done the balls in the transfer market when they brought Sanchez from Arsenal giving 350 grand way back when they did it with Zlatan who did very well for the club by the way giving mega money they've done it with Mkhitaryan loads of players and sometimes that doesn't work so it's a fine balance and what happens is people panic and they will do they'll start panicking now the new manager if he comes in or Darren takes over the season whoever takes over that football club at the start of next season will get massive funds again and it's panic but what they've got to do in my opinion in my humble opinion is get people in there that know what it takes to be a Man United footballer it can't just go and buy any old player from around the world they have to go and look at the way they live you've not got a job have you you should do it I'm not saying it for us I'm really not they will get all that crap on Instagram but it'll be like bitter I've got to be honest I don't want you to I'll be fucked here won't I talking to myself welcome talking to two penguins over there right Nick if Arsenal Manchester United wanted you now as a midfield player both offer you 100 grand a week where would you go as a Man United fan no forget a fan we've got Arsenal see that's bonkers isn't it though Yeah but that's the point That's where they are At this point Now look at five years time When they've paid All these premiums Paid more than they should do Then they might be back To that level But at this point There's no way You're choosing Man United No but if Man United And Arsenal Were going together At the Summit At the summit Like trying to win The Premier League Then You would have got Man United Because it's got It's a bigger Football club And they are run Like businesses now Bigger global audience You never No one ever realises it's a true quote this no one ever realises how big Man United is until you go on pre-season tour I am telling you now you never ever David Moyes got the shock of his life and you go this is insane it's a bit like what Niall Horan was saying about when he went on tour with One Direction he said there was thousands of people outside we're not a boy band obviously but people don't understand it they just think Man United they've got a few fans here a few fans there we've got a few what's Keeney's famous one prawn cocktail prawn sandwiches crew here and there I reckon you look but in a boy band with them dreadlocks you know I mean where the fuck is that from 2026 he's got it back in it's the first one back and he's not let it go has he yeah I might go I might go to Turkey and get my tea for my head anyway no bed let's move on okay so this is Hotlet Press for me it's just popped up on my iPad I'm really excited about asking you this actually so So these are a list of managers who are already being bandied about by United.

45:35I'm going to start lowest odds first. If you're not even interested, just go move on. 16-1, Julian Nagelsmann. Move on. Nope. Right. 14-1, Michael Carrick. My pick. Interim.

45:50Paddy McGuinness:My pick. What, that's permanent? I'd put him in and he'll do well. And then a bit like Oli did. But I think, like Scully said, they might be scared of that because then it gets forced upon him because of the... Into him. Yeah. But that'd be the one I would go for. As a non-football person, I've got to say Michael Carrick, whenever I've been in his company and what have you, I think if you're a player, he does have that bit of... He's somewhat about him, isn't he? There's a presence. He's calm, he's got all about him, he's been there, he's done it. And people forget he did a good job at Millsborough.

46:19He'll be well respected. I can't speak to that. Here we go. Another one for you. Kieran McKenna.

46:26Paddy McGuinness:Very good coach. 14-1. not the right job for him now. Robin Van Persie. Nope. Nope. Fucking the list is going down quickly here lads. Cesc Fabregas. Nope. Do you know what, I actually like what he's doing and I thought it might have been a better choice for Chelsea than Rosinha but no, not for you. Marco Silva. Nope. I don't mind him but no. Right. Gareth Southgate. Nope. Move on. Yeah. Gareth should have been in a couple of years ago. He's 10 to 1. I think Gareth's still in his chip just a few years ago. I think Gareth would have been great to settle everything down. Yeah. Xavi. No, not for me.

47:06Not for me, no. I've got to say, the list is getting a little bit fucking slim. He's not got enough experience in England, and he plays a football again. It's not Man United football. Barcelona football, it's not Man United football. This name, and it's four to one, but to me, after everything what's gone on with Amren and what's been said about his tactics, this seems bonkers to me, because he plays the same fucking system. Glasner. Oliver Glasner yeah no not familiar for them reasons you've just said I mean he's done brilliantly where he is but it's not my name no no Fletch Darren Fletcher obviously he's in trim at the minute I'd have him and Michael do it till the end of the season so they can get the right man do you not think though I know again business and everything else it's maybe not very glamorous bringing in two ex-players who whose names aren't synonymous with like top managers at the minute but if it works why not just stick with them well we did that with Oli didn't we disaster after the airport it wasn't a disaster but he did alright Oli but you get sucked into it look Michael would be great as an interim he's not got I don't think he's got the experience to be a Man United manager I just don't who do you think's number one on this list I can see it there oh fucking hell oh lads you've absolutely shafted me

48:21Paddy McGuinness:I wanted to head down and never always get your options open always look over Take a picture, take a picture, look round, see what's around you. Maresca's number one. I mean, if that happens, I pray for Jason if that happens. The timing actually feels like something's been fucking concocted to make that happen. Yeah. I just don't see it again. It's a little bit of the city stuff. There's three people on there. I can't believe I'm not on there. Go on. Emery. Emery's one of them. Yeah. Iriola. Bournemouth. I think he plays an attacking football attacking style of play yes number one for me which I do in the summer is Thomas Tuchel all day long interesting he mentioned him in the press conference did he?

49:06no I don't know he did yeah he said Tuchel he said Mourinho and Conte I think Tuchel's one of the very best out there

49:12Paddy McGuinness:yeah I like him as well and you two have said he's been the number one target and his contract with England is only till the summer that's what I'm saying you two have said that you said that he'll step away from England after the World Cup I'm sure you've said that on previous watch Look I think he can be a bit temperamental and he could be quite difficult to handle but he's done it at big clubs the PSG he's a real deal and he's turned England around as well you won't know how much he's done with England until the World Cup because the opposition is that bad but England do look a lot better under him Out of those three names you've just said what do you think the United fan base would pick out of them three?

49:52I think a lot of them were going towards Emery with what he's done at Villa. Yeah, I don't think Emery will come. I think you mentioned it before.

49:58Paddy McGuinness:I think he's got a good little niche there. He could... But you never know at the end of the season. Man United, dog. He's got to leave Man United. Do you know if you look at Darren second over and you say Michael go in with him, I think they could do a lot worse, me, than bringing a Bruce in with him as well. No, I can hold that. Just sit there and help them out a little bit. Or Roy. I think Roy would have to want to go in full-time, wouldn't he? I don't think he'd do it part time I don't think he'd do either I think Brucie now if you look at Darren as a young coach young head on his shoulders as well going into that job he's going to need someone to lean on and I think they're doing a lot worse than Brucie going in just to the end of the season with Darren A name not on this list but I'm talking just till the end of the season what about Van Nistel Roy?

50:46Paddy McGuinness:Yeah I think with Ruud he's done that once before he did it a few games didn't he before he went to Leicester I think Rude is a very intelligent bright guy and I think he'd want a full contract to go in I don't think look I might be wrong it's Man United he obviously loves a football club he might go in but my thinking would be is I've done that once and you're not using me again even Oli Gunnar again I don't think Oli's doing that until the end of the season is he? I'd see that as again just as an outsider I don't think that'd be a right one just because he's been in a couple of times before it's kind of been a bit hit and miss and it feels like I'll give you my team at the end of the season before they go and get Tuchel will be Darren with either Michael and Brucey and if Michael wouldn't do it then Darren and Bruce end of the season and then go and get Tuchel, that's what I would do I wouldn't be against I wouldn't be surprised to ring Michael to get involved with Darren, I think Darren would want the mates as well I think them to still end the season this season isn't finished you know what I mean they've still got Champions League football and I think that's where I think Bruce just sat there with them two by the way when Giggsie took over it was me Scholesy Giggsie and Phil you need more than one it's a massive job that I don't know who else they're going to bring him but if you brought in Michael Darren and just said Bruce not babysitting but give him a bit of old head Bruce has got unbelievable experience experience unbelievable he's a great blog he knows the club he's got no aspirations of going back into football so he's not going to he's not going to go I'm in charge here it's my club he's going to help he's a helper he'd probably enjoy it more he'd enjoy it he's not getting the pelters and then you've basically got Darren, Michael and him if you brought them three in get in Champions League and then go and get Tuchel that'd be the dream This episode is brought to you by State Farm Listening to this podcast Smart Move Being financially savvy Smart Move Another Smart Move Having State Farm help you create a competitive price when you choose to bundle home and auto.

54:27Paddy McGuinness:will it be his job Aline seriously end of the season we're going back on that I just for his sake I hope he gets the next one right do we not just feel like it's too much of a coincidence this time with Morescu and the relationship he has with Jason Wilcox and Barola if Morescu comes in I like him as a coach I really do with a background I'd give my season tickets back me son wouldn't be going to football I'd stop him going I'd stop him going I'd stop him going can you clip that up lads that's the clickbait for today I'd hand in me season ticket you need to come and get your season ticket that's bull that's bull why even if he wins I think he's done well I thought going to Chelsea I thought no this thing will last two minutes I think he's done alright you misread me I can't sit here and go about Man United philosophy and DNA and then be go well I'd love him Maleski's an ex-man City guy then you've got Barada Jason now I don't care how much success is and you're forgetting when I'm from everyone's City fans I'm a Man United fan I can't I can't accept that I just can't I get it do you know what though Nick my only reservation about Thomas Tuchel I love him I love everything I like the way he behaves I like what he does in the press I like the way he treats his players but his football is very very possession based and a little bit Man City that's my only reservation a lot of coaches like that now they're all like that now it feels like a trend I'd rather see that than what we're seeing now though wouldn't you we're never in control of a game I think he'd make your team in control of games I'd go for him all day long I wouldn't change my mind on that but in the interim well not interim because if Mureska goes in it'll be us for full time do you know one point with Emery everyone's talking about Emery well not everyone is because he's not talking about anything he feels like I know he's a coach but he feels like more of a manager I think he's in total control of us and I don't think Emery's and he's not going to get that yeah I don't think he's the kind of manager who does that press conference going oh it's shit here basically I think he's I think he's a bright I think he's very bright as well What was he like at Arsenal?

56:50I can't remember He didn't do great at Arsenal Was he Prescott I can't remember Good afternoon Do you know just talking about Just parking United up for one second How mad football is at the minute With Maresca I couldn't believe when I first heard about He was being touted for Man City When you've got Pep there And I'm going Oh fucking mad football that's being talked about yeah I think people are speaking about Pepin finishing at some point he'd want to go out on a high though wouldn't he he doesn't want to go out like third or fourth in the league well he's lasted longer at City than any other club I think that's why people are thinking at some point he's going to go now look Moresca does feel like a really good replacement for him at Man City doesn't he he doesn't at United but he does at Man City now look people you don't like Mreskid I don't like him

57:46Paddy McGuinness:I think he's very good at what he does but he doesn't fucking sit right with me he just doesn't sit right with me that's what I'm saying City yeah 100 % yeah if I was a City fan I'd be going to get him in because he knows the philosophy he knows how Pep works there's not too much of a change total opposite to what's happened to Man United there's been so much change it's every two or three years there's so much changes look Pep's not going to last forever is he he's not going to be Sir Alex Bader for 20 or 30 years whatever it is and there's always speculation at some point he is gonna is there only Italy he's not managed yeah I think so so do you think that he'll like want to do a couple of seasons with an Inter Milan or something like that I think national team might be one for him afterwards whether it's maybe even Brazil or something like that I think is this some like conflict between Spain and Catalonia I don't know he won't do Spain he'll do Spain it's Catalonia you can imagine a manager of Brazil a bit like Ancelotti he's gone now do you know what I mean what about two clinic United What about two clinic United and Pep at England?

58:45Yeah. Do you know what? I think Pep would like that. Yeah. Yeah, it's a good shot, Paddy. Fucking hell. It's only two mid-season. I knew I'd get a good one in. I'd get a pat on the back somewhere. I'm still getting fucking pelts for doing 14 pull-ups. Fucking hell, that's... It was 13, actually. It was 13.

59:03Paddy McGuinness:It was 13. Fucking hell. 13 more than you two. Lost us the quiz. Fucking lost us the quiz, yeah. don't fucking say anything I'm not no no this is we're on the same page here same page we didn't put a fuck all on the page

59:24Paddy McGuinness:fucking blankety blankety it's like Amber and fucking Berada and Joseph Wilcox around this table

59:33I put a little video clip on when I watched that quiz which you agreed with which was Roy Keane not saying what they said he'd said. The corruption is fucking... So basically, they said, I said, can I say Man United?

59:49Paddy McGuinness:And he went, Man United. Yeah, exactly. Man United twice. He never even said it. And how that swept up in the moment. I mean, not that it's got us on now. I mean, I've not stopped thinking about it all Christmas. Yeah, but you know why? Because I don't mind losing, but when it's done with an injustice... I don't like losing. Yeah. It's just the old Brian Clough thing, isn't it? Take all your medals, the overlap, and put them in the bin because you've won and we're fucking cheating. I thought he was here then. I did not. He's from Bolton. He's like that. Hey, I'm looking to do them all on me. I'm sorry.

1:00:20I'm trying to do you all right there, by the way. Fucking hell. He's got a heater. Fucking hell. He tore the blue over here. He's got no extension lead. No. Darren Fletcher. First game, Burnley. It's a way, isn't it? It's a way. A way, yeah. Hey, 4-4-2. Back to basics.

1:00:37Paddy McGuinness:Let's get the win, boys. Mike Bassett. 4-4 fucking 2 he's definitely going to go 4-4 too he'll have to anyway he won't play 2-up front will he? no play 4-4 1-1 Keane and Sesco yeah Keane is a 10 so should we pick the team? Keane is obviously Le Mans isn't it Diogo Dallo I think the young kids are alright have them have them have them have them have them have them have them don't know if any of them are back then they play don't they if Maguire and Deleuze are back they play of course I'm just trying to think from the squad that was yesterday so Hevin Martinez Martinez yeah Sure Luke Shaw Then I think it has to be I want to pick a 4-3-3 I don't know what Fletcher will do But It has to be with Garte No does it I can't choose Probably Casemiro Casemiro You get a little insight Into Ruben Amarin's world now No but It's got to be Casemiro Just because of his quality on the ball And they've got a burn And they should be in control of the game now the two in front Cobb and Mino would definitely be one Bruno Fernandes would be one if he's fit I don't think he is fit who else is in there is Mount Mount's out for a bit Mount's injured again just random do you think when you've played for a obviously this didn't really happen with you but certainly with you when you're at a club where it's not quite working and then the manager goes as a player do you wake up and go thank fuck at least we can start playing know we want to play it depends if you like the manager do you think the united lads will be like that today some of them will be some of them the ones that are out of favor the ones that have been out of favor will certainly most definitely go thank for that i think i might get a game and stuff now and even the ones look when it comes to an end it's usually for a big big reason no i don't think they will be no and when it's happened to me i think newcastle had about eight majors nine miles who got something new is every Every fucker.

1:02:36Paddy McGuinness:Graham. Sir Bobby, who signed me, sacked. Then it was Graham, sacked. Sam Ardice, sacked. Glenn Roder, sacked. It's a fucking jinx, this fella. Who else? Oh. Kevin Keegan came. Alan Shearer came. Did Kevin Keegan go back? Joking here. Fucking hell, Nick. What, all the time you were there? All the time I was there. Fucking hell. Nigel Worthington had a bit of a time there, Spell there, when I was there. He's eight managers here. With Chris Hewton. rude hullet no you weren't there then no you had 9 managers 10 including interim 10 I've been there 5 years 6 years from the age of 12 from the age of 13 14 I think up until I was 30 I won my ad and then his 5 or 6 years at Newcastle I cannot believe that 10 times which was the best Monday morning that fucking hell thank god he's been sacked it's not a nice question I know no it's not a nice question but probably 9 times I'd say I was gutted when Sir Bobby got sacked I was with you I was with you remember I was a siphon Newcastle I was away with England is that when Shira came in no Shira came right at the end Sir Bobby he was a great man inside me so I knew he liked me and then he got sacked Graeme came in Graeme obviously I liked him I got on well with him so yeah I mean I was okay with all the managers none of them disliked me I didn't dislike them some things you don't agree with some of the certain ways of playing, but literally I never thought of walking foot for that.

1:04:09Paddy McGuinness:I was never delighted. Yeah, it always amazed me when a manager comes in, like if you just take Cobby as an example, where he just doesn't fancy him, and then the manager leaves, and then let's say Cobby plays again and does well, and you're going, well, that's the same player. So why did you not fancy him? Do you know what would be interesting? If Cobby, like, if he's fit and he doesn't play the next few games, because then somewhat under light, he's done doing something wrong behind the scenes. We sit here, we talk, we only see the tip of the iceberg and all this kind of stuff we said before if he doesn't play over the next two or three weeks and he's fit then it's telling you something that he's behaving wrong or something you don't know yeah it's amazing how new managers come in and they try and make a point from the last one and Cobby's a great example of being able to do that do you know weirdly as well I just I think like that you know that new manager kind of lift I can see United beating City it's random I can just see them everyone's behind them Fletch has come in they play a different system I could see him beating City with Amorim I don't think City are I don't think they're anywhere near what they have been they're amazing they're amazing standards to get to don't get me wrong they're just somewhat about them I still don't think they're quite right I think if they get the injuries back as in like Maguire the late and them kind of players we've got a chance but I just feel with the younger players at the back they've done brilliant by the way Heaven's been unbelievable to be fair for his age and they are only young only young kids but I wouldn't like to see him against Haaland.

1:05:33No, no. I mean, Martinez against Haaland. You need Delecht and Maguire back for that.

1:05:40Paddy McGuinness:Haaland would pick Martinez up and run with him. He'd be like, you know what you see, a dad from school. He'd score, then throw him in the net. Running down the road like with a little, that's what he'd be like. You just hold him. Like one of them cushions you get. You hold Maguire and Delecht. I take it back everyone, he's got a point. Do you know what the thing is? Sometimes, probably wrongly, I look at both managers and think, can he really beat him this is probably wrong as well the 2008 Chelsea Cup final the Champions League final for some reason I was just thinking all day how can Everham Grant beat Sir Alex in one of the biggest games I just can't see now look don't get me wrong it does happen and I'll look at that game in two weeks I'll look at the touchline is it two weeks City game yeah it's week and Saturday I'll look on the touchline and I'll see Pep and possibly Darren Fletcher sorry is it away or at home how I'm City United and I'll think Darren was like I really like you but how do you are out caught and sometimes it doesn't come to our culture course it comes down to the players if you remember always I was just gonna say games Pepo yeah I'm just gonna say but then all these got a great record against pep and they're not in the same yeah ballpark did I mean so look it's a funny game the capable of winning of course yeah and no one thing that will be will happen the crowd were massively behind them.

1:07:00I think they could beat him. See, we've agreed though, we went round the houses, but we got there. I was giving you a few reasons. You've talked about who you'd like to see take over at United, but who do you think, hand on heart, come summer, will be given the United job? Not who you want, but who you think, looking at the club at the minute you can't get inside their head though can you how do we know we can't make a decision we don't know what Jason Wilcox is thinking do you know what I won't be surprised if they're thinking of your man Nick Maresco I really wouldn't surprise me I don't know are we going to cope with him no no we'll have to go around his house and we'll have to be having like I just think the connections there they might see that as a safe bet for him because they know him I think it was someone

1:07:59Paddy McGuinness:that we're not thinking of because just the Morescu sorry Nick he's just left Chelsea because he probably isn't in control of it all he was saying wasn't he so is he going to come tonight it's all permutation you sit back and you change your mind eight times Tuchel if Tuchel does well in the World Cup and you're talking about Man United not being Man United and people not the big pull and we're saying it still is I'm going to go with you on this little bit is he clever is he too clever to go I'm not coming anywhere near that I'm coming absolutely nowhere near that because if he does well in the World Cup every club in the world will be in for him every club and I mean the top clubs Real Madrid they'll all be in for him that's the part the likes of Real Madrid might have a vacant 60 I don't think it's going great for a round would he then go Barcelona I'm not touching that the clubs we're passionate about it he won't be he'll be more he'll be more clever I'll tell you if Tuchel gets the job who won't be coming to United, fucking Bellingham.

1:08:59So you can forget that if Tuchel gets the job. You've got to pick one. Do you want Bellingham or do you want Tuchel? I want to go top three. Tuchel, I really like Areola. No, I'm going to go Tuchel and a joint second, Emery and Areola. Who? Areola.

1:09:16Paddy McGuinness:Who was the first one you said then? Emery. I thought you said Emery in there. I thought they were coming back. Fucking hell, that's a quick turnaround, isn't it? That's me. Do you know what? who you can say you're free in a minute go on do you know I know it's happened and it's all happened today and it's everyone's talking about it but I do think like a lot of podcasters will be probably a little bit gutted he's gone because fuck me there's been some great content every week isn't there now what now what we're going to talk about do you know for me it'd be too chill sorry too chill for me yeah right so he's both your number one yeah I don't have a number two I hope he's got one No I wouldn't have a number Myle Carrick maybe outsider just just go and get Keeney Oh fucking hell Someone this might surprise you a little bit but when I'm thinking of stars of football the way they play Eddie Howe Yeah The only trouble I'd find with that was having his assistant on the sideline all the time With the tan But do you know something's cozy I'm serious like I used to think the same about this but when you look at Amren on that on that touchline all the crap he's taken he has taken a lot of crap a lot of shit he's had nobody I've never seen anybody out of his backroom staff going to have his back now people can say what they want about Jason Tindall he's always on his shoulder and he's always got his back now he obviously likes the camera a little bit but he never a little bit but he never he never shirks anything I'm telling you now if I am eyes you I want someone there with me I don't want somebody turning around and seeing everyone going like that and they're like, don't look at me, I'm staying on the bench, he's going shit.

1:10:54Paddy McGuinness:He gets up, he's down next to him. He's got sunbeds at Carrington as well. That was fucking perfect for a minute. They've not got sunbeds at Carrington. They had one when we played. So, Scores didn't go on it. People like Vidic was on it all the time. What? Vitamin D for the winter. Proper sunbeds? Proper sunbeds, stand-up sunbeds in the dressing room. That is fucking bonkers. Vitamin D, they say it's a big thing because of the sunlight. you know obviously the foreign lads are used to it yeah Fittum and Dee's a good thing with the sunlight but not on the fucking sunbed it's supposed to be unsafe it's light for six hours you know what I mean and Dee's foreign lads he weren't used to all that was he he's just put it in my head I might get a sunbed on the way home if he's going to buy do you know what people laugh about the thing when it's about Keeney and he might not even want a job he's got a great job what he does now but if you look at the context Man United over the last since probably since bloody they've tried everything they've tried the superstar managers as in Van Gaal and Mourinho they've tried their own one of their own Oligon or Solskjaer they've then gone out and got the one of the best coaches in Europe Amarin obviously there'll be few in between that as well I mean some of them could be divertable some of them have been shocking why not gonna go why not go and say and I said this before why not why don't you have a little conversation with him because one thing I'm sure about he would do next or right right you would leave it leave the dressing room it might fall out of a few it might knock a couple out let's be honest but what he would do the fan base would just go boom we're going we're gonna go like that oh yeah and and and it might be might never happen but I think it's because it'd be like it'd be like Christian I know coming back yeah it would be I tell you I can't believe it but it would take a real strong leader to employ him I'd be excited about that just as a fan of football I'd really like to see you but I think because of the history with Sir Alex it probably wouldn't happen no it probably won't happen people look at how good he was as a manager have a chat with him sit down and chat with him do you want to know something now Roy over the last probably last 10 years has changed unbelievably he's always been a funny lad he's always great company but he's calmed down so much and I know him as we both know him really really well and mates I consider him a mate I think he's at the stage in life where he definitely know his flaws and he bring people in around him that would accommodate the personality and he will blow he will cause problems but I'm telling you now he would he'd put something into that changing room that it's not had for many times but even like you said when he took like Ipswich for instance which didn't work out but you go he did an incredible job about Sunderland an incredible job yeah the reason might be why he has calmed down a little bit maybe because he hasn't had to deal with players yeah I think that could frustrating just what you were saying about Fletcher and Carrick and then having like Stevie Bruce though.

1:13:48Yeah. Would you think Fletcher and Currican having a Roy though? No. That wouldn't work. He'd have to be the number one.

1:13:53Paddy McGuinness:Roy needs someone like Steve Bruce around him. No, but literally, I don't think that wouldn't work. Roy going there is number one with a contract. I wouldn't imagine him going in for a small period. But Bruce, his life's totally different. His dynamics totally different. He's done that many jobs now. He might be ready for a little bit of a... He's doing a lot of talks about Bruce with the United Games. Do you think United fans would love a box office name or would they just love someone to steady the shape and just get this season finished and then go for a box office? It's a tricky one, isn't it?

1:14:29Look, Amarim didn't want to come mid-season, did he? Are you going to get a top manager now to come in mid-season? I don't know. I really doubt that. Many United have still got a great chance at Champions League football. The league isn't great. It's quite a poor league. and you see some of the silly points he dropped. I saw something last night, I think they've won three games out of ten. But if they beat your Evertons, your Wolves, your Bournemouth, that's another nine points. They'd be right there. They'd almost be challenging for the league. That's how bad this league is. Even the last two games, they've won the last two games.

1:15:02Paddy McGuinness:Leeds, yeah, that was one of them. The fourth or third, it's like, it's mad. But whoever takes it on, obviously Darren's taking it now, but if that last season of the season and he has someone with him, whoever takes this job now are only going to do better than what's been happening. Yeah. So if they're furthering their careers, so if Darren wants to be a manager for the next 10, 15 years, if he does well here, which I think he can do with the right people around him, and Michael comes in or whoever, and Bruce just sits at the side, Bruce probably won't go back into management as he said on here before.

1:15:35Paddy McGuinness:But the other two are young and Michael's already done it, but Darren's got aspirations, I think, to go and do it as well. It's brilliant for him. It's like a Steve McLaren kind of thing for him. Go in and go in and just, listen, the way the fans are in that football club is now, the only thing that they can do now is do better. And it's not because the geniuses of what they do, it's just the feel-good factor will change. More players will come back from injury, timing's right, everyone will give it their all. It's like, sigh of relief, the old regime's gone. Whether they liked him or not, it would crap.

1:16:08Paddy McGuinness:And now, they're going to move it forward and hopefully get in the top four. Well, one thing is for certain, Fletcher's going to have to bring two or three with him. I'm pretty sure all this stuff will be gone he's going to have to find two or three names I don't think there's anybody around the club they're going to have to go and get Michael the more you sit here talking about it now I try to think Michael, Mike Phelan Renny Moolenstein them people who are still around to help him do you know something just randomly when a manager loses his job do you see him again did he sort of come back and go just clearing my desk out like do you go oh right good luck like or are they do you actually see him walking out like that no that's fucking orcs he'd have probably been sacked at the train ground this morning yeah they'd have been in it at half seven we went for a meeting at half seven shut up did they've had him in with a trackie on he'd have got the call last night he'd have got a call last night and he didn't know exactly what's coming and they go in you speak to him for two minutes and they go straight in the HR room and then does he two pin bags no yeah honestly I've seen Mourinho go out with all his personal belongings I've seen Van Gaal go out and it's like you go like it's weird and you go out it's a ruthless world and what did they go and see you lads or did they go thanks for letting me down you twats no they're basically they're all different I mean I remember Van Gaal was upset he might have three bin bags actually one with his fucking nine million quid in it I forgot about that one I've heard people singing and shouting I won't name names not at Man United at certain other places running out happy skipping out I've seen people crying I've seen Van Gaal with tears in his eyes people take it differently so you'll see a manager going oh fucking thank god buzzing you telling me Mourinho sorry Amorin didn't want sacking you don't say what you say if you don't want sacking he's happy this morning yeah he's got that monkey off his back he's got a few quid and he's now going to get another job back in his hometown probably bit of sunshine or Spain or somewhere yeah but he's happy and then you've got the flip side of it who would have been Van Gaal who obviously got this big presence about him as an arrogant Dutch man he was devastated I remember going in to him and going I'm also really sorry he's like he was gutted crying and you're going Jesus he's been one of the biggest clubs in the world and his national team Do you know but that passion's what you want isn't it it's funny they get rid of people Well he got sacked after winning the FA Cup Yeah that's crazy The night of the party Like we said before something proper has happened because Man United is hard to get sacked from that might sound strange but it is a difficult place to get sacked from because the board normally support you and the fans will support you.

1:18:45Well, we'll see what happens now going forward.
